It's been a full day, and you will have your ignorant fucks throw out the gay jokes, but I still have not seen one person (whether they like wrestling or not) say this was a logical decision by the IOC.

Oh, so it's justified? And show me where I called any person gay. I called the sport gay.

That's because this wasn't a logical decision.

Where did I specifically call you an ignorant fuck?

Your fail argument can go both ways.

Good, hopefully the sport is done away with so we can see an improvement in HS basketball

LOL, just when I thought you couldn't get any dumber. Please answer:

1. How losing olympic wrestling will help HS basketball?

2. When was the last time you have seen a wrestler and think "man, that guy should be playing basketball?" I have never seen a wrestler get cut, or quit wrestling to play basketball. In fact I am pretty sure most guys who aren't skilled enough to play bball end up wrestling...

3. As FFL asked, how does wrestling currently ruin the quality of HS basketball? You mean if there wasn't HS wrestling, Lebron would have been a lot better? If there wasn't HS wrestling, would ESPN broadcast more HS basketball games, since some basketball games are over shadowed by wrestling events on ESPN (/sarcasm)? Man, poor HS basketball players... I feel so bad for the guys who are capable of going straight to the NBA from HS, but are held back because of HS wrestling...

Just so this doesn't go over your head, question #3 was mostly tongue in cheek.

LOLFAIL.

Not sure if serious.

Have you ever seen a wrestler play a pickup game?

AC Slater was an all-city wrestler but might be THE worst basketball player I've ever seen try.

Wrestling isn't my thing but I see zero reason to eliminate it. At least I know it's a sport. Though curling is awesome...love seeing guys frantically sweeping ice and then crying.

:laugh:I'm just messing with you guys about that. But seriously I hate wrestling, I love sports and that's boring. Plus in HS whenever you went to a friends house that wrestled they always try to wrestle and it gets annoying after awhile. They think they're so good at it, all you do is not let the other guy get lower than you so they can't put you into a lock. Real f***ing hard

Lol. Ive never wrestled as an actual sport. But just watching you can tell it is not easy. Hell, I get tired doing anything for a minute. Cant imagine trying to go hard for 6 minutes without stopping, for the most part.

I know right? When I was in HS, I went a friends house that played bball. They would always try and play bball and it gets annoying after awhile. They think they are so good at it, all you do is not let the other guy make the ball go in the basket. Real f***ing hard.

His comment was a general comment about people who call wrestling gay. You can cry about it (like you said we were doing over your comment) or you can get over it.
