The American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) sent a letter to the
National Collegiate Wrestling Association (NCWA) alleging
discrimination. While the NCWA had 10 days to legally respond to
the allegations, the ACLU went on a media assault, pushing out
video content and share campaigns aimed at pushing the agenda to
the masses.
There's one (or more than one) problem, the NCWA is the only
organization that offers college teams, albeit mostly student-run
clubs, to compete in both men's and women's divisions. That isn't
good enough for one Michigan native, so the ACLU pounced, labeling
itself a champion for women's wrestling.
On Episode 361, three women's wrestlers come to the table to talk
about the problems with the ACLU narrative, explaining the depth of
the current women's wrestling opportunities around the country and
what is being done by all factions of wrestling to support the
growth of women's teams -- all things the ACLU left out of its
marketing push.
Joining the show is Short Time regular and King University
assistant coach Julia Salata, former Oklahoma City wrestler Shelby
Morrison and former U.S. women's national team member and Menlo
College alum Katherine Shai (formerly Fulp-Allen).
The discussion explains the structure of how girls can wrestle in
college -- with schools that actually have college wrestling teams.
For first-time listeners looking for facts and scenarios ignored by
the ACLU media push, you've come to the right place. Want to hear
what the lion's share of how women's wrestlers feel about this?
Your ears await.
