Wheelchair Basketball Event Offends Student Activists

Red Eye’s organizers admit that the event “attracts primarily able-bodied participants.” This is a big problem for some people, it seems.
“Wheelchair basketball should be for physically disabled people who need wheelchairs,” said Ophelia Brown, a disability advocate.
