So, let me make sure I understand this "RIGHTs" issue. A girl has the "right" to wrestle. Boys have the right (religious or personal)to reuse to wrestle girls. The SMS boy had a right of expectation to wrestle in a state sanctioned tournmant wherein the wrestlers were bracketed on some estimation of their relative skills, experience, training, physical ability, etc. It appears the girl and the two Catholic wrestlers got to exercise their rights, but doing so they stripped the SMS boy of his expected rights.
Rights. Everybody has some-evidenty some have more rights than others--or to rob someone of their rights. We have just described the problems of this country. Everybody wants his or hers special right at the expense of someone else. Basically, if everybody has rights than nobody has rights. The dogma associated with rights is what is argued everyday in every governmental body in this country. GOD or whoever help us.
I think this is the biggest joke to think the SMS kid got screwed. He had two matches to make it to state and lost. He got his right to wrestle and lost just like all the other kids that competed this weekend. And you're making a huge assumption to say that he would of beat the Gracy girl. His record was barely over .500 and the Gracy girl was at .500. Based on record this would have been a close match. Willy you're climbing up the BS tree on this one.
No ones rights were violated here. The KSHSAA provides a fair forum for kids to wrestle for a championship, its up to you to win or lose. The Catholic kids chose not to wrestle, they're fortunate they had wrestle backs. The Gracy girl got to wrestle and she took 2nd fair and square. SMS wasn't good enough to go on.
