That’s one of the dumbest things I’ve ever seen. We are all more stupid for observing this. May God have mercy on your soul.

Even dumber than Soccer. Although soccer might be entertaining if they blindfolded them like that. 😜

" This is a sport?"
No, it is not
Anything you play with a ball
is a game, not a sport
I'm sure some pinhead came up with
this foolishness so as to be inclusive
of some group of people that couldn't
make it playing a regular game
People get more stupid by the day

That's what I was wondering. Mentioned Paralympics at the end there. Just kids having some dumb fun.

If the defenders are supposed to blindfolded, how is it that they slid directly in front of the ball? Bizarre.

Two sides to go to.....................50/50 chance?
Or, they can hear the ball and take a guess?
Or they were taught by Mr Miyagi.

Note that it's in the Paralympics, not the real Olympics. It originated after WWII to help rehabilitate vets with eye damage.

I say we blindfold a baseball team and trick them into a racquetball court and say “play ball”.

Those are blind people. The ball has little holes for a beeper (used to be a bell) inside the ball. There are other sound signals around the court to locate the goal posts and boundary lines, keep the players oriented. They have to roll the ball, not throw.
So, while it looks dumb, for the blind it probably sounds awesome.
