Free Touchdowns for Fragile-X Footballers
From Instapundit -
check it out. All must have
prizes, of course...
I don't know - maybe I just have a cold heart -but does an achievement mean
anything if it's given to someone on a silver platter? I suppose one could counter this with the fact that the smart or the athletic or the hard-working wouldn't be successful without their genetics...but still, this just seems stupid to me. Oh well.
Update:
Note - I'm not
upset at this. I'm not *mad* that this happened...I just think it's kind of dumb. I mean, this kid is "playing" football w/o contact? with free touchdowns? It's just an elaborate lie, in my opinion...but heck, if it makes people feel good, I don't really have a *problem* with it. Make believe has a way of making people feel good...sorta like religion, I suppose. To each their own...
