It is mainly for a feel good gesture for the people holding the press conference.

I'd say they'd have it pretty damn hard if people like you decided to do away totally with sign language.

Down vote. If you have hearing, how the F could that annoy you, unless of course you are a gigantic douche.

Unless you're fricking deaf.

Closed captioning is the ideal - because not all people who are hard of hearing understand sign language - but the fact of the matter is that CC isn't always available, particularly at press conferences.

General rule of thumb: don't shite on the accommodations made for people with legitimate physical disabilities. Does the wheelchair ramp at Home Depot piss you off too?

If that bothers you, you're a POS and you should probably crawl in the nearest hole. Never crawl out.

And yet we can watch a press conference on a muted TV in a restaurant and get 90% of the info without difficulty, if nothing else from news posts on the screen.

This signing is done mainly so the people at the press conference can feel good about themselves.
