Was CBS Incorrect To Call A Player "Down Syndrome Baller"?

By Andrew Thomas


CBS has published this video beneath, released on Youtube using a brief write-up, titled - Should Disability Baller Have Gotten SpecialTreatment? The write-up quoted few only damaging comments from Youtube, out of virtually 41,000 views, which have accumulated in just couple of days. These comments created generally the whole write-up using a question in the end: "was it incorrect to give him a break?" No writer's name, behind this short article was pointed out either. Lets teach CBS To be Respectful - It really is "A Basketball player With Down Syndrome"

This really is a great example of bad journalism. 1st, CBS let me ask you, a query. What is a "Down Syndrome Baller"? How about a basketball player with Down syndrome? Why is CBS attempting to define this boy by his chromosomal condition. Are we not attempting to get away from labeling persons in a unfavorable way? I wonder what would happen if CBS started defining persons be their behavior, by their appearance, from the country of origin, by their height, their culture, and so forth. I don't need to go on. You realize, what I am attempting to say. Down Syndrome Education is Needed - Starting With CBS

Why, giving a great deal of coverage to the handful of unfavorable comments from uninformed teenagers? Wasn't this a good opportunity to suit your needs CBS to explain what Down syndrome is, what challenges the men and women with Down syndrome need to face?

Just to get to this moment of being a a part of the game on a basketball court with other players, and scoring a 3 points basket on top of that, Is Amazing! A Display Of An incredible Learning Abilities of the Game

Does it matter what the score was? Does it matter if Scotty "traveled"? Or stepped on the line? Or that the defense gave him a "break"? No, of course Not. It essentially shows, how supportive both teams, also the empire and the coaches were! It in fact shows Scotty's fantastic poise and shooting strategy. He absolutely put a fantastic work in learning the game.

When all of us come collectively like this, for another human being, human race is at its very best, no doubt about it. This brief video has provided me with a bigger thrill than the final playoffs game between the Celtics (winners) and the Lakers in 2008. I don't feel any other basketball game was as exiting as this one and we're talking, four seconds of play only beacause, Scotty Lubkeman entered the game with four seconds left of the game.

I hope you did like, what you've seen right here in this small clip. Please leave me your thoughts after watching this video. I was so uplifted and so moved by this short clip and so was the crowd! CBS apparently was not.
