I watched a U of Maryland wrestling match on TV tonight. Instead of the traditional singlet, the UM wrestlers wore T-shirts and loose fitting shorts!
Apparently a lot of high school programs have been doing this lately but this is the first year it's been allowed in the NCAA. Maryland is currently the only Division I team that subscribes to this abomination.
It seems to be the work of their new head coach, Alex Clemsen, who was quoted as saying it's "a more fan-friendly look". In other words, he's personally uncomfortable with singlets. Not surprisingly, he describes himself (first and foremost) on his Twitter feed as a "Follower of Christ", and his latest tweet refers to "the young men I am blessed to coach". Hmm, sounds like we got us a bona fide Puritan here.
"Fan friendly"???? Speak for yourself, prude! This is the worst thing to happen to sports since swimmers traded their Speedos for Jammers!
