women in sports

Over the weekend as many of you know we had a state wrestling tournament held in casper up at the events center. On friday when i was at work my boss told me that he had read in the paper that there was a Female wrestler in the state tournament and there was a male wrestler that said he REFUSED to wrestle a female because he was raised to not treat women like that and it was against his morals. So he would not wrestle her... My question is was this hurting or helping her by refusing to wrestle her. was he scared of loosing to a girl? or did he truly believe that it was inappropriate and against his morals to do so? In my opinion she was the one that is choosing to compete in a man denominated sport so it's okay treat her equal. I am shore that she would not be wrestling if she didn't think that she could compete at a males level! more power to her!
