Can you hear me now?

This is one of those deals that gets everyone hacked off, but can usually be addressed pretty easily and in a way that able-bodied people will dig, like cut-out curbs at intersections.

A little cc on a crawler could be kind of cool and would provide more info for everyone than the Jumbotron basics.

I'm also guessing the judge didn't just make this shite up but was just applying the law as written by Congress and signed by the President. The Skins are sacred in DC, and no one would want to mess with them unless they felt they didn't have an option.

Sorry I meant a blind man...was a wee bit tired last night.

So a deaf guy could have brought a tv that has CC ont it.

Where is he going to plug it in? How is he going to get past security? Hw big is the screen? How heavy is the TV? What if its an ESPN game and he has to hook up to cable?

Just like on the local news community businesses sponsor the CC on the air so the stations don't have to pay anything. I'm sure some local business would like to become "The Offical CC Provider of The Green Bay Packers."

I guess we shouldn't let deaf and blind people have the same enjoyment as others. Let's stick them in their own special places away from the rest of us. That's what use to happen to deaf and blind people. Some of the greatest musicians of our time have been blind. Luckily, we didn't put them away.

Once we don't let them enjoy the stadium what else are we going to take away?

You make it sound like the Redskins were actively preventing them from enjoying the stadium.

Have you ever taken a blind friend to a movie? If we were quiet like the movie theater asks my friend wouldn't have any clue what was going on!!

I'm sure putting CC on the Jumbotron wouldn't break the Redskins bank.

Of course not.

Why bother all the other people? Or are you just that special that you can be inconsiderate to everyone else?

Personally, I just wait till the movie comes out on DVD and then watch it in the comfort of our own home. My blind friend wouldn't have it any other way. She is an amazing gal, if you meet her at her house, you probably wouldn't even know she was blind. It is difficult to even call it a handicap.

Gee, let's lock all handicap people up and only let them out when its convinient for you and me or when we aren't around at all.

Dan I get what you are saying and I would have no problem nor should anyone with CC on the jumbo screen I do get that but the tone of the ruling seems to be they would have to do more. Its not like I am against wheel chair access or anything like that I just do not see why a whole organization has to change because of a small percentage of the population. I may come of like an ass and I am not trying to if it is a low cost alternative then its shouldnt be a problem, what I dont get however is why not just deal with the organization instead of suing them? Don't you think the skins would have done CC if that was all that was asked for instead of going to court over it?

Gee, lets make everything accessible to everybody because everybody deserves everything.

I have a friend who is clausterphobic. Won't go to games because there are too many people around. So, NFL teams should have several sections where there is only one seat. How about invalids who need to constantly be on dialysis machines? Lets have entire sections set up for people confined to their beds. And how about people who don't speak english, should they have 120 different announcers in case a Upik Eskimo shows up and doesn't understand English? Wait 5 minutes between each play so that each announcer has time to translate.

Where does it end?

I never said lock handicapped people up - they understand there are things they just can't do. It is not our responsibility to make things easy for everyone. If that sounds harsh, it is, but that is reality. I am all for helping the handicap, don't get me wrong. But the people who demand it are out of line. There is simply no way to accommodate everyone for everything. If that is a problem for you, just consider if you are the one who needs to draw the line. Who gets accommodated for the game? Blind? Deaf? Invalids? Where?

maybe the jumbotrons should have a sign language lady on it so the deaf people know whats going on
