I know what you're saying, but there is a big difference between being deaf and being mentally retarded. I find it amazing that the coach even let this kid practice with the team, let alone dress for games. Most coaches I've dealt with wouldn't have wanted the hassle.

It's very different because we're talking one handicapped player on a team versus a whole team that is deaf.

And there is a big difference between cutthroat competitiveness and honor. No, the Waverly team didn't show much honest competitiveness, letting the retarded senior score. But they showed one hell of a lot of honor in what they did. Not to mention grace, nobility, and even love toward Jake Porter; all the things that make our Judeo-Christian value system, and our country, great.
