By which people in charge? FIRST or arena management?
I'm just not getting the apparent notion that being in danger of losing one's job justifies being insensitive to the needs of people with disabilities.
And I'll say this... if some elderly person had fallen down the stairs, or died of a heart attack while climbing the stairs, because Joe-I'm-Just-Doing-My-Job wouldn't let that person on the elevator, Joe would have found himself between jobs anyway -- as a scapegoat.
Again...
I never suggested that anyone should do anything that would cause a firing or that I would derive pleasure from anyone getting fired.
And I never dismissed the possibility that insubordination could result in a firing.
None of that means I have to be complacent about the idiocy of it all.
