I hate the term ‘confined to a wheelchair.’

It’s even in the AP handbook (the media’s bible to NOT use the term, but the media always insists on using it.

I heard it today on ESPN, during halftime of the Denver/LA game. They were doing one of their “inspirational team adopts poor soul in a wheelchair story,’ which really annoys me anyway, but it is the norm in journalism today towards gimps so I don’t get too angry, but they used the term ‘confined to a wheelchair’ and now I’m angry.

Grrr…

Stupid media.
