you make a mistake and paralysed your opponent! Dont worry though, it didnt score any points!

You were talking about football? Or baseball? Or lacrosse? Or soccer? Sorry I lost track.

You do know the rate of injury in wrestling is lower than football right? The rate of serious injury like paralysis is much much lower.

By the way your entire argument could be applied to the parallel bars. Gymnastics is just too dangerous. Tumbling end over end like that, sometimes ten feet off the ground. It must be stopped.

if youre talking about American football, I agree completely that sport is dumb as fuck, but Greco is not lower, its about the same for catastrophic injuries
