To play or not to play

[lmichelle599]

I'm not sure I agree with all the talk about including disabled students in regular sports. Now before y'all yell at me, let me make my point. I understand letting Down's Syndrome and develpmentally disabled people play basketball, but wanting to include people in wheelchairs with non-disabled athletes isn't the right thing. It's not really fair to either person. You can't adapt a game to meet someone's needs who has a certain disability. I have severe rheumatoid arthritis, so I can't play football. Of course, I never had a big desire to play any sport, even when I was a kid and wasn't as bad off as I am right now.

I understand wanting to give everyone a chance and not exclude certain groups of people, but sports can't be all inclusive to everyone.
