No. And honestly I muted his wrestling Twitter due to off topic political bleed over. Better to have the politics filtered out by posters here. Saves clicks too.

Same, unfortunately. I hate having to because I do appreciate the wrestling stuff, but it always bled over. I try to keep wrestling stuff separate from all the political shit.

Yeah, I just saw a different clip and an accompanying photo where it showed it was worse than what I could see on the broadcast. It still didn’t look intentional to me or affect the action, but it was definitely worse than first appeared.

I think that one can appreciate all that Burroughs has done for the sport, but one can also not like the guy. Why do I have to respect or like someone just because of their accomplishments. I don't believe in that. Am I going to shout at him, no, but I don't have to suck up to him either.

If you are a jackass, expect the same type of behavior back from some people. Stop clutching your pearls.

I watched the replay a couple of times. Caught it on slow motion. It was an unintentional pull of the singlet by the side of his pinky finger as his hand was coming down to block Brooks’ attack. The singlet barely moved and it didn’t affect the action at all.

I’m glad that Brooks won, but I don’t think that call should’ve been made. But technically the singlet was pulled and Zahid would have likely lost the challenge because of it. Not the best way to win or lose a match. But a win is a win.

One fan, in all of BJC, yelled that Burroughs career was over? The outrage is like he spit on him, threw things at him or used a racial slur. Shame on the guy for yelling something the announcers actually talked about during the broadcast. Fake outrage by people trying to get clicks

The whole career is over certainly stems from Carter’s call out after JBs unprofessional comment at NCAAs. Then JB didn’t let it die as he posted again when Carter changed weight classes that it will be hard to end his career when they aren’t in the same class. So honestly it isn’t a crazy uncalled for comment by a fan. Would I have said it, probably not, but you asked for it and you got it. You knew where the trials were. Don’t instigate something and claim to be the victim when it gets thrown back at you.

Since I'm the one who made the Iowa and Downey comparisons, let me be clear:

I have never booed or heckled athletes. Booing Burroughs during the matches is one thing -- he took multiple lungers and got chippy against a home athlete -- but afterward makes the match about him and not about Jason. I celebrate our guys.

Unfortunately that's unrealistic. It has never happened that way anywhere on earth in any high-stakes, high-intensity event.

So if a few guys yelled at him -- didn't throw batteries or coins at him, didn't slur him, didn't threaten him or his family -- then I'm not getting worked up over a professional athlete getting yelled at. Burroughs will somehow survive. Doesn't make it right, just what it is.

And the public response to those fans was way over the top and mockable.

JB and Manning are insufferable jackasses who have not hesitated to throw shade at PSU any time they can. If "career is over" is all that was said, that's pretty mild.

Notice the crowd reaction when Cox took his shoes off. Nice send off for a class act guy.

no the fan behavior towards JB was embarrassing this weekend.

there are a lot of amazing PSU fans and many post here. but like any large national fan base, it’s also full of loud morons.

His comments are about all of us? I have 20 friends there and 20 friends watching at home. All Penn State fans and even more wrestling fans. I received 7 text messages saying what a career and can we call him the best ever yet?

Jordan had some disrespectful moments today, but that doesn't mean he deserved those comments at the end.

I will give you my opinion as long as diggerpup stays out of this thread. 😂

Years back i made a comment about freestyle and heard from him. Now i just let other posters complain about freestyle.

Everyone is allowed to have an opinion about the sport.

But why do posters pop into freestyle event threads to bitch about freestyle?

That's akin to an atheist running into Sunday Mass & yelling he doesn't believe in God.
(hyperbole, I admit)

It's not the time or place.

I know how Iowa fans act I sat in carver every meet. There’s a lot of embarrassing behavior out of Iowa fans, does that mean I can’t point out embarrassing behavior from different fan bases?

No, it’d just make you a hypocrite. You know, while we’re using a generalized tweet to generalize entire fan bases.
