Irish Lurcher 1,013 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 Folks There is huge debate among Irish viewers to a local radio here in Dublin regarding the staging of the Paralympics. Whats your views on this, should such an event get live TV coverage, and it is not abnormal to see a one legged man swimming, that’s just some points that was put across today on the show.

scent 509 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 i feel they deserve the coverage why not sure ,what would be on the tele instead.Surely the competitors familys and friends deserve to watch their athletes.Fook me the olympics were on not so long ago and was shown on nearly every single channell .Thats just my honest opinion Quote Link to post Share on other sites

BlueCoyote 0 Posted September 11, 2008 Report Share Posted September 11, 2008 are they worried about being offended or offending someone!? if these people participating dont want to be recognised on tv for what they're doing then i hardly doubt they would sign up for something like this. as for someone being offended by watching a one legged man swim or race a wheel chair then they can change the channel on their tv set couldnt they?
