"Maybe the reason he shared that information with you is because his daughter's gymnastics are Special Olympics gymnastics and he's seeking sympathy from you."

I have three daughters who are each active in various interests and who keep me quite busy running a shuttle bus from one activity to another. If any one of them were in Special Olympics Gymnastics, I would be as much of a cheerleader for these events as any other. The comment about "seeking sympathy" is bigotedly insulting toward persons with disabilities. Sympathy is the last thing people want or need when advocating for their freinds and relatives who struggle with disabilities. I am sure that comment was disheartening for any of the persons who post here and have relatives with disabilities. From what I can gather it is a fairly common trait among our colleagues here.

I am disappointed in you for making such a thoughtless crack Chris.
