But where does it cross the line Cpt?
Perhaps a "crotch chop"? Of course there is always the ever popular "Cut throat" Perhaps next year one of the 10 year olds can have a girl dressed in a skimpy bikini escort him out to the middle?

great sport yes but do your history the only reason the sport exist becuase gladator to proform infront of 87000 romans show off there abilties as a fighter but also entertianing the fans so they get payed and feed so there showing off is just tradtion The Greeks are actually the ones responsible for starting competitive wrestling. And if you wanna get real technical, it was probably Jacob wrestling with the angel in Genesis that's really responsible for the entire idea of wrestling. Then you can trace it all the way through time after that, which is many years before the Romans. So to say that the Romans is the only reason our sport exists is not just a bit of a stretch, but a completely false statement. Sorry to burst your bubble.

Jacob wrestling with the Angel should be enough for more private colleges in the state to add wrestling..."tell me mr. athletic director...where in the good book does it mention basketball?"

I think not meeting the other wrestlers in the middle was poor sportsmanship indeed, but as far as the other actions, they may feel they need the extra attention. When your athlete is a true athlete, he will be in the spotlight when walks on the mat, nothing special required. Some of the actions we wittnessed made ours go to the challenger and tell them what a good job they did. It only made him proud of what he is and how he handles his success.

Sorry swayz, this may be a bit of a stretch but they played in David's court.:) Side note I wanted to name my boy Jacob Israel but momma overruled me to Jacob Daniel

showboating is showboating, it's a ugly thing to do. This sport dont need that. To be one of the top six in the state, Heck to be in the top sixteen that make it to state should be enough for people to know who the kids are. To do something that sticks out or disrespects the other wrestler is bad sportsmanship, and that needs to STOP !!!!
