If you have mobility issues, the chances are you can’t play any mainstream sports. Even if you didn’t use a wheelchair often, you still might not be fit enough to run around chasing a ball for a long amount of time so playing on a wheelchair team is probably the best bet. So, while physically disabled people can only really do a select amount of sports, if you’re able-bodied you can probably at least try all sports. If you can play regular basketball, you shouldn’t be playing wheelchair basketball because that should be reserved for people who can’t play regular basketball.People generally have quite ableist and ignorant attitudes towards people with disabilities. A lot of places aren’t accessible, people tend to look down on and underestimate us, we’re often dehumanised and our achievements are ignored, people push us out of the way and touch us without our consent, they question our own experiences and the way our bodies work as if they know more about it than us. People are basically offended by the existence of a lot of disabled people, but suddenly an able-bodied person sits in a wheelchair for a few hours and it’s COOL.Because people are ignorant and ableist, they like to take the piss. This leads to photos like this being taken (with the oh-so-original caption).[Image: an able-bodied teenage boy sitting in a wheelchair, pulling a face to try and mimic disabled people.]No. Sitting in a wheelchair and rolling around a hall for a few hours is nothing compared to the experiences of actually disabled people.If a school building or sports centre can’t supply everyday wheelchairs for disabled people to use, or simple disabled access such as ramps, but it can easily supply many wheelchairs for able-bodied people, this presents quite a few issues. Disabled people aren’t getting the support they need on a daily basis, but people who don’t need that support are getting it. It’s just a bit of fun for them, but for people with actual disabilities it’s not going to go away.
