sounds like a little league game being played at a varisty level. Surely they were just trying to show some humor in life...which has obviously been lost around here.

I'm all for humor - I just don't find comparing able bodied kids who play a game poorly to disabled kids humorous. I'm not 12 anymore. I also find it sad when people hide under the guise of humor when displaying poor taste and offending (intentionally or unintentionally) others.

While I generally like Peter and have great respect for Tee, the OP and the defense of it is simply stupid.

Isn't it great to live in a country where we all can have our own opinion without being called names.

Sad state of affairs.
