Nigel --

I tried to diplomatically handle this situation by personal email asking you to remove my son's name from your post. You replied with sarcasim and your thoughts of "right to free speech." Well -- here's my free speech. I believe you also went on to talk about YOUR disappointment of being injured costing a scholarship for wrestling because of an injury. I take it there wasn't an academic scholarship to back you up. You could have learned alot in the ETHICS classes. You've preached numerous times about sportsmanship. Where does personal threats fall into your agenda in sportsmanship?

Quote:
"Of course if you really want to find that out im sure we can meet up at a tournament this summer, that is if you know how to wrestle freestyle." AND .......
"OU812 please tell me who you are and maybe I'll give ya a chance to have a piece of me. Im not really into wrestling people without names."

Twice in one topic!!! And I thought you were injured???

One thing my college education taught me was to practice what you preach. If you are as devoted to sportsmanship as you THINK you are, you probably would not being taking personal jabs at our devine youth of Kansas.

For the record: I have spoken with numerous people that were watching Jimmy's match including several of the Maize Wrestling organization, Jimmy's coaches, and OUR club president. Everyone saw the same picture, unlike the picture that you THINK you saw. We have had the privlege of wrestling the Kellers, practicing with the Kellers, visting with the Kellers, and meeting up with the Kellers at NATIONAL tournaments and have enjoyed every minute of it. Hopefully our boys will be successful in their wrestling careers and ACADEMICALLY to get a college education. I'm sure they will learn some ETHICS along the way.

In reply to your satirical email -- As a parent, I would NEVER allow my son to wrestle for a so called COACH that finds enjoyment at a twelve year old's expense!!! On second thought, evaluating your posts, you spend more time as a spectator hawkeyeing wrestlers who do not gently place their band on the mat and spectators who are feeling the same pain of the wrestler. Sounds to me like you would be a better spectator than coach. In addition, you will never be blessed with the opportunity to EVER coach THE BOMB!

I wish the ABILENE wrestling organization the best of luck in their ventures with you.

Sincerely ---
Steve & Mary Stults
