Head football coach (above) is deaf and has two deaf sons on the team.
RIVERSIDE, Calif. — The athletic program at the California School for the Deaf, Riverside, has suffered its share of humiliations and harassment over the years.
There was the time that a visiting team’s volleyball coach mocked the deaf players.
And another time a hearing coach for the girls’ basketball team listened as opponents discussed how embarrassing it would be to lose to a deaf team.
It did not help morale that the varsity football team, the Cubs, recently suffered seven straight losing seasons, leaving the school with the sinking feeling that opposing football teams came to the Riverside campus expecting an easy win.
No one is disparaging the Cubs anymore.
This season, they are undefeated — the highest-ranked team in their Southern California division.
Through 11 games, they have not so much beaten their opponents as flattened them. (NYT)
