WWTT #2: Disabled Viewing Area
What were they thinking with this one?
Seriously?
I saw this sign at a friend of mine’s son’s t-ball game today (Go Red Sox!). The sign sits about chair height right beside the normal metal bleachers typical to community baseball fields.
These bleachers are the ONLY place to sit on the whole field, leaving tons of room for lawn chairs, wheel chairs, or whatever…
I have a few questions:
- Is the view disabled?
- Do you need to have disabled viewing to sit here?
- Is the view disabled because there is a sign right where the game is going on?
- Is the word “disabled” politically correct? Do you thing the viewing area is offended?
- On a normal sized community baseball field, with only enough bleachers for 15 people, is a “disabled viewing section” really necessary?
