Episode 178 of the Short Time Wrestling Podcast features U.S.
men's freestyle World Team member James Green.
Before we get into our discussion with Green, we'll throw you a few
reminders about some of the products and services being offered by
the Mat Talk Podcast Network, including the Hall of Fame Legends
crowdfunding campaign. You can help us produce digital content from
our sports' greats by giving a small monthly donation or a one-time
donation at HallofFameLegends.org. It helps fund the effort and
all the content will be donated to the National Wrestling Hall of
Fame for its digital outreach program.
It's also the 43rd anniversary of Title IX, the legislation that's
helped thousands and thousands of women enjoy the benefits of
sports at the college level (and other parts of life). Title IX is
NOT a sports-only law. It has influence over game times, practice
jerseys, gym facilities. Basically, it's gotta be fair and
equitable. With Title IX's application to college athletics, the
fairness is one-sided. While women have seen monumental growth in
athletics, there is this blind eye to the fact the law has caused
programs to be cut over the years on the men's side. To say Title
IX has never impacted a men's cut is to lack common sense.
But look at the numbers for yourself, before we get to talking with
Green, I'll break down some stats, which you can verify by clicking

Now, James Green. We have fun with Green and talk about his
influences, how he started wrestling in New Jersey, comparisons
(liked or unliked) to his Nebraska comrade Jordan Burroughs and a
litany of other things.
He's a fun guy to talk with and he's up next on Short Time. Follow
