I would have no problem with adopting a downs syndrome kid on our varsity team and giving him a letter jacket. Everyone knows what is going on and the love shown to the kid and comradeship would be a blessing to the kid and the team. I remember how cruel kids treated downs syndrome children back in the 1950s in my elementary school. So embarrassing I didn't do anything to stop it.
