it's a hs varsity letter you stupid loser. the retards probably had to do more to earn it than you did (let me guess, wrestling) just by having to deal with jackholes like you in high school.
you really are a terrible person. i hope you end up with a retarded kid.
Maybe I misread, but was it clear that the mom went to the news station?
I nominate this post. What a fucking joke. I can't help but notice the similarities between gay marriages destroying traditional marriage and this kids letterman jacket destroying the sanctity of real varsity letters. If my fat ass could earn a varsity letter for wrestling than this kid should be the fucking starting PG at his high school and get all the pussy that entails.Giving them a varsity letter for the sake of being retarded is definitely a dumb idea, and that was what was implied with the question that I highlighted from the article.
Earning a letter meant something to me in HS. I worked my ass off for it, and was a 3 year letterman in one sport and 1 year in another. We also had kids walking around with letters for band or for JROTC things-- basically nonathletic endeavors. It wasn't a big deal to us, as there was kind of an unspoken understanding that athletic letters were "real" and all that other wimpy shit wasn't. One would think that in this case, everybody with a letter in that HS knew that the kid didn't really earn the letter. As PhillyDeac said, there was probably some embarrassment from the kids that this issue even popped up, unless the kid was just a jackass like his parent(s).
She sat down for a TV interview and reached out to the district AD and now wants a district-wide policy to give letters to the special needs kids.
You're making a really shitty assumption that the mom wants all special needs kids to get letters simply for being special needs. Her kid plays extracurricular basketball, so she thought it would be nice to get him a letter.
I think her request was to allow special needs kids to EARN varsity letters, I'm sure by being managers or equipment helpers, or whatever, and allowing them to "earn" the letter like you did when you played.
Because she apparently went online and bought the shit without giving consideration to the fact that such things are earned. I figure the kid expressed some interest in a letter jacket and she wanted to appease him. I get that. Apparently it was easier to spend the money and order online than it was to blow off the kid's wish/request.
If the jacket doesn't mean anything then why is it such a big deal?
The jacket clearly means something and her son earned it by his participation in extracurricular activities.
