That sort of mindless cruelty against the disabled — all in the name of a misguided “universal fairness” and a sorry burping of “the spirit of competition” slogan — is disgusting and unnerving, and we all need to support the Oscars and the Marlees of the world who must not only fight against their own disability, but go to war every day against the misguided intentions of a condescending world unfairly set against them.

Try having a blind racing driver....I'm sorry, but when it comes to competition, its what yah got. They have special Olympics for people with disabilities btw. One of my friends with a disorder competes in them.
That said, I think they are opening a can of worms here.
