I was sitting in the bleachers at my son's wrestling match, and struck up a conversation with this older gentleman, he was amazed that wrestling is still the only sport that is the same as it was 50 years ago, I asked him to explain what he was talking about. He told me that wrestling was the only sport that modern technology has not changed. He said that just the equipment has changed many sports into something totally different from what he remembers.
he said that his school didn't even have girls sports. he said that baseball and football are completely different games, just because of the modern tech.
we even discussed basketball, I brought up that I didn't think that its changed, he brought up that everyone wore chuck converse high tops, the old flat bottom, canvas, pain in the butt to get on and off shoes. He said that the teams uniform budget was less than a pair of nike's that the kids are waring now.
we had a good discussion about who the better athletes are, old school or new school
just wondering what some of you-all think
