A Right to Participate!!  

Speaking as a disabled person, I'd say that the judge and coach are in the right here. It's awesome that she's not letting her disability get in her way, but the fact of it is, disabilities are called so for a reason. It sucks that we can't do some of the things we want to, but there are so many options afforded to us right now that we can still find a way to do the things we love. And the judge is right - there are so many outlets for us disabled folks to keep on doing what we love. We can't expect the whole world to make exceptions for us, and we shouldn't.

Speaking for myself, I don't want anyone trying to make things easier for me or bending rules and regulations just so I can get my way. I can't rodeo ride anymore, but I can still show in other classes. I can't go white water rafting anymore, but I've joined a kyaking team. I've found the niches where I can do what I love and not have to worry.

she can allowed on college team if she can play equally with another healthy person because every coach wants to be is team should be good and she can have the chance to play in another teams which are especially for them

I think she should be allowed to play on the college team! no matter what people look like or disabilities doesnt mean how well they will do at a certain thing.

All of us has the right to join to a sport activity even you are disabled!...That person wont join if she knows that she's not capable of doing it well!..But if she insisted, why dont we give her a chance to prove it!...It's not a loss anyway!...She believed that she can do it without the presence of her other leg!...Its not a hendrance to our success!

yeah college team

they should let her play.no matter what..an how is she going to hurt another player? that is so dumb.i hope she keeps takeing them to court! glad to here she is a fighter..you go Girl..

I have to agree with the coach and judge on this one. There are other teams that she could play on. It's so great that she's not letting her disability get in her way though. She sounds like an amazing person!

Basketball can get rough, and players do get hurt...for my own opinion if she can play, and meets every standard or exceeds, the quality of play the other players do she should be allowed to play.

The judge using the term 'her level' can be taken one of two ways. Either he considers 'her level' to be below unchallenged players or he considers 'her level' to be above them.

Since he did not specify, I would assume he considers 'her level' to be below and he has violated her rights as a human being.

There are millions of things that others said could not be done, until someone did them...

Let the lady play. She'll either make it or not on her own merit.

I feel that the school might not be intentionally discriminating against your daughter, after all the school team would be playing to win. However, the school should give your daughter a chance to try for the team, and if she does not make the cut compared to other players, then at least she would have lost fair and square.

That's a bad news. I dont think there's any reason not allowing her to join the team. Is there any official rule that amputee should not play basketball with the non amputee? I think she has the right to be in the team. All sports have rules, I think no one should get hurt if they play by the rules :)
