Equal through Sports: The Deaf Olympics Culture Sports and athletic competitions are just as important in the Deaf World as they are to hearing people. Deaf athletes are organized into local, state, regional, national and international associations representing a wide variety of sporting interest. Every four years Deaf athletes and spectators gather to participate in the Olympic Games, which began in1924, providing the opportunity to compete in an environment that does not penalize or limit achievement due to deafness. For example, stating cues are visual rather than audible, featuring flashing lights rather than the sound of a staring pistol or whistle. See http://www.deaflympics.com

Gloss and be prepared to sign for the instructor. FHPO Chapter 20

The Football Huddle Culture The football huddle was invented in 1892 by a Deaf student at Gallaudet University named Paul Hubbard. Concerned about opposing players being able to see his team’s signs and planned plays, Paul urged his teammates to huddle up. Quickly, the concept spread across college campuses and today, the football huddle is an important part of the game. The Deaf community’s contributions to the sport of football didn’t end with the huddle: Professional Deaf football players like Bonnie Sloan and Kenny Walker and Deaf cheerleaders Mona Vierra and Lisa Fishbein demonstrate that Deaf athletes are as skilled as their hearing counterparts.

ASL Up Close The use of HAVE: ASL uses EXPERIENCE and FINISH to ask if you have done something, not HAVE. HAVE is literal, like do you HAVE a sister. NMS ALERT! FINISH—When signing FINISH mouth FISH. Don’t say the word out loud, just mouth it. Why? Because it’s what the Deaf do.
