The Olympics verses Paralympics 2012
The Olympics was broadcasted a lot in the USA but I have not seen the Paralympics mentioned at all. It seems a shame. I have heard that a lot of tickets were sold , my sister who lives in London said that the tickets were a lot cheaper to see the Paralympics, in truth it should be the other way around. These men and women have had to face challenge after challenge. I am not saying that men and women in the Olympics do not but to me the men and women in the Paralympics have to had to face more challenges than many of us will ever face. Perhaps in years to come they both will be broadcasted like equals. Until then to me it appears like segregation in a class boys on one side girls on another. We are all equal aren't we... ? then how come the television networks saw only to broadcast one intensly and not the other. Does it boil down to money and how many ratings they would get...it should boil down to being a human. Everyone's story is a hope to encourage another isn't it?
I would of loved to heard the stories of many at the paralympics not just the Olympics. Will they get the same hero welcome? It is as if nothing really changes, people are still judged and segregated even in 2012.
My hope is that we all stand and so when the next Olympics comes both lights will be shone brightly for all the world to see.
There's always room for one more.
