Guys, i'm not sure if you know it or not, so i'll get it out there in case you are thinking it is some flake out on the stage.....that guy suffers from mental retardation.
If this was a 'normal' competitor, I can see the flames, but it's somebody just living a dream with less fortunate genetics than most of us have ourselves.
Not trying to flame anybody here, as it may not be apparent, but you may want to reassess your replies
This guy has been competing for a few years, and his family has very kindly asked other boards to give positive praise when threads like this have been posted. They've asked for our support and not crush a dream for somebody just trying to to be the best he can.
NOTE: For anybody that posts "How can anybody allow their family member or friend to go up there and embarass themself like this?"......I'm not even going to respond. Let's just show some class and show that we lead with positive reeforcement and respect
Thanks for your time!
