Wrestling dropped from the Olympics

In its infinite wisdom the IOC has decided to drop wrestling from the Olympics... one of the few sports which dates to the FIRST Olympics, in Athens...







Shameful.

Absolutely ridiculous that they would do this. Wrestling is one of the purest and oldest forms of sport. They might as well replace the Olympic torch with a flashlight while they're at it...

 

Stupid decision.

I bet it is reversed.

 

Here's hoping you're correct! Utterly stupid decision.

 

I might be upset...well, if I cared even the slightest bit about the Olympics. Instead...yawn...who cares?

Not enough minorities compete in wrestling, its a white man's sport and the Olympics is committed to diversity.

That is why UFC should be banned in my opinion, they need more affirmative action guys like jon jones etc.. or it wouldn't display diversity.

 

Agreed I hate how ridiculously overly PC the olympics is becoming, we're starting to lose the original point they represented.

 

Source?

 

Yet they leave water polo in...

 

All you can come up with is someone from before my PARENTS were born?! Someone who competed when my GRANDparents were still in school? Really, dude?!

 

Why would they keep boxing and ban wrestling, it looks prejudiced against white men.

 

hey man I grew up playing water polo never the less you have a very valid point...assuming you're saying what I think you are.

Rediculous to eliminate a real conrest of skill and strength and include rythmic gymnastics and badminton.

Is the IOC dominated by effete Euro-Trash?

 

It was the FIRST example.

I await your reply to the content of my post.

How... educated an opinion.

 

What does an NFL player from the 1980's have to do with the Olympics?

 

why else would they drop wrestling? maybe its boring to watch, all the other sports are more entertaining.

 

Then why don't they ban that stupid baton with a ribbon attached, or maybe synchronized swimming? Oh I forget, they don't involve violence and are treats for the mentally challenged elites.

 

Well, I was really hoping it was gonna be the year Hulk Hogan finally takes the gold. What a let-down.

 

wrestling is a brute sport, and the white elites are embarrassed by being associated with such an uncivilized competition...

they allow the brute sport of boxing for the minorities, but that is out of guilt...

 

Maybe it imbibes the spirit of the games more than most any other competition.

Play the counting game with me.

Wrestling/MMA and hockey are about all white guys got.

 

<<<MOD EDIT : Not necessary.>>>

 

Absurd decision by the IOC.

There has to be some behind the scenes leftism at work.

 

But those are all brute sports, leftist elites in the olympics want to ban them and replace them with dignified competition such as swimming, golf, and ribbon swinging.
