To say she was "diminishing the accomplishments of others" is merely a perspective, and not in reality true. The accomplishment should be actually fricking playing, or knowing what it took to get there.
This is what the "sport participation trophy mentality" has created.

You're making a case to be awarded an honorary varsity letter right now.

Grades are completely different than a varsity letter for playing a sport. I don't see how this special needs kid getting a varsity letter will effect any of them to the point their lives are changed in a negative way at all. They're going to college for sports or else it's entirely dependent on academics, but either way grades will play a role, and the numbers on their grades will tell the story, just like their performance in their sport will determine if they play anymore after HS. The letter on a jacket is just a tradition, and it has no real bearing on later life.
