Don’t be sad about the so-called “closing ceremony,” the Olympics continue on!

Who else is excited?

I am not. The issue is that the athletes have varying disabilities, which is reality, but then nothing we see feels like a competition, seems like a lot of participation trophies are handed out.

Don't care if:
You think I am a bad person, should be canceled, should be ashamed of myself, not able to critique athletic events because I am not one, don't care that the athletes enjoy themselves and the vibes are good. You have no ability to shame me.

Are you sure you're not mixing up the special Olympics with the Paralympics?

Oh one more, do not care if "everyone" (everyone in your friend group, the Gen Z masses on social media, non boomers, etc) disagrees. I am not a collectivist

Have you seen sitting volleyball? I feel like you confusing the Paralympics with the special Olympics.

*I know about the rampant cheating in the Paralympics but I don't tell my children about it.

Boxing?

So if someone merely identifies as physically disabled, you believe they should be allowed to compete in the paralympics without question ?
