For reasons that could only be described as ___________, the International Olympic Committee kicked Olympic Wrestling to the curb last week. Although it was a sport that the United States excelled at, it clearly was a treasured sport by other countries in the world. While I do not claim to be a “fan” of wrestling, I have watched it on occasion and appreciate all the complexities of it.
There was considerable surprise and outrage about it in social media. But I stumbled across this video today that sums up the passion of those in the sport. If this doesn’t get you fired up to #SaveOlympicWrestling, then nothing will. Great job by Gregory Sanders on this video.
I’m ready! LET’S GO!!
Share it on Twitter, Facebook, Google+ or wherever.
It’s worth sharing…and saving the sport!

They’ll figure this out sometime before 2020. There’s a lot of support for keeping wrestling. And lots of those guys are big and strong!!!
They’ll figure this out by 2020. Too much tradition. And too many big, strong guys they’re crossing!
