Joel Northrup of Linn - Mar, the boy who refused to
wrestle any
girl because of his religious convictions, won one match Friday in the consolation round but
then lost and was eliminated.
Then again it was the
girls choice to become a wrestler which means she think she's brave enough to take on a guy, she knew coming into this business that she would one day have to go against a dude but she still chose to
wrestle so that has to do with her if she gets hurt but I take my hat off to the kid cause he made the right decision even if he did get bad compliments because he was being a gentlemen and taking in consideration of her feeling physically and emotionally.
ive been
wrestling since i was 9 years old and when i went into high school i had to
wrestle a
girl... growing up learning to
wrestle i had ended up having violent style, i never was dirty or broke rules but i was taught to do anything in your power to win whehter it was to club down the head or grab the throat to gain position etc. unfortunately i was in the postion to
wrestle a
girl once and at the time i did nt care who you were boy /
girl, white / black / purple it did nt matter im was going to go out there bounce your head of the mat and bury you, so i went out there and wreslted the same way i always
wrestled, 110 % and always to put your oppenents back through the mat i dditn change my style at all bc she was a
girl i
wrestled the same against everyone but after i pinned her in the first minute i did nt even realize that i broke her ribs when i power doubled through her, now after that for the rest of the tournament i was heckled and berated for forcefully beating a
girl ppl were telling my parents «hey, looks like you raised a wife beater» etc. etc.... ever since
then i refused to
wrestle girls and thank go i eventually grew out of the lower weights, moral of the story is that is great and all that
girls are
wrestling but they shouldnt
wrestle boys even if they know what they are getting into because 1.
