‘Midget Wrestling’ Causing a Stir

I’ve presented the new sport of midgets in MMA previously on the site. I’ve also relayed the chronicles of the Dwarf Games held in Seattle over the summer, in case you missed it. But one new, cutting edge sport to which I was not previously privy, is “midget wrestling.” An LBS insider informs me that certain universities have frowned upon campus organizations hosting such events recently. After taking a look at the event in question, I can’t understand why …

What do these esteemed universities have against this display? How is it any dumber or cheesier than what you see in WWE? Would you not be laughing at these guys for the same exact reason you would laugh at Rick Flair? Because they have ridiculous personalities and exceedingly exaggerated fake combat? I didn’t see anyone complaining when Nacho Libre was getting his ass kicked by those tag-team little men. What’s the problem now? Aside from the terminology which can be offensive (the m-word), what’s the issue? How come I’m missing out on all the fuss?
