Pride for Deaf culture!

[trickster1876]

@praiselordgrace please don't call it a culture. i think it just deaf people playing football, to me it does not matter wether it deaf or hearing people playing football. before you go saying 'you got no respect for deaf people, i too am deaf

[praiselordgrace]

@trickster1876, lol...community deaf is pride own culture! you dislike it. That's ok. Thanks. have a nice day.

[trickster1876]

@praiselordgrace i am not saying that i dislike it i am all in favour for anything that will boost all us deaf spirts up to realize that we can do what we want to do and there are sports that we can do.

sigh.. i do not like how they portrayed inteprreter here.. deaf player should be in the video and the interpreeter should be out of the spotlight... but great video.
