I’m not sure how you can judge a groups intelligence from a photo. I do however think we can all see you are a freaking idiot by the words you post.

Ummm, the lack of masks is obvious. I believe that's what he's referring to.

 

[lookleft goright]

I would guess that everyone who comes into the Oval office is tested for COVID. The lack of masks is probably not due to a lack of intelligence.

No he isn't. Please check his other posts on Gable and then put the loser on ignore.

no question who is dumb, to come on this forum and post that, leaves no room for doubt.

Good for Coach Gable, a truly well deserved honor for him.

 

[MSU158]

Wow, you want to go down a rabbit hole of hypocrisy, click on that tweet and read the responses. Some really classless people.

Yes, the entire family chose not to wear masks. However, the way they are judged as a people off of that choice is ridiculous. Social media, and really the media in general, has destroyed personal accountability.

Now, everyone can be BETTER than everyone else by clicking on keys, without actually looking in the mirror when they click on those keys.REALLY, REALLY sad.

Never underestimate the level of incompetence in that building.

Politics aside.....

It was nice to see Trump was sincere in his appreciation of Dan Gable. Congratulations Dan Gable and the whole Gable family!!

 

[Centuar94]

Congratulations to Mr Gable. He was a great role model for every wrestling kid in the country. When my brother and I would move the coffee table in the living room it was time to wrestle. The winner would always say that’s how Gable did it.

 

[Chips28]

Dan freaking Gable receiving the Medal of freedom and the posts on the Iowa wrestling board are about masks and some fake news Twitter crap? Rex Chapman is a twat

 

[Chips28]

Dan Gable has more integrity in his pinkey finger than all these Covidiots put together

 

[ThisHawks4u]

The lack of Iowa media coverage was also concerning. No offense to Goodwin but you would think Doch, Chad L, Hlas, Emmert would have had some coverage on Gable’s prestigious award. But nope, just Doch whining like a b*tch because the UofI university media was pimping a Luka Garza/Jim Rome interview.

Why - because some of them may disagree with you politically? I could say you must support sex trafficking and pedophilia because you oppose this president and support another. Leave it alone and just congratulate the family.

I thought this picture was funny, mainly because I have kids, and we have all been there

 

[wamachie]

That picture is classic! Will be a family heirloom for sure.

Not true. He shook Gable's hand and thanked everyone before exiting. Clip edited that part out of beginning. Let's leave this as a good news story about Gable and wrestling.

BTW I am a democrat.

I just saw the unedited part. Not much better. You don't just stroll out of the place like you're better than the person you're supposed to be honoring. Don used him and the announcement of the awarding of the medal as a PR stunt at a political rally in a swing state. Now that he's lost, he couldn't get out of there fast enough. Big waste of his golf, TV, and Twitter tantrum time.

Of course this was a political move. Still, I believe Gable deserved the honor and I hold him in the highest regard. Sure, we could make points like why did Trump give such a prestigious medal to mostly athletes? Especially ones like Tiger Woods when it is to recognize "individuals who have made exceptional contributions to the security or national interests of America, to world peace, or to cultural or other significant public or private endeavors." Or why were 17/18 recipients men?

Politics will always be politics. But we should leave the spotlight on Dan Gable as this is something of a win for our sport, right? Or do you feel like politics made this an undeserved honor?

I just wished it had been done differently and much earlier. The way he was used has tarnished the meaning of the medal and the greatness of the man.

Only in your hatefilled eyes.

 

[anon_0pi0cv8t1ggvb]

"He won 117 consecutive matches and lost only one. Well, you know, in politics, I won two, so I'm 2-0, and that's pretty good too. But we'll see how that turns out"

Donald Trump never fails to make everything about Donald Trump.

What? Get out of here!

Only in your hatefilled eyes.

Actually, if you get out of your bubble, its that way for a great many people. And don't project your hatred of others onto me.

Hypocrisy much?

Menace, aptly named, You have made hateful posts for months. And, I don't live in a bubble nor do I hate anyone, even you.

Sure. “Hateful”.

Arnie Robinson Jr. Olympic Gold, one of the greatest, has died. Olympic teammate Gable 1972. COVID-19. Makes you wonder. "Surely goodness and mercy shall...". RIP Arnie.

You obviously do or you wouldn't have made the smart ass comment that you did.

^ Speaking of hate-filled. Please don’t try and kidnap, shoot, or threaten anyone’s life because your cult leader lost. Seems to be happening a lot with the emotionally fragile American far right. I’m praying for you and our country to get into a lot healthier frame of mind soon.

Why - because some of them may disagree with you politically? I could say you must support sex trafficking and pedophilia because you oppose this president and support another.

LOL! Easily one of the most delusional comments I’ve ever seen about this guy 😆...

“Kind says Trump "would walk right in on" naked Teen Miss USA contestants in their dressing room.

Four contestants in the 1997 pageant told BuzzFeed that Trump walked in on them and other contestants while they were changing clothes and made no attempt to leave.”
