the people in this thread who never earned one and are regretful that they were born without any athletic ability?
We already went over the point that they give them out for more than just athletics...
I would say keep up, but I'm guessing you lettered in football and not academics

Yeh both sides fricked up. But the people in here that simply want to throw the cookie to the "retarded" kid piss me off more. That is more degrading to me than anything
I understand you find it degrading in the sense that he has a better ability to understand the context of his situation than many give him credit for, and we shouldn't just hand things out to all special needs kids because they are special needs.
I agree with that, it makes sense.
But his own mother was the one who gave him the letter, and I'd imagine she knows what is actually best for her own son.
Don't put all special needs kids into the same box. Unless you think his own mother is degrading him and you know better than she?

I literally became eligible for a letterman jacket for playing clarinet in band.
I didn't get it for achieving anything in band. I got it because I...... Wait for it.... Participated.
Letters are participation awards that only shitty athletes care about. The athletes who go on to play college ball certainly don't give a shite. It's just those guys who barely made the cut line, and consider it an accomplishment in life.

He is entering a world of pain. My buddies didn't die face-down in the mud at two-a-days, just so some 'tard can steal our varsity status! Doesn't anyone but me care about the fricking rules?!?!?!

It is hard, but the parents have to allow them to feel sadness and loss and failure, in order for them to grow. I maybe completely wrong about this mother and I hope I am

I'm spiteful as shite. If I had a kid and an adult authority figure who is supposed to be a positive influence on him was a prick to that child...I'd ruin them

I'm wondering if there is more to the story than this...
..like the mom asking the coaches/school about giving him a letter and the being told no because it'll open up pandoras box with other kids expecting letters without earning them.
...and then she went out and bought him one, anyway. And now she's screaming to the hills about it, which was probably her plan all along.
