We’ll be standing arm-in-arm with Iran, and we’ll be standing with Russia as we will with lots of other countries,” said Mitch Hull, national teams director for USA Wrestling, in an interview in Tehran with AP Television News before the World Cup Tournament.

Like many manly institutions girlymen and feminazis have taken over the reigns of the Olympics. Might be simpler to jettison these queers and start our own.

Wrestling is has been getting dropped from high schools and colleges (and now the Olympics), because [b]it is an all male sport[/b] (the only reason football hasn’t been dropped is that it is a cash cow).

You can make a pretty good argument that wrestling (in one form or another) is the oldest sport (at worst, it’s a close 2nd to competitive running).

I don’t begrudge women’s sports, but that doesn’t mean we should dump one of the oldest sports in history.
