Love watching these games. Lots of bad asses competing, including…
28 in LA we’ll have the first US soccer team participating
Dude, not the place for this. Read the room.Trump made fun of him yet?
For soccer the fans stay silent so that the players can hear the ball. They of course go nuts on goals but otherwise it’s a silent game. It’s pretty wildDude, not the place for this. Read the room.
I’ve seen that. We have a blind hockey program here in Cincy. Still don’t know how they do it. We’re having a big adapted hockey festival next Spring (sled, blind, and special).For soccer the fans stay silent so that the players can hear the ball.

What Network?
That’s awesome. I guess the puck makes noise like soccer? The soccer guys were smart in making it more like indoor. Many years ago I coached special Olympics and they used to do it as outdoor games. The spatial part didn’t really work. This is a good game.I’ve seen that. We have a blind hockey program here in Cincy. Still don’t know how they do it.

He’s had his warning not to screw with your thread again.Dude, not the place for this. Read the room.
It’s been many years ago when I went to Charlotte with a client to visit a supplier. We played golf with one of the officers of the company. His dad who was blind joined us. One of the most amazing things I’ve ever witnessed. I believe his dad is still golfing.I’ve seen that. We have a blind hockey program here in Cincy. Still don’t know how they do it.

Yes. That’s what my son plays. They tried to recruit him for special hockey but he did not want to play standup.That’s awesome. I guess the puck makes noise like soccer?

That hockey festival will be awesome. Sled is your jam isn’t it?
Peacock. Not sure what NBC and their other channels will be showing.What Network?

Very cool re the puck. Same drill as soccer. Paralympics blind put up walls like indoor and that helped immensely. Special Olympics 11 v 11 to be honest was pretty awful and the players really didn’t enjoy it all that much.Puck is bigger and makes noise in blind hockey.
My son played soccer years ago and he wasn’t a fan (Top Soccer). They played on a small field with popup goals. Yet, he loves going to watch soccer. We’re going Saturday to watch FC Cincinnati v Montreal.
Yeah that’s super fast. Cool stuffYes. That’s what my son plays. They tried to recruit him for special hockey but he did not want to play standup.
USA has Murder Ball (aka wheelchair rugby) on this morning. Looks like USA has events on all day.Peacock. Not sure what NBC and their other channels will be showing.
I’ll have to check that out! Wheelchair soccer sucks. Push with the massive ball and power. It’s the opposite of sled hockey which is fast and exciting and flowing. There has to be a way to make it betterUSA has Murder Ball (aka wheelchair rugby) on this morning. Looks like USA has events on all day.
USA is showing events all day as well.For people without Peacock, you can also watch this streams on YouTube.
Do they have extra forearm guards to protect against the blades? Their hands and arms are so much closer to the blades that I have to think there's an increased risk there, especially given how fast and physical the game is.
I'm exhausted just watching that point. The amount of effort and heart in that is awesome.They would smash everyone on this board and it wouldn't be close.
There is a great South Park episode about that. Cartman participates in the special Olympics thinking he will beat everyone and ends up getting his ass kicked in every event.They would smash everyone on this board and it wouldn't be close.
are you all fckd up watching little people play badminton??? I have a buddy (D1 soccer player) whose little b is a little p. Guy was an incredible physical specimen. He used to get drunk at parties and could kick himself in the head with both feet!! Low heavy center of gravity. Hockey soccer tennis. Was greatThere is a great South Park episode about that.

You do realize that the Paralympics and Special Olympics are two completely different things, right?There is a great South Park episode about that. Cartman participates in the special Olympics thinking he will beat everyone and ends up getting his ass kicked in every event.
Yes it's just sort of similar to that SP premise. Guys here thinking they could win anything at the paralympics.You do realize that the Paralympics and Special Olympics are two completely different things, right?
