It’s gonna be fun when the first ‘transgendered’ whatever joins the team.

I’m not even sure girls should rassle at all on a varsity level. It’s out of character.

(actually this ruins wrestling for boys, as the most common concerns they express are 1) I’ll be embarrassed if I end up touching her THERE, or 2) She’s a girl, I’m afraid I might hurt her)

and (3): her proven-to-be-litigious may sue the male wrestlers for sexual assault or harassment if they touch a boob, and they will be put on the sexual predator watch list and have their futures ruined.

Yabut, what if they're a bunch of mean-looking, short-cropped, hatchet-faced, bone-crushing lesbians?

I couldn’t disagree more.

The camaraderie between boys and girls make them like brother and sister. They really bond quite well as buddies and gain mutual respect.

By the time they get to high school they don’t even date each other but have to get dates from other schools because it feels too “close” to date your hockey team member!

So where do you draw the line? Swimming? Chess? Soccer? Field Hockey?

You attitude is very Taliban to me.

As long as we keep emasculating the young men and encouraging young women to be one of the guys this should do absolute wonders for our country!

If you are 14 - 15 years old & wrestle a girl of the same age mother nature will take over despite your dedication to the purity of the sport. That being said I would have loved to participate.

I’m guessing you’renot involved with youth wrestling. Both of my boys wrestle and there are girls on the team. The girls practice with the boys and girls (who you practice with depends on weight class and skill level), the coaches demonstrate using the girls (whichever wrestler just happens to be closest when a demonstration is needed) and the girls wrestle boys in tournaments... and win. Not because the boys don’t want to touch them or hurt them (believe me, lay off on one of our girls and she’ll make you regret it), but because they are well trained, well conditioned and well coached. They also know how to win with grace and lose with dignity. Get over it. No big deal unless some “adult†makes it a big deal.

Surely there is a balance between burkas and having boys grabbing at girls’ groins....

Same as he would on a 14 year old boy... T-bar? Chicken wing? You haven't wrestled in a very long time, have you?

If you think about anything other than winning during a match you're gonna get your ass kicked. Wrestling matches are determined by split second lapses in focus as I'm sure you will confirm.

That said the parents are ridiculous when they say

"It is the contention of the girl’s parents, Brian and Angie Beattie of Herndon, their daughter was being prevented from trying out for the wrestling team due to her gender."

Well, duh. Gender is a qualifier for participating on a boy's or girl's team? What a shocker!

Well, this comes from confusion. God is the answer here, but we thought we were oh so smart. Some of the supposedly oh so smart people even ran churches, and they were the worst because they could have shared God but instead presumed to re-mold God.

Amazing even some FReepers fall for the leftism of boys and girls being somehow the same. They are not the same.

Or getting a boner in those spandex wrestling uniforms after rolling around with a hot girl.

No one has ever refused to wrestle her that I know about.

But I was at a match where the mom was videotaping a match and the opponent’s dad got in her face and screamed at her not to video his son wrestling a girl. It went on until the dad was ejected from the tourney.

The son lost.

I have been on the mats for a lot of years now and have seen countless matches between boys and girls. Not once has that ever happened. Not once.
