This is our 200th show anniversary and we couldn't do anything more special than this. It is happening again! A McBryde sister is being denied an opportunity she rightfully earned. Jamilah McBryde, the oldest of the three McBryde Sisters who wrestle, is the reigning 143lb Women’s Freestyle NAIA National Champion. With that amazing accomplishment comes the opportunity to compete for a spot on the US Women’s Olympic Wrestling team. If allowed to attend the Olympic Qualifiers, Jamilah could be the first woman in the world to compete as a wrestler at the Olympic level in hijab. However, Jamilah is being denied the right to compete, and a McBryde sister is once again being robbed of a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity - one that she fairly earned. I will have Jamilah her father and hopefully a UWW spokesperson on the show (I wouldn't hold your breath) If you want to help sign the petition below.
