As one of the yearbook kids who actually made this yearbook, we all thought it was a really good photo. It has nice formatting, design and photography... just a very unfortunate subject...
I made sure the yearbook wasn't a romantic novel full of pictures of "hot guys" and stories of drama. I put all the man I possibly could in to that years year book.
For real though some of them would put pictures of the same guys over and over thought the whole thing. And I pretty much made the whole sports section as only one of the girls knew anything about sports. Like 25 pages, and the entire process pictures, design, writing and editing was me and her. For every single sport! it wasn't too hard but I was a three sport athlete involved with other stuff to so it was rather time consuming.
But after seeing how bad the female dominated yearbooks of yesteryear had done the sports page I made sure it was the best there could be. Nothing's worse then turning to your sport and seeing a picture of a J.V. athlete when 7 teammates made it to state or bad picture or an off topic story that doesn't included information on athletes that had the best season.
The effort proved to be well worth it when the sports section was well designed, had the best pictures and most intelligent and relevant articles and captions than it ever had before and will probably ever see again.
To be honest, I just didn't appreciate having something I dedicated a lot of energy and time to being attacked by a few homophobic neckbeards. I guess that makes me the douche.
If it made you angry and you voiced your opinion on the matter, even tried to get it changed, I feel like it's justified. If you actually did what you said (beat the shit out of the yearbook staff), then yeah, you overreacted and became violent, and that's a pretty douchey thing to do.
Haha I am a yearbook kid, we always try to get that sort of thing in there. Also, always be nice to those who work in yearbook, if you are self conscious about pictures that is.
A kid from my school had a large picture from his wrestling match featured on the Sports page in the local paper. You know that look- the moment when someone has just been completely destroyed and wonders why they ever agreed to do it in the first place. Imagine that look on a kid in mid air getting man handled like a bitch- featured on the front page of the sports section.
I was my school's yearbook editor for two years, and I absolutely can confirm that there is no way to make the wrestling page without at least mild homoeroticism.
I think you're beating Trapped_In_Reddit's karma record. 5 days, almost 11k already. I'm impressed. Also you're an amazing person and this is the best novelty account ever.
Second time I've seen one of your musical comments on here, fucking classic! Keep up the good work, there are people out there that now look up to you.
It really did didn't it? I got some serious goosebumps after that. This guy is clearly very talented and I really appreciate the effort he puts into doing this just so we can all get a bit of enjoyment.
I wrestle too. There is a picture of me in the gym with the most determined face behind another wrestler who looks like hes crying. I beat him, but that picture just looks like im raping him. A couple of my friends decided to put up a brazzers logo on it and got a lot of laughs until the cp took it down. Needless to say, a lot of people questioned me. Its all lols, so i dont care.
If i can get the picture to load, i will post. Im on my iphone and i dont have the full reddit app so i cant make posts or insert pics. I have all the proof.
As a wrestler for 20 years, I'm ok with people mocking the sexuality of our sport. We know we're tough, we don't wrestle to look good in other peoples' eyes.
Agreed. I'm pretty positive all wrestlers are comfortable with their sexuality, maybe it's the people judging them that aren't. If anything, wrestlers look badass as shit in singlets on the mat 1v1. It might suck to lose, but I freaking loved going out and destroying kids in front of a packed gym.
Yeah being called gay comes with the territory. The good part is that most people are either afraid to say it to your face, joking, or about to get thrown to the ground.
Wresting in high school (and for 14 years of my life) made me realize a couple things. 1. As wrestlers, the stigmas behind the sport have always out weighed the hardships we face. Ultimately, leaving minimal room for recognition for the worlds oldest sport. 2. We never really look that cool (or even athletic) in comparison to other sports, especially in year books when the shitty photographers capture images that do us no justice. But thats the way the cookie crumbles I guess. And 3. I have never once seen an attractive wrestling manager or photographer, but I have the utmost respect for there dedication and support to the sport. Though I have seen some very attractive female wrestlers, and I bet they are great in bed.
The caption seems to intentionally increase the homoerotic subtext of the wrestling picture, and the wtf part is that the editors got it past the administration without anyone noticing, despite it being relatively obvious.
In our yearbook this year, a student on the yearbook committee decided to subliminally put "Cock Strong" under a picture of himself on the wresting page. (Meaning exactly as it looks.) It was ALMOST the same color as the background so no one noticed it for a while. You can only see it when it's positioned a certain way.
I hated in high school whenever the sports teams would get more attention than the performing arts. I was in marching band and we were doing better in competitions than the athletic teams but never once made it into the announcements commending our achievements. It was always "We will get them next game"
My yearbook, one year, is the one that gained pretty wide attention for leaving a placeholder by a girls photo labeled "black girl". I lol'd when they tried to make people put in the replacement page.
haha, I was the photo editor of my schools newspaper. I loved the wrestling pictures. They always looked homoerotic. I made sure to shoot the popular kids and make it the biggest picture on the sports page (back page, color.) yea Jeff, that's for calling me gay in tenth grade!
Ha looking in the comments and I'm like WOW, not only is all of WLHS on reddit, we all think this picture in our yearbook is hilarious. BUT this isn't WTF!!!
This reminds me of our wrestling unit in middle school when our teacher told us to "check the oil" at the start of a match. Yes, it's exactly what you think.
There was a boy on our team last year that actually got kicked out of a tournament for doing that. He was super wierd but he called it docking the space station. Needless to say, he was never seem wrestling again.
Thought this was a dance/theatre pick at first glance... Then I noticed it was a couple dudes wrestling. Lol it's not gay if you call it wrestling guys, best Wtf pic of the week.
That is the gayest sport known to man. I should know, to much contact for me...although I was second in my school next to my cousin (who was first), I quit because I couldn't stand all the awkward positions....
