Maybe a way to grow wrestling is to create a soap opera. Heavy doses in the offseason and little microdoses in season
Both mineo and bachmann dad embarrassing behavior.
But bachman did not look good or wrestle smart. What the hell was he doing the whole second and 3rd period. Did he think he was winning😂😂😂😂 where what were coaches telling him! My god that was awful strategy. Got out horsed, out wrestled and brainfart planning. Stayed on top with no attempt to turn like he was winning. Baffling. He was just trying to keep it close but failed. Not close to basett

Maybe get a dictionary, look up the definition of cry, perhaps comprehend it.

so the opinion of this entire thread is yea screw mineo ? I’m not even a big mineo fan and I battle with that clown Jeff Lee on the regular but this is parent that is sending mineo photos of Mineos wife and kids and making veiled threats over comments from a Facebook page about high school wrestling. That’s not insane to you guys?
I never post but, if he doesn't want smoke, don't start fires.

Bachmann's dad is going to have a really tough time if he is this thin skinned. There really wasn't even anything to get upset about. Bo does infact make really skilled high school kids fold often. He is also older and stronger than most of them. Bachmann boys are both studs and can let the wrestle speak quite well. It is hard for parents but you really just have to quit reading this stuff if you don't have the self control to let it go. Responding just opens you up to more crap from other sources.

Pat is, without doubt, a world-class jack wagon. That said : the Bachman's father sorta seems like one as well. I expected what was said to be actually overly critical or negative. These are are high level division 1 recruits who are being paid to attend a college and wrestle when they do go to college. Criticism comes with that. College athletes and their families sure do enjoy the benefits of the modern landscape and getting paid while sometimes not understanding the other side of that coin. Your son is not some innocent college student beyond reproach. They're essentially paid employees, will be officially someday, and they are open to criticism, warranted or not.

Ah, no thank you.
Soap operas will happen. Creating extra controversy, like Mineo does, can only hurt our sport.

He is insinuating that you are a cry baby little *****... his words
For the most part, he is a very solid poster on this site. However, every once in a while his inner PSU slappiness comes out. I don't think he can control it, but he does better than most! ;)

This has nothing to do with fandom. This has to do with presumably grown men acting like children. Why go after someone's wife? It is stupid, lazy, and cowardly. You like to debate. What side of that debate do you land on?

I already basically said that I understand it, even if I don't necessarily agree with it. Many parents are so protective of their children that they sometimes see red and respond overaggressively. I would hope I would take a different, more directed approach if I was in that situation, but I most certainly am not going to pass judgement over it....

Fine. I will pass judgement.

You guys want to trash Mineo, and that I agree with. He is the worst of the worst. I have told him this directly. In turn he called me an "a hole". I feel like I should get t-shirts printed up.

But guys like @ChicagoHawk2020 think the right response to Mineo's awfulness is to become like Mineo. So much the worse for him.

I have no issue with using the "2 wrongs don't make a right" angle here. I just am not really bothered by it because of who Mineo has shown himself to be and his being a "public" figure in this sport. I know using "public" figure here is much more loose than many other public figures, but you open yourself up and even your family when you choose that type of profession.

With that said, I personally like to go right after the person and topic in question vs. going the route that was chosen, so I would like to think I wouldn't go there.....

I will say that this reminds me of a joke I heard not that long ago. I am paraphrasing a bit, but it basically goes: A husband and wife were arguing after the credit card bill came in the mail. The husband basically said, "You know we can't afford all this. What were you thinking?" Her immediate response was, "Yeah, well your hair looks so stupid like that!"

Basically, people respond differently when they feel they are being attacked and many of those go off topic, trying to hurt as much or even more than they feel hurt by the original topic...

Minnow gets no leeway, he's earned it.

Ever think if everyone that had an issue with him avoided him and his content that might hurt him more than engaging him?

Yeah, no. Him doing a ****** thing opens him up to criticism, not his wife. His wife hasn't come at any of the HS kids.
Im not saying it’s the approach I would take going after him but when his whole MO is to rage bait people I don’t want to hear him cry like a ***** when he pisses someone off enough to mention his wife. Again I’m not saying it’s the right way to go after him but maybe he should just shut the F up if he can’t handle it.
