His loss.  She was obviously good enough to make it to the championships.  She had the right stuff.  I wish her well in her wrestling endeavors.  As for the boy, well, he knew she was in the line up all along.  If he has religious beliefs against women in combat, then this was the best decision for him. I don't think they should have rearranged the tournament schedule just for him. If she was good enough, sooner or later he'd have to wrestle her anyway.  Thankfully, the military doesn't agree with him.

Haha. Just as I thought. I was thinking about getting some reactions from you ladies here against the guy's decision. Let's just say the girl was good enough to beat him but isn't that a straight up awkwardness-opposite gender combat? The military of course will always be an exemption to that. lol

I was in the military.  I don't see the awkwardness.  Besides, he said his religion was the problem, not feeling awkward.  If he wants to bow out due to his religion, that's fine.  No one stopped him.    I'm not for or against his choices.  They were his to make and he made them.  I think it was a bit fool hardly to dump his scholarship chances over this, but that was his decision. He may have thrown away a scholarship at a state university, but I'm sure a religious college in line with his choices will be happy to pick him up.  Because he didn't perform though, the state universities will probably bypass him in favor of those who did wrestle.  They care about performance - not religion.

Woah. Never thought you were from the military. Well I guess, I can't argue about this anymore. Besides, I think you got a good point. wink.gif
