At least according to this Russian Olympic wrestling coach:

Gay Activists Blamed for Wrestling

http://rt.com/sport/olympic-wrestlin...onspiracy-105/

“If they expel wrestling now, that means that gays will soon run the whole world,” the R-Sport agency quotes Uruimagov as saying. “It turns out this committee is headed by representatives of these (sexual) minorities.”

Uruimagov warns the future of humanity is now at stake. “It is necessary for millions around the world to understand that this is a man’s sport and to understand the need to continue the human race to go out and explain their position to the Olympic Committee,” he said. “We should prove and explain that in any other case there is no future.”

He further characterized gays removing wrestling from the Olympics as “a blow to masculine origins.”

LOL! Ain't nothing gayer than two oiled up dudes face planing each other's crotches!

Besides, Russia is going through a spell of extreme homophobia right now, aren't they?

LOL... sad thing is, you know some bigots will actually take this nut seriously! I'm surprised FOX news hasn't picked up the story yet - or have they?

And no offense to you or any other gay men here, but there is literally no sport that is MORE homoerotic than wrestling.

Well they are definitely a far cry from catering to special groups.

Congrats. You just managed to outdo the genius last week who blamed the declining profits of Best Buy and Radio Shack on "Obamacare." Mind-numbing.

For the record, your beef should be with the folks who prefer to watch X-game type sports, synchronized swimming, those women who prance around with those streamers or ribbons and the other "sports" that crowd out actual sports. I suspect wrestling is on the decline in high school, and, besides, that is strictly freestyle. Greco-Roman is such an obscure sport, it has little following and most people who watch the Olympics are more interested in watching 12 hours of gymnastics than elite wrestlers. I have all the respect in the world for wrestlers. Olympic-level freestyle wrestlers are the quickest athletes on the planet. The Greco-Roman guys are amazing, too. The Olympics is not much different than professional sports. It's geared towards giving the consumers what they want and modern Olympics viewers would much rather watch synchronized BMX pool jumping competitions than two impeccably-trained athletes match balance, strength, reflexes and stamina.

Who are you talking to? The OP was making fun of this story, for goodness sakes.

Are you aware of Russian policies? They do not care if you are offended. If you are black, gay, Chechnyan, or any host of various groups you wil be discriminated against. If the cops see people harassing immigrant students they will usually turn a blind eye.

"bigots"? Why? Is this about black wrestlers?
