Everyone keeps saying the heat, but you are singling out one family in the AC Heat. AC Heat is more than just the "Dicksons". Everyone in the heat is learning from the same coach and that coach is not the Dicksons. So why is there only a problem with the Dicksons? Everyone knows that wrestling is a very physical sport and there is always a chance that someone will get hurt. It happens all the time. I feel for the kid from Derby and his family. It is a very unfortunate accident. Everyone is acting like this is the first time that anyone has broken anything in wrestling. I was at the tournament and saw the match, and I didn't see any celebration of another kid getting injured. What I did see is the celebration of a victory just like every other club in the gym. It was not just the Dicksons celebrating either, it was the whole AC Heat organization. I havnt seen not one comment about the kid at the same tournament on mat 5 who bit another kid, nor anything about the kid that kicked his opponent in the head, or all the clubs who cheer for any kid that wrestles against the Dickson boys(since we are supposed to be talking about sportsmanship). Then to come here and read all the talk about unsportsmanship and illegal moves is ludacris. If you think that these kids are taught to come out and intentionally harm another kid, then you people are just as ignorant as your comments. Especially when none of you even know the Dicksons or have even held a conversation with them. These kids want to win just like every other kid that steps on the mat. The only difference is when they lose you don't their parents crying and making up excuses in a chat forum. And whomever came up with the Dicksons got kicked out of the Ark City Takedown is ignorant too, because they didn't. I have nothing against the Takedown club, but why stay with a team that doesnt support you and your kids, especially when you give that team all your blood and support. I dont blame them I would have left too. Everyone is loosing focus that it is about the kids. I have yet to hear any kid say anything bad about the Dickson kids. Its always the parents that have the problem, and they aren't even the ones wrestling. These boys will go to college with or without wrestling because they are exceptional in the classroom as well as on the mat or the field or in any sport they choose to compete in. I've seen these kids working out all summer not because they have to, but because they want to be the best at whatever they do, while they rest of you have your kids playing playstation and eating snacks all day. So, dont hate their parents for wanting the same things for their kids that you want for yours. Just stop looking for excuses and look in the mirror, because thats where it all starts. The only ones complaining is a bunch of "pecks" that can't stand to see these kids win all the time
especially with all the support that they get. And yes, contrary to what most of you think they do have a lot of support.
