Mano y Mano

I don’t follow wrestling but after reading “Wrestle Mania," published in Sports Ilustrated, I almost think I should.  This is not a feel good sport where “everybody plays.” The story focuses on Iowans who seem to excel in this grappling, individual undertaking.  I loved this comment from the article.

"Why does wrestling have such a grip on Iowans? “Because we’re good at it!” says Andy Grove, a sportswriter and former high school wrestler. “Most eighth-place winners in this tournament would probably win in, say, Michigan, but they’d prefer to get eighth here."

Now that’s a positive attitude.
