High school wrestler forfeits state tournament immediately when he sees who opponent is

 

There’s always a large degree of respect to be earned for sticking by your beliefs or sacrificing something in the name of your faith.

Brendan Johnston, a former high school wrestler from Colorado, knows all about that. Back in 2018, he reportedly forfeited no less than two state tournament matches that were supposed to take place against girls.

In doing so, he effectively ended his high school career in the sport, citing his religious and personal beliefs as his reason for refusing to accept the matches.

The subject of pitting adult male versus adult female in physical competition is one that’s perhaps discussed more often these days than ever before.
