paralympics

The advert that calls the athletes "superhuman"
Is it just me or is this extremely condescending? If I were a disabled athlete, this would bug the shit out of me, how patronising, I'm "superhuman"
It bugged me when the advert aired last time and it bugs me now. I think it's channel 4

It probably also bugs the athletes to keep being called "disabled". Most probably don't think of themselves that way.

Kpo58 really? Athletes who participate in Paralympic sport are grouped into categories based on their type of disability. Your statement makes you sound as if you think the term 'disabled' is a pejorative term.
