Edom Is Not The Energizer Bunny, Nor Is It Still Going

Wrestling [Olympics 2020]: Dead.Over.The Way of The Dinosaur.Edom is Too Tired To Continue.Uncle.

The Olympics has canceled Wrestling from the 2020 Olympics. This is actually mind blowing.

To start things off on this topic, Jacob merited to be called Israel [Wrestling with God] by doing just that, he wrestled with God.

It seems Edom is just too tired too even wrestle [for their own blood] anymore.

Every wrestler in the world lives and wrestles for one dream only: get the gold medal, spend every four years chasing that dream, and live your life from youth to [hypothetically] old age to do so. For the wrestler, it is not a sport, it is a part of life, a way of life, a faction of the Briah.

Wreslting, according to Torah - Is part of the Briah! Jacob wrestled, it is in the Chumash, and thus it has divine roots; Jacob didn't become Israel by shooting hoops with the malach hamavet in a drive way game of basketball.

There are a few options here:

• Is this a spiritual attack on the name Israel [wrestle with God]? If you eliminate the concept from the psyche, lost will be the feel for what Jacob stands for.
• MMA vs. Wrestling. Wrestling is actually a very noble sport, and one seen with high codes of morality, honor, proper conduct etc. Much the same way champion chess players are treated with esteem for their abilities, such is the way of the wrestler. Is the goal of Edom to even more mainstream Mixed Martial Arts, aka modern day gladiators [of which wrestlers succumb to for financial reasons, and obviously enough they excel in the crossover] and gain wrestling devotion, thereby ending wrestling desire [amongst the youth especially] and promote blood thirsty savage people [again, esp. kids] to become entertainment venues, primed and ready to spill endless amounts of blood for a cheap thrill in each city across the globe? [Edom-izing the planet, or better yet: Edom -Amalekizing]
• Or - is Edom simply too tired; Too tired to train [of which wrestling is known for, superior conditioning to withstand intense action for long periods, of which for success, condition must not be a factor to the negative.], too tired to care, too tired for genuine sport, etc etc.

• Is there any real chachmah even left for America to maintain authenticity?

Does Edom have any Ko-ach left? It seems all that seems dear to them is falling  aside, and only to detriment; when wrestling goes - MMA rises, with the Pope stepping down - the evil of Catholicism seems poised to make a run at Jerusalem, etc. etc.


YahooNews:

Wrestling's world governing body is hoping to make the International Olympic Committee perform a dramatic U-turn and save the sport from being booted out of the Games.

Wrestling has been a part of every modern Olympics dating back to 1896. (AP) The wrestling world was shocked when an IOC vote on Tuesday put it on the fast-track to Olympic extinction, with its only chance of survival coming in September when it will be one of seven sports bidding to be part of the 2020 Games.

Wrestling's governing body FILA did little in the way of lobbying to protect itself from being cut ahead of Tuesday's meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland. Bracketed with other endangered Olympic sports such as modern pentathlon, field hockey and taekwondo, wrestling's hierarchy apparently assumed its long history in both the modern and ancient Olympics would ensure its safety.

"FILA was greatly astonished by today's recommendation of the IOC Executive Board not to maintain wrestling among the 25 core sports for the 2020 Olympic Games," read a FILA statement. A concerted political and public relations effort from the other sports meant wrestling did not make the cut – something it wants to rectify between now and September. Much of wrestling's core support lies in Russia where several of that country's wealthy oil businessmen are avowed fans, have sponsored tournaments and contributed funds to Russia's national wrestling program. [Related: Fans on Twitter make their case for wrestling] "This is something that can be looked at and there are wealthy and successful people who love wrestling," a FILA source told Yahoo! Sports. "The only option now is to try to raise awareness and support and that will take a lot of effort and money.

"People must be made to see how wide-ranging the support for wrestling is around the world." FILA is expected to spend heavily on a promotional video to be used at the IOC meeting in September, and its president, Raphael Martinetti of Switzerland, will spearhead an emergency meeting at the federation's annual conference in Thailand next week.

But it still might not be enough. The IOC rarely reverses its decisions, and even though none of the other sports hoping for 2020 inclusion have particularly compelling claims – squash and karate are the favorites – wrestling knows it is desperation time.

"FILA will take all necessary measures to convince the IOC Executive Board and IOC members of the aberration of such decision against one of the founding sports of the ancient and modern Olympic Games," added the FILA statement. FILA's campaign will rely heavily upon its international nature, with 179 affiliate nations, and even though the details will not be finalized for some time, it has already been discussed that the promotional video should feature footage of athletes from smaller nations with otherwise limited Olympic representation. On a smaller scale, individual athletes and fans are already trying to play their part. Jake Herbert of the United States, a 2012 world silver medalist, urged those with inspirational stories of how wrestling had positively impacted their lives to email him. Herbert plans to collate the messages and send them to the IOC in an attempt to further the cause.

, there was disappointment, mixed with the kind of defiance that might be expected from former exponents of such a demanding sport. "Wrestling is huge around the world and now is the time to tap into that support," Cael Sanderson, a gold medalist at the 2004 Games, told Yahoo! Sports. "Hopefully it is not the end." The United States has won 125 wrestling medals in its Olympic history, including 50 golds.
