I started this thread and now after all this I am sorry that I did. I cannot believe how this has denigrated to the name calling situation it is in. Bushref your attempt at humor is disgusting. That reply and image is the most obnoxious statement I have ever read. I have volunteered to be a SO coach for the last 15 years and it is the most rewarding experience I have ever had. I coach track & field and long distance running and these athletes (and yes they are athletes) have more heart and demonstrate more dedication than any "normal" athlete I have ever been involved with. I have officiated 3 western finals in football and 1 state final and if I had to choose between Special Olympics and football, it would be a very easy decision. The SO experience if you would ever open your closed mind is one that you treasure for the rest of your life.
