lol at people in here acting like "the letter must be earned". It's a fricking HS varsity letter, not some prestigious rhodes-scholarship type honor.
If it makes the kid happy to wear it, then so be it, let him have his moment.
The people against something like this are probably the peaked in HS guys who still talk about their high school sport playing days.

Exactly. Any retard (see what i did there) can get one, typically. Why they decided to pick on this kid is beyond me.

I'm sure he has a jacket, and IMO, the kid was probably more than happy just with that..
..looks like mom wanted to give him a participation trophy.
...and this story is only a story due to the kid having Down's syndrome. If it was the 15th player sitting on the bench who never played because he sucked, the OT would be on the side of the school.

Exactly this. Taking the letter away from a kid with Downs is just cruel.

Perfectly said...although for some people, that's was their peak so they have to protect it like they won a gold medal

My HS gave them out for academics too...
At the awards ceremony each year, they'd hand out 300-400 letters for a school of 1100 kids.

Is this similar to stolen valor?

Typical mellinial answer. Everybody gets a trophy!
This is on the mother. She should not have just bought it and put it on his jacket. You may say it's no big deal, but it's a big deal to the students who actually earned it. I feel for the kid I really do. However, the mom is a shitty parent for not approaching this in the correct manner, meaning talk to the school. Also, if she did talk to the school and they told her no, she is an even worse parent.

Nailed it.
My brother has a varsity letter jacket and he tells me that it's nothing more than a jacket in his closet that's a very nice memory of good times when he was a teenager but really doesn't mean much now at this point in his life.
To this special needs kid, it's going to be one of the biggest achievements in life for him and he'll treasure the frick out of it. You're an a-hole if you want to take that away from him.
