  • Just double checked and the chairman is indeed Jim “Gym” Jordan Sick fuck

    Jordan was an assistant coach with Ohio State University’s wrestling program from 1987 to 1995.

    Richard Strauss was the wrestling team physician during Jordan’s tenure. Strauss died by suicide in 2005. In April 2018, Ohio State University began an independent investigation into allegations of sexual misconduct by Strauss. Of the 177, 153 were student-athletes, of which a plurality (48) were members of the men’s wrestling team.: 43

    Several involved persons have stated that Jordan surely knew of Strauss’s criminal misconduct but did not report it. Other wrestlers and Head Coach Russ Hellickson said he may not have known about the abuse. A spokesperson for Jordan denied the allegation, saying that “chairman Jordan never saw or heard of any abuse, and if he had, he would have dealt with it”. No wrestlers have accused Jordan himself of sexual misconduct, but four former wrestlers named him as a defendant in a lawsuit against the university.Jordan has denied any wrongdoing and has described his accusers as “pawns in a political plot”.

  • Somewhere I saw a documentary where the historian was walking through the place as she explained its history and construction. With context removed, it sounded like and appeared she was in a cathedral. Roman civil engineering never ceases to impress and amaze me.
    When I was a kid, my uneducated, Italian immigrant uncles started 2 separate construction companies doing what they knew: one specialized in masonry and the other in concrete construction work. Both had municipal contracts and were very prosperous. They died before I was old enough to learn their methods, ask questions and listen to their stories. Seeing places like this makes me wonder how much of it was handed down over the centuries and I am sad that it has been forgotten in my lifetime. Thanks for the share!
