Okay fellow members, I have a couple of questions, don't think I am too paranoid but have been thinking of this, especially with using my real name over here.
As most of you know I am a moderator at the mat, I won't be surprised if that changes. I made the commitment to do that and will follow through with that commitment as long as they have me. I did email USA and asked a question for clarification and expressing my concern over recent actions at the mat. I haven't heard anything yet.
A few things, I fully expect they, or someone there is monitoring this board. No biggie, competition is imo a good thing.
Here is my question. What do you see as the positives of this board? The negatives of pulling away from The Mat, etc...?
One concern I have is that for many of us involved in wrestling, USA Wrestling is still the daddy of the sport. For example I can see some things with USA possibly becoming more difficult for those who appear to go against the trend. There is also the obvious that we need to be aware, for those of us who are coaches for example, the free admission into Fargo vs. the $80 they charge everyone else, updates and so forth.
I am staying here, I like this, and most of my friends are here. I think many have likely thought of some of these things and realize that your integrity and principle is higher than a commitment to any organization, or at least present power brokers within that organization. I always admired people who stood on principle and think most of those are here.
Thoughts and ideas?
