In the meantime, here's a preview!

get with the times!
i was excited about this until i saw the word suffer. screw you! www.ivykennedy.com
Right.
Since I’m in the special needs community, that really rubbed me the wrong way, too. But I think it reflects poorly on the knuckleheads at ESPN who put the piece together, rather than the actual story about what goes on at Villanova. The amount of community involvement at VU is spectacular, whether that be with the Special Olympics, NDSS, “spread the word” campaign, etc. etc. So I’m particularly excited to see the whole story later today.

thank you for changing the title. i just watched their clip. acceptance and inclusion. that’s is what it’s about and i feel the clip captured that very well.
Villanova's Managers
Delighted to see this story – hope that in future you can avoid words like “victim”; “suffer from”, or other words that define the person unfairly. A person wh has CP is a person first and foremost, as are we all. Thank you.

I don't want to really get into this debate...
and I apologize for the way I originally phrased this.
There's the cat!
