Hearing-impaired fan sues University of Kentucky over lack of captioning at football games

A University of Kentucky football season ticket holder with a hearing impairment has gone to federal court to try to get UK to display captioning on the video boards and video monitors throughout Commonwealth Stadium.

Charles Mitchell of Lancaster says in a complaint filed Wednesday in U.S. District Court in Lexington that he cannot hear announcements on the stadium's public address system and that captioning can be displayed on the video boards and monitors.

He says UK, by not providing captioning, is violating the Americans With Disabilities Act of 1990. He notes in the complaint that UK receives funding from the federal government.

...

Mitchell wants captioning displayed for all announcements over the stadium's public address system, including all plays just after they occur, all penalties called, and safety and emergency information.

Now....I feel for anyone who is disabled, but really... really? Do we need to put our blind fans on the field so they can 'feel' where the players are running and what the play was? Do we need urinals in the stands so the drunks don't have to navigate to the restrooms and risk getting lost?

One of the comments on that article went so far as to joke about asking for concerts to post the lyrics for all the songs played, and cc any band comments during the show; and another blasted radio stations for not cc'ing their broadcasts ;) I wonder if they'll sue because the person in front of them won't sit down or be quiet enough to 'hear' what is going on. :|

Suing...because you can't hear? Really?
 
I can only see this for major announcements that need to be heard, such as emergencies. For other sounds, hearing them does not really seem necessary.
 
Heh, more buckeye hate ;)

And, in an 'unrelated' story...
Report: Ohio State faces more scrutiny
Ohio State's director of compliance is reviewing at least 50 car sales to Buckeyes athletes and relatives to see if they met NCAA rules, The Columbus Dispatch reported Saturday.

...

One car, a 2-year-old Chrysler 300 with fewer than 20,000 miles, was titled to then-sophomore defensive player Thaddeus Gibson in 2009. Documents show the purchase price as $0. Gibson said he did not know why the title showed a zero for the purchase price and said he was still paying for the car.

...

The mother and brother of Buckeyes quarterback Terrelle Pryor also purchased cars from the dealerships. Kniffin loaned his own car to Pryor for a three-day test drive to Pryor's home in Jeannette, Pa.

Kniffin and the owner of one of the dealerships he worked for, Jason Goss, have attended seven football games as guests of players, including the 2007 national championship game and the 2009 Fiesta Bowl.

Man, Shannon is gone for two fucking seconds and our players are back to raping bitches.


Fortunately the rapist is a nobody who probably wouldn't have played a down in his entire career.
 
I know that feel bro. there are no more moral, sportsmanship, and decency in high-caliber college and pro sports

everybody is having a gay old time joining in on the Jim Tressel bukkake, but I think it's a sign of the times

don't all NFL prospects get new cars in college? I thought that was standard protocol
 
I am not liking all the superpre-season hype surrounding my Sooners. Puts a big target on their back..as if teams needed any more incentive to try to beat us.

The team looks pretty good, and I think we have the talent in place to shore up losses in the secondary. Our linebackers will be a pleasure to watch next season. Offensively things are looking great, we have some great talent at RB that has been waiting for its chance. Boomer SOONER!

RIP Austin Box. Always hate seeing this.. he probably died from a painkiller OD. When this crap happens it always makes me appreciate places like bluelight which try to educate people about potential dangers that some people may have never considered.
 
Just wrote a long post, and the internets ate it...

The gist of it was that my Sooners look good, and I worry about the preseason hype. Secondary and RB are only two possible weak links. Both look to be filled with very talented new players. The linebackers and the offense will be a blast to watch. Boomer SOONER!!

RIP Austin Box. Probably died from painkiller OD :(. Makes me appreciate the education campaign of bluelight and like organizations. Factual information is powerful.

ok tlb-- which SEC East team will dash USC's best chances of an sec title in decades? My vote is for Tennessee.

UGA might catch them by surprise, being the 2nd game of the season. They have AU at home, so depends on how much 'rebuilding' AU is going thru. Then they also have @TN and @ARK. I'm not sure if TN will have enough to win it, but it will be close, IMO. For ARK, I think they are a strong team that doesn't get the headlines...at home, ARK may win. Last chance to screw it up is when they are home against FL. Of all those, I'd put my money on AU, or the TN surprise upset.

And just to keep the muck flowing, have you read this one yet?

Ex-Buckeyes player says he sold rings

COLUMBUS, Ohio -- Former Ohio State wide receiver Ray Small told the school's student newspaper that he sold Big Ten championship rings and other memorabilia for cash and got special car deals as an athlete during his playing days.

The Lantern reported that Small, who played for the Buckeyes from 2006-2010, said "everyone was doing it" on the team.

...

Small said, "We had four Big Ten rings. There was enough to go around."

He added that, despite Ohio State's large and proactive NCAA compliance department, most of the student-athletes "don't even think about (NCAA) rules."

...

Ohio State is investigating more than 50 transactions between Ohio State athletes and their families and two Columbus auto dealerships.

"They have a lot (of dirt) on everybody," Small said, "cause everybody was doing it."

...

Former Buckeyes basketball player Mark Titus wrote Tuesday on his blog that the perks within the football program are far from a secret.

"Any OSU student in the past five years could tell you that a lot of the football players drive nice cars," Titus wrote. "You'd have to be blind to not notice it."

Small said there was no shortage of people trying to help Ohio State athletes.

"Everywhere you go, while you're in the process of playing at Ohio State," Small said, "you're going to get a deal every which way."

Small played there 2006-2010, the meat of Tressel's time there. Methinks this is going to get all kinds of fugly for tOSU and Tressel in particular before it ever goes away.
 
just another football program, it would seem. 8(

OH WAIT THEY DON'T OVERSIGN SO LETS ALL SUCK THEIR COCKS.


As for the SEC East, I think florida could easily upset USC, and could probably in their division. Its not as though Meyer left them in shambles.
