Guest guest Posted August 9, 2011 Report Share Posted August 9, 2011 While not directly related to dwarfism, it could be. In NC, there is a boy with Downs Syndrome, named Brett Bowden. Because he's 19 and a senior, the rules of HS football don't allow him to suit up. He doesn't want to play in the game at all, just merely be beside the sidelines supporting his team. This could happen to any LP as well in NC, since the majority of LP kids are recommended to be held back due to their height, or for other reasons. Below is the news article, and a facebook page created to show support. He may not be an LP, but it could very well be one of us next. http://www.highschoolot.com/content/story/9969814/ http://www.facebook.com/pages/Let-Brett-Bowden-Play/229211873780578?sk=wall Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
