Wrestling or Football?
Wrestling and football are two very popular sports here at EMS, so we decided to ask students and staff if they prefer football or wrestling, and why they prefer one over the other.
According to Google and some other websites, wrestling is not the favorite sport in any of the 50 states; football is more popular in the U.S. Seventy-nine percent of U.S. adults who generally follow sports said they follow football.
