[] [] ** CONS ** [] [] [] [] http://debatenirvana.com/topicview.php?topicid=25 My Thesis statement :  //Wrestling is the oldest sport in the Olympics, it is an equal sport, and the rules and scoring has been changed for fans to better understand.// My Paper: In Feburary of 2013, the wrestling committee shocked the world by voting to drop it from the Olympics. This really didn't make sense to me. Wrestling is one of the olderst sports in the Olympics, it is and equal sport, and rules and scoing has been changed for people to better understand it. Wrestling is the oldest sport in the Olympics so would it even be the same without it? NO WAY! I get that change has to be made as time goes by, but this isn't the right way to go about it! It is an equal sport in more than one way. Winning in wrestling is up to the wrestler. There is no luck, chance, or fate in this sport. It is also equal as in a man and woman sport. Both genders are able to compete in this sport and one change made was they added more women classes to be even and fair. Some people say that wrestling is not a popular sport because it is boring and hard to underswtand. This was another change made in the sport so people could better understand. Scoring and rules were changed. There are more things that weigh on this topic of why wrestling should stay. But thankfully so much support from around the world has helped saved wrestling and it is still in the Olympics!
 * Women weight classes have increased to keep the sport equal for gender.
 * Keeping wrestling in the Olympics helps the younger generation stay interested in it and something to strive for.
 * Some people do not feel wrestling is a main sport.
 * Wrestling is not a popular sport for fans as far as watching it neither in person nor on television.
 * Scoring and rules are hard to understand.
 * The Olympics are very expensive to produce, and wrestling does not bring in revenue.
 * Of all the sports in the Olympics, wrestling causes the most injuries.
