The resident's idea, as submitted
The idea
We should integrate more wrestling opportunities in Boston. Much of the youth wants something to spend their time doing and wrestling not only is great exercise, but it helps them strive to do hard things which will uplift the city as a whole.
Who it helps and why
Wrestling is a sport that anyone can do. Regardless of weight or race. Even people who are blind or deaf are capable of wrestling. And if people do hard things together such as wrestling, it builds strong bonds and builds bridges where there weren’t.
