I've been involved in the sport since the 1970s, as have my children their entire lives. The benefits of wrestling, mental and physical, are far beyond anything you obviously can imagine.....though I quite frankly question the quality of your imagination.
Don't waste your breath fighting the ignorance that surrounds the sport. I've learned over the years that people who don't get it, just won't get it.
What does wrestling have to do with lynching, anyway?
If those kids wanted to send a message, wouldn't they pose with the dummy in some kind of wrestling hold?
Why a lynching?
A "lynching"? Are you kidding? Did you ever play any sports when you were a kid? We used to burn in effigy the mascots of other teams. As I recall, most of the time, the effigy was "escorted" to the pyre with a noose around its neck. Did it have anything to do with racism? No!
Here you go, scroll down this vast array of homecoming float pictures.
-Opponents buried with tombstones
-Opponents tied to rotisserie
-Crushed under a boot
-Locked up
-Chained up
-Shooting and eating the opposing team is also not an uncommon theme apparantly
and so on and so forth.....
What does football have to do with caging ones opposition and then slow-roasting them?
In the team "selifie" you can see the players, all white, posing for the picture. The town the high school is in is primarily white (and poor), and the rival team is from a town with a high black population. Even I think this is a little bit racist and I am not overly sensitive to that sort of thing.
White guys....and their obsession with black guys, it never ends. We all know the real "envy" that they possess.
