I like that they are accomodating disabled people more and more and this is brilliant that they are creating more opportunities for team work and sports for them. I mean sports is fun as hell not just a professional business. At university there were two disabled guys in my first year, they had helpers to make sure note were taken and classes were attended, what I didn't know was that they had been through the same year of university FIVE TIMES in a row and never managed to pass and I think there's a time to draw the line and just get them the hell out, that was essentially eight places on that course taken up by two guys who shouldn't have been there., the first year fine, gotta evaluate them to start with so instead of ten its eight places. Moral of the story: Don't try to treat them as equals just because you don't want to upset anyone.- Please wait. Quick reply will be available shortly.

The article in the op specifically mentions how one of Obama's special advisers was partially blind during high school so the school made it so that everyone wrestling had to touch each other at all times so that he would not be disadvantaged. If this man gets what he wants then there will just be more changes like that that effect everyone. Sports will be remade in attempt to remove any competitive advantages or disadvantages that anyone in a given group might have.
The reality is that there are simply not enough physically handicapped people who are interested in athletics to create teams for traditional sports for the disabled in most places. That means that if they are going to participate in traditional sports they must be on the same team as the nondisabled. We should end public education and all of these kinds of programs and let people organize on their own and form their own sports teams and make them however they want. The government shouldn't be controlling how children engage in sports.

Okay then. As long as there's no quotas, it's fine. Title IX was alright but the quotas ruined it for some sports that were male-dominated with no or barely any female interest.
