It's always been a funny joke between some of my buddies. A lot of douchebag parents, so we always make a point of saying it to not fall in that category lol.
Jax Forrest upset in PIAA Regional final

You can call it whatever silly name you want. For F sake let it go. It's your thing - I get it.
Can’t wait to see Mars and Mercury compete at Worlds next year
I hope David Taylor wins at Olympic
I hope Aaron Brooks wins at National
States is short for State Championships
Nationals is short for National Championships
Olympics is short for Olympic Championships
Same for secions, districts and regionals

I find it a bit odd that PSU fans feel the need to come to this Board, an Iowa Board in the States 
of Iowa to try and justify their term and why it is used. I'll go sit on my davenport now and maybe get a drink of water from the bubbler and have some raw dawg (northeast Iowa thing) and crackers.

Yes, I am going to the D1 National Wrestling Tournament.
No, I will not be at the Olympic Games.
I really could care less if you agree with me or not.
In all honesty, the less I have in common with you the better...
It's all good man. Best of luck to your boys at Big Ten this weekend.
I like regional or regionals stuff. I got to ask what is a Raw dog. I am told I need to try a certain sandwich if I'm ever in Muscatine.I find it a bit odd that PSU fans feel the need to come to this Board, an Iowa Board in the States
I prefer Olympic wrestling but seeing kids compete for national titles is fun.
So, you should make sure to go to both and tell your friends and family that you are heading to National and Olympic!
Did he tell you or did you know that “birds aren’t real” is a website with merch that is a parody of conspiracy theories?
Birds Aren't Real | Birds Aren't Real
They used to be. Until the U.S. Government replaced them with drone replicas designed to spy on the American public. Founded in 1976.

Areyou referring to the Big Ten wrestling tournament?
No, he's headed to the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championship. My son wrestled for multiple State Titles, not States title. Iowa is one state. Pennsylvania is one state. Real simple unless Sandusky banged your head on the shower wall too hard.....
Yeah, when someone says what are you going to Kansas City for? Most people answer "The NCAA Wrestling Championship". You know that is stupid. They say I'm going to Nationals. It's really not that difficult. Nationals is short for National Championships. Olympics is short for Olympic games. States is short for State Championships.
I've been watching PA states all day today. Just the thought of saying I've been watching PA state has me laughing at myself.
Oh good Lord, it isn't really difficult.
Sectionals is short for Sectional Championships
Districts is short for District Championships
Regionals is short for Regional Championships
Nationals is short for National Championships
Olympics is short for Olympic Games
STATES IS SHORT FOR STATE CHAMPIONSHIPS!
You do realize that Pennsylvania wrestles a match every year that pits the best Senior from the state against a combination of the best Seniors from EVERY OTHER STATE. PA wins it sometimes. Our state has the most All Americans every single year. If we call it States, it's states.
Then you join the rest of us that are already laughing at you.
You're too late. They aren't the original recipe anymore. They were much better in the '70s and '80s. All my out-of-town friends and family members still have to get one when they come back to town though.
Wrong!!
There are numerous district tournaments so they are districts because there is more than one.
Same thing applies to other things you listed.
State wrestling tournament, there is only one state. We’d have to add South Dakota & Minnesota to the tournament to call it States.
so glad we're still doing this....
guys can't compete in multiple districts though...just like they can't compete in multiple states.
so on that weekend, do you say you or your son or daughter has "district"? if they do well, they won district?
winning districts means you won one district tournament.
I was happy to learn there is a runner's forum that debates these deep topics as well. If we grapple hard enough, maybe we can beat them to the official answer.

'States vs. State,' 'Region vs. Regions' The debate has been decided
It is "state," not "states." In the state championship, how many states are competing? Just 1. So therefore it is not states.Aditionally, we can say that i...

An individual competes at a district.
If they get first place, they are a district champ.
I do know that I will say "it is districts weekend" meaning more than one district tournament going on in the state.
Here in Ioway it’s called the State Tournament…not state tournaments or state championships. So we’ll stick to calling it State.
You guys are well-practiced in the arts of mental gymnastics. Not unexpected, given the Ferrari and Teske seeding threads.
"No, he's headed to the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championship." LOL, what a response!
"No, he's headed to the 2024 NCAA Wrestling Championship." LOL, what a response!
LOL - Nationals & Worlds ruins every argument they have. Since it's called State because it's one state, there must be more than one Nation competing at Nationals and more than one World competing at Worlds.
No, it most certainly does NOT. The host literally uses those words in the title. Please show me ANYWHERE the host uses "States". We will all wait patiently for you to provide such....
Editted to add: The more I look I am not even sure the host uses Worlds, which certainly doesn't help your argument. WIth that said, you can call it what you want. That isn't even the issue. Just don't act like it is the right way and/or the ONLY way...
