India has many shameful episodes to atone for and as horrible as it is. This is but a small one. I doubt the manipulative self serving scumbags will ever have the requisite shame. The Wrestlers have shown incredible poise and fortitude throughout all this. They've stood for what's right. In a similar way to the earlier Farmer protests. This is in stark contrast to the Indian Cricketers who are firmly in the pocket of the Indian government.

In India. It is those that make the sacrifice that suffer. You only really succeed if you toe the line.

Vinesh Phogat will be competing in a medal match today. She had been one of the chief protesters. When prominent Indian wrestlers took a stand against the then head of the Indian Wrestling body.

It seems a possible Gold medal and a massive shot in the arm for the cause has been taken away from Vinesh Phogat.

She's been found to be 100g over weight. And subsequently disqualified.

What the fuck goes on in Mark Henry's head?

 

Someone said it the comments you shouldn’t take things out of context for a headline as it isn’t fair. So here is the whole comment and the context makes it worse
