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

and nobody said that...

basically just "let him wear the fricking jacket, nobody fricking cares"

No. The mother didn't frick up. Girls wear their boyfriend's letter jackets. It's totally pointless, it means absolutely nothing to no one, including most athletes. I can't imagine the people who give a shite, real Al Bundy dumb jock trapped in their glory days of high school shite. Good fricking God.

I was a letterman btw, football and basketball

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?
