Whats so gay about table tennis?
IMG_4198_DXO

I'm in a wheelchair so it is difficult for me to be very active but my friends make fun of me for liking to play table tennis. They always say things like, "why don't you try playing a manly sport" and "ahh, table tennis is for the gays." I actually have to pay them to get them to play table tennis with me.

First and foremost I am not a gay and have always been attracted to women but being confined to a wheelchair I am unable to pleasure women as they insist they must be pleasured. I'm not bitter though and realize that women do need to be pleasured (its in their DNA).

Therefore, I live alone and do not have the luxury of having a wife and partner. All I have are my friends who mock me for being a cripple.


Well said, cowboy.

What Paralympic sport have your country shown on television?
IMG_4189_DXO

The main onces I seen in Australia are
Swimming
Cycling
Wheelchair basketball
Athletes
Table Tennis


In Mexico they don't even show them on TV, but they are available online in Latin America on TerraTV.

So far I have watched:
Swimming
Athletics
Wheelchair basketball
Football 5-a-side
Boccia


Aren't you impressed with wheelchair basketball? I can hardly believe how they can control the wheelchairs like they do. It really looks like real basketball. That sport really caught my eye.

I also liked boccia, which is played by people with cerebral palsy, but despite that psychomotor problem, they are highly intelligent individuals who can actually plan a strategy perfectly well.
