Working to create a more just, equitable, and accessible experience in sports for all disabled athletes, coaches, staff, and fans. Strong bias towards woso
For the first time ever, the NHL is airing an alternate Stanley Cup Final broadcast for the Deaf community 👏
Here is Carter Verhaeghe's opening goal of Game 1 in American Sign Language!
Good on @liannesanderson for mentioning how difficult it is to read the @ORLPride kits! If it's hard for commentators to read them, imagine how difficult it is for folks with low vision.
Color contrast, babes. It's all the rage!
OCD can be so, so debilitating. Using it flippantly just adds to the misconceptions about this condition and the people living with it.
We have to be better with our words. We would never allow sexism, racism, or homophobia in our WoSo community. Why are we okay with ableism?
I don't know Megan. She seems fun and cool and like she's doing good things for soccer. But I'm disappointed in the way she used OCD here. Chronological OCD is not a thing, and as a person living with OCD, just "cringing" at my compulsions would be a GREAT day. 1/2
.@uswnt and #USdeafWNT will rock the warm-up shirts for tomorrow’s match - featuring CHAMPS in American Sign Language (ASL), a nod to admiration and excellence.
Designed by Deaf artist @remyglock, these shirts are more than just attire. They’re a celebration of unity and empowerment!
