Some things are better left unsaid. An appeal from a Dad.


Dec 19, 2012, 11:25 AM

May 16, 2008 will always be a red-letter day for me. That's the day my second daughter was born. Six hours after she was born her doctor told us she had come to us with Down syndrome. In a second - everything had changed.

There's been an HUGE boost in the use of the "R" word (as we call the word ###### in our family) on this board lately. I know it's a football board and we're all on here going back and forth at each other but let's try to use some different words. My daughter is going to hear this word a lot in her life. She can't do anything to change who she is. We can start here to rid the world of the use of this word.

Now...go ahead some of you. Flame me. Call me oversensitive. Say I'm over reacting. Say "Lighten up Francis". Call me whatever. That's fine. I'm just a Daddy making a plea to help end something that his baby girl may have to deal with for a long time.
