I agree with defref. A lot of the comments I have been reading recently that pertain to schools canceling wrestling trips have been inappropriate and completely out of line. I don't care how many times you've posted and I don't even care who you are or what you've done for Kansas wrestling in general. That does not make it OK for you to criticize an act that is in the best interest of the kids. No matter what you may believe, wrestlers and coaches are friends, siblings, children, and parents before they are participants in the sport. I hope from the bottom of my heart that none of you ever have to experience the loss of a child but that is exactly what is being risked when you send a busload of them onto the road in heavy fog and ice. And for what? A few wrestling matches? Nothing is worth that. You can go ahead and call for me to get banned from this forum. I really don't care. I'm growing pretty weary of many of the people on this forum who feel that they are above criticism, no matter how baseless, pompous, arrogant, and irresponsible their comments may be. Maybe before you attack someone for calling you out you should take a good look at who really has the problem.
School was not canceled because of hazardous travel conditions. Everyone agrees that we should take care in those instances. The issue was exactly "It is too cold.". We cannot save everyone and it is ridiculous to think we can! If the going gets tough stay at home because something bad might happen! You might have a better shot at winning the Powerball Lottery than being hurt or killed but don't risk it! Many of us, set wrestling aside for second, are sick of the the whining minority who cannot seem to take care of themselves or make decisions for self preservations. Decisions are not being made by the majority for the majority but instead in fear of litigation. Litigators are killing our country and robbing us of our freedom!
