Colorado high school wrestler forfeits state tournament match rather than wrestle girl

the student cited his religious and personal beliefs for forfeiting the matches.

Johnston has never wrestled a girl before and also forfeited against a female opponent in the state tournament last year, the media outlet reported.

“Wrestling is something we do, it’s not who we are,” Johnston told The Denver Post. “And there are more important things to me than my wrestling. And I’m willing to have those priorities."

Time was when I had something to say on these trends.

But society doesn’t give a crap what I think or believe. This is what they want, so let them have it, I guess.

I fondly remember my testosterone raging teenage years, and if I was a wrestler, I certainly would have considered giving it a try....maybe even prolonged the match a little --

I wrestled in High school. Graduated in 97. There were female wrestlers then and nobody seemed to have an issue with it.

Kinda what I was thinking too.

Did anyone actually read his reason why? This kid has class and that is it. He will be a winner at life.

I did and thought the same. More important things than to validate political stunts and forget virtuous behavior toward women. Feminists talk endlessly about toxic masculinity. Here’s an example of feminists egging it on.
