wrong. Sure. 
As many of you know my profession, that it gives me the chickpeas, is linked to the world of sport, specifically the training of athletes. I had the opportunity to work with Paralympic athletes and fortunately or unfortunately unaware of this article by Mr. Savater, until an athlete mia, juvenile, brought me.
seems that the article is used in schools as a text to comment, which seems pretty bad for the sport both as integral education of our kids.
Savater Lord, do not try to show the shortcomings of these athletes or to appeal to the sense of guilt society, giving a sample of opportunity scattered and pointless. Not even this is taken out of context the reality of these people is simply a way to normalize his life and make them part of a facet of our society. Certainly there are many things to do with these groups, but the sport is one of them. And, sorry if I seem somewhat pedantic or left from right, but many of these athletes, despite their "handicap", it would seem to you, at any racetrack, a real physical decline, since, in terms to mental worth, shows you, in this particular article, quite a few shortcomings.
Not being an intellectual known in this country are you in possession of truth and reason, much less should we take your text as an educational example for our teens. In my humble opinion, and from a closer view of the sports world, at least much more closer than you, I appeal to the right to claim full mistake of his argument. Sorry, but despite their literary prizes, sometimes mistakes are made.
Here is the text of Fernando Savater:
"If now I tell them I'll try the Paralympics, which begin to imagine certain content that exalt the untamed ferocity of the human will against the limitations of disability physics, and so forth. Well, no. My opinion is that the Paralympic Games are not a glorious moment, but promote an unfortunate misunderstanding. With all due respect, bullshit seem monumental. So try to justify my case.
Apparently, these Paralympic competitions seek to prove that people with physical disabilities are not inferior in dignity and deserve no less admiration but in any case more than those who did not suffer. I'm so in accordance with this approach that these Games seem rather extravagant humiliation rather than confirmation. It is clear that a person without legs can not run like one who has: how important then is not to prove that if he persisted nonetheless may take more or less well, but a person who is not qualified to run not make it any less human than others and that is suitable for many other things life for which there is no need to have legs.
As they are given a proper opportunity, prove that disabled people are not merely determined by physical, but we can strive for excellence so versatile and there are a thousand different ways to know how to win social recognition. A quadriplegic as Stephen Hawking does not need to swim in fits and starts or shoot a bow with his mouth to win our respect: his example shows that in life there are other things humanly significant than swimming or archery. If, however, would have persisted in making athletics only have been surprised by his stubbornness, calling the malicious wonder surrounding the circus freaks.
The Olympics are an opportunity for men and women show their perfection in certain physical exercises, wonderful when done well, but perfectly dispensable. I do not understand why people who suffer a disability for such skills have to engage in shadow with varying degrees of success, when so many other things to do. The important thing is that society does not marginalize them and give them chance to prove his worth in that for what they are as capable as anyone ... but do not win medals and compassionate. "
