Today we kicked things off with the story from our own Sam Borden.

A couple of years ago I was talking to a guy named Bryce Christensen and Bryce is a child of deaf parents and he's a big Milwaukee Bucks fan.

And a couple years back he pushed the Bucks to let him interpret the coaches press conference in American sign language for

any Bucks fans out there who who were deaf and at one point during the

conversation he was talking to me about what passionate sports fans there are within the deaf community.

And I was asking him, do most of your friends that are deaf who are sports fans, do they watch games on TV or do they go to games in person

or what's sort of the mix there?

He said, you know, a lot of them like going to games,

but because so many arenas and stadiums in America don't have closed captioning on video boards all over the arena,

they feel like they're paying full price for a ticket and only getting half the experience.

The idea of paying full price for a ticket but only getting half the experience

kind of stuck with me.

We're talking about a really, really large community of sports

fans that are pretty much overlooked all the time. A group of people that have what's

known as invisible disabilities,

disabilities that you wouldn't know that they had if you were sitting next to them

in a stadium or you cross past with them at a concession stand.

And this craw has passed with them at a concession stand.

And this project is essentially designed

to make their case for them. The Americans with Disabilities Act was passed 34 years ago,

leading to a significant rise in awareness, inclusion, and accommodation for people with disabilities across the country.

But all these years later, many knees remain unmet by stadiums and arenas nationwide.
