No one, they should be given other outlets to self realization, rather than this kind of circus. They could try skiing or any other kind of paralympic sport which doesn't dehumanize them.

Wrestling is dehumanizing? How so? I know a handful of people who love practicing and competing.

Shouldn't they be allowed to choose how they self-realize rather than other people "giving them outlets to self-realization?"

I think this is a really good point. However, I think that the point is: If given other non-pain inducing, positive "self-realization" opportunities how many of these people would choose to wrestle instead of pursuing other opportunities? Perhaps some would still choose to wrestle, but certainly many others would choose other outlets if they existed.
