Bulldog215 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 it is probably safe but i doubt u will find white tight with stirrups if u don't just pull them down half way down ur foot. thats what i do. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kentucky10 0 Report post Posted February 24, 2008 Wear kneepads and just wrestle.No joke. tights are gay, wear some tall wofo socks, throw some knee pads on , and get ready to battle, wrestling is not about looking good, its about who the better man is, putting white tights on isn't going to make u a better wrestler, how many Iowa wrestlers do u know that wear tights?

Danger 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Ridge45 got banned for a cerain word but I think i've heard "gay" used in a derogatory [sp?] way about 999,999x in this thread alone. I don't like tights either, but don't hassle the kid. He just asked for some info on Man-ties. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Bear 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 Wear kneepads and just wrestle.Kneepads could be the cause of staph. If you dont wash them everyday after practice they trap in bacteria, same goes with tights. I personally don't like tights but what ever floats your boat. I've wrestled so long that my knees have become used to the bruised, battered, and burning. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

grapplehed 8 Report post Posted February 25, 2008 and condoms prevent STD's. Wake up guys! Tights may retard the infection but it cannot prevent it. Material is too porous, start sweating and it could make things worse, particularly fungus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MatMama 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I always thought Caleb Wood, state champ from Fern Creek, looked intimidating in his black leggings with black singlet -- like a spider. He had the moves to back up the look when he was healthy. And, yes, the leggings do provide some protection, especially from causing wounds that can then become infected. If you don't want to wear them, then don't, but it's a fact that they protect your legs. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
littleevil 0 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 i believe bailey wore them too and i think he would prob beat any of the kids hating on tights or jerimah walls ur already wearing spandex plus its always good to look nice didnt your mammas ever teach anything Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
grappler-of-old 44 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 Wearing tights for protection is like using a stocking to filter water.It will filter some things out but very little. The only other usefullness would be causing your opponent to not be able to get a grip on your legs or allowing you to sprawl and slide across the mat out of bounds. I know of a wrestler who wore them just for this reason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

eaglewrestler12 2 Report post Posted February 26, 2008 I wear because I like being warm while I wrestle. I can't stand walking onto the mat feeling cold, and before i wore them I always had that feeling even after a good warmup Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
