Yah boo sucks to David Thomas, who claimed in yesterday's Sunday Telegraph (see this posting) that no one cares about disability sport -- and it's only being televised out of guilt.
The Media Guardian reports (registration required) that nearly 2 million viewers tuned in to the BBC's live TV coverage from the Paralympics yesterday afternoon -- more than double the audience for Sunday Grandstand the previous weekend.
Care to reconsider, Mr Thomas?

Mr Hughes, would you care to clarify your statement "These are all valid questions."?
"Is the Paralympics a real, meaningful sporting competition? How can Paralympians claim to be elite athletes when athletic excellence is all about physical perfection -- not disability? Is the Paralympic nothing more than a giant exercise is political correctness?"
What makes these questions valid to you? With whom are you debating with in Athens?
