[Sportsandrec] A conversation starter: Blind Ref Trailer

[justin williams]

It would be nice to see persons who are blind in movies and shows as
lawyers, psychologists, computer experts, or other such professions.  Even
the blind superhero is rare; Daredevil, Zeratuchi the blind swordsman, the
show Long Street, and the warrior in the movie, blind Fury are acceptions
and far more preferable than what we saw with Mr. Kimble.

I was appalled. Still in somewhat shock that such a high profile individual
would come out with something like this. I wonder what the initial reaction
was after it aired on Jimmy Kimmel...when was the original airing?

Here's something likely to get the list talking. During all the nonverbal
parts, just imagine Will Smith going the wrong way, running into things or
doing whatever the public imagines blind people doing.

I've already left my comment on the YouTube page. I invite all of you to do
the same.
