First, a heartfelt wish that everyone's holiday season is safe, healthy and happy.

During their end-of-term conversations and emails with me I asked my four grand-nephews in Pretoria why wrestling wasn't offered as a sport in South African high schools. None of them knew why, but the general opinion was that wrestling, at least "American" high school wrestling just never caught on. Not only in South Africa but in any British Commonwealth country.

It's odd that wrestling is so popular in the United States, and virtually unknown in the former British colonial empire.

Any thoughts on this?
