Elite Athletes with a "Disability"

AND he kept repeating that the guy SUFFERED from dwarfism.

I thought it was a bit strange.
You'd sure suffer if he got his hands on you. I reckon he could tie me into a knot and throw me across a room!

I wouldn't say he suffered from dwarfism in case he took offence to it, and frankly when he is lifting weight he is just an elite athlete to me.

Got a thoeory for all of u out there.

Worked in intellectuall disability for 12 years and the term "disability" gives me the right royal sh@@@. These folks are all "abled" just not the same as us so............

if we have to label them, then why not "dif-abled as they are simply differently abled than u or I

thus ends my sermon for the day

and no replies on the spelling please

the ones who have the real disabilities in the disability field is usually the senior management

I reckon turbomouth Eastlake is the most disabled of the lot :mad:

Why do they have to employ that idiot? He's ruined one of the events I enjoy most

Miss 12 swanned in when Martin was collecting his gong, she said she thought he looked like Shrek

Does that count as a disability, liability or what?
