Next: Ugly people sue to demand equal access to TV airtime.
Heck, I can probably drink Brian Griese under the table, why didn't I get to take over for Elway?
It was all in the name. I think I am going to change me name to Ragu or Tattoo or something like that. Then I could get on one of those pro soccer teams.
A disabled person could've been involved with the planning of the customer services being offered, could they not?
They could have been involved with the shopping for new interior decorations, could they not?
They could have been involved with the budgeting and/or purchasing decisions.
Just because they couldn't heave a toilet over the railing into a dumpster doesn't mean there weren't any jobs on that episode they couldn't have done.
No, they signed Jake Plummer instead who plays only slightly better. They should have given you a shot, man.
By coincidence, there's another thread today that does cut in the other direction - apparently a women's pro golf tour is giving transsexuals the right to compete, which seems almost-if-not-quite as unfair as normal people being allowed to compete in the Special Olympics.
Oh brother...IT'S THEIR SHOW!! This genious should sue all the active reality shows...like Fear Factor...Survivor, American Idol. All the same. Life's not fair mister.
The Denver Broncoes did not offer me a contract, but I can run and throw a ball. It's discrimination.....

That's a big plummer.
And last Halloween I dressed up as a quarterback too. I spent a long time taping all that money on (I didn't run out of change for the car wash for months after).

Sure but could they actually go to the job site to follow through to see the out come, etc. I think not, not without special accommodations and in a race to be first to complete a task a disabled person would only slow things down, sorry, but handicapped people are limited. I want to go into space but I can't. Sometimes it's just best to accept your limitations.
ADA = REASONABLE accomodation
I think the suit is frivolous and opportunistic envy to punish healthy participants. Who would carry the handicapper's water on the intense projects Trump expects or do they really want to subject themselves to rejection?
Hey, being right-handed, I'd never try to throw the ball with my left hand. That puts me ahead of Jake. ;)
Where are the fat girls on Trump?
He should watch situation comedies then. It's a staple of situation comedies to have a male neighbor/brother/family member with the IQ of a guppy - if he isn't the male lead of the show. Bob Newhart's shows were so weak he always had to have *two* morons to play off of.
Sure. You don't have to participate in a DUI car crash to comment upon them. You don't have to participate in a battle in Iraq to support our troops. And you don't have to watch trash on TV to comment upon the programs.
So when some gimp with kidney failure croaks under the stress of participating in the show they won't sue for wrongful death?
Yeah, right.
If a guy in a wheelchair is "just the same as everyone else" then he can get his a$$ out of the chair and go get me a beer.
Oh, but that's right, he's NOT like everyone else.
Typical liberals.
Nah, but he only seems to hire white males. Judging by the winners of the first two seasons and the people who come out of the shadows occasionally as Trump's upper management, they are *all* white males, other than Carolyn - and who knows what she really does other than the show?
If Trump were a Republican, he'd have Jesse Jackass and the other race-baiters breathing down his neck by now.
And, BTW, how tough is their screening process if they still let Verna on the shows who was walking off by the second week?
When the new series, "The Whiners" begins, Schottel should have no problem qualifying.
38 years ago, under the scrub-pines at Tigerland, a Drill Sergeant spoke an unkind word to me. America, you OWE me an amends!
