Technological aids

By Tangotiger, 12:07 PM

If an able-bodied person wants to take a chance and become Steve Austin (Lee Majors), that’s his right. That someone was forced to go that route, doesn’t change the fact that he’s human and therefore qualifies. You can put in a rule to ban certain drugs, because those drugs are not required to function as a human being. The same cr-p occurred in golf a few years ago, when someone wanted to use a cart because of a physical condition. They even had Jack Nicklaus testifying against him.

This is like Magneto turning his back on Mystique. Or Jordi not qualifying for the Academy because of his visor. (Apologies for all the pop culture references.)

If it so happens that in 50 years that the 8 qualifies for the 100m finals in the Olympics all have prosthetics, so be it. Some group can come up with the non-ParaOlympics as a consolation. Now you know how women feel.

(Hat tip: Sabernomics.)
