DeafDigest Mid-Week edition, April 17, 2014
-- a real deaf champion or a fake deaf champion?
Sean Noone is deaf and is a professional wrestler in Great
Britain. He has been wrestling professionally for 8-9 years.
DeafDigest is not sure if he is a full time wrestler or a
part time wrestler because many pro wrestlers are part time.
Anyway he wrestles under the name Sean Midnight. Touroumon,
a pro wrestling entertainment company in Japan (just like
WWE in USA) invited him to participate in a big wrestling
tournament. He won the 2-day tournament. So, is it a real
wrestling championship or a fake wrestling championship?
Well, in Japan, pro wrestling is a very popular and a serious
sport! Sean, by the way, is not really that big, only weighs
210 lbs and stands only 5'11 tall.
-- telecommunications tower hurting a deaf school?
A school for the deaf has a tall telecommunications tower
standing in the back of the building. The neighborhood
residents are not too happy about it and have staged a
protest rally demanding the removal of the tower. They
are saying that it is hazardous to everyone in the
school building and those in the neighborhood. What
is the name of the school and where is it? It is the
Federation School for the Deaf in Malaysia!
-- filing a lawsuit because of a football-like tackle
Jesus Trevino, a deaf resident of Bakersfield, California,
was tackled from behind by a police officer. He could not
hear their commands, and the police thought he was a
burglar. He lost the key to his apartment and was hoping
to push the door open. Alarmed neighbors called the police,
saying Jesus was a burglar. The tackle broke his arm and
wrist and sent him to hospital with large medical bills.
As a result he has filed police brutality lawsuit against
the Bakersfield Police Department.
