It doesn’t go far enough! When will we see handicapped or differently abled people in the NFL? They are so discriminatory. In fact, the whole thing is too dang speciest to me. They need to allow animals to play in the NFL (cue the picture of Vick being attacked by a dog).

Actually, Tom Dempsey did have a disability (deformed foot), and that enabled him to have the longest NFL field goal in history (shared today) of 63 yards when he played for the Saints.

The NFL has already had a handicapped player...Tom Dempsey kicked for the New Orleans Saints with half of his kicking foot...

He kicked a 63 yard FG for the Saints....An NFL record that has since been tied...

Derrick Coleman, he’s deaf. Signed with the Falcons this year. And the Broncos had a monkey riding a dog for TD celebrations for a while.
