Nicholas James Pell writes about the “wrestling is racism” thing:

But in the final analysis, I think the problem writers and readers of The Atlantic have with professional wrestling is that it delights in its own lack of political correctness. The “Attitude Era” might be over, and with it the intensely bloody matches, women stripping each other out of bikinis, and not-so-thinly veiled double-entendres, but it’s still the sporting world’s answer to a trip to Hooters—only a couple steps removed from a hot dog eating contest.
