-- The Big Pepsi irony
We have a Big Pepsi irony. Pepsi has always captioned
the Super Bowl. Thank you, Pepsi - but there are no
captions at the Pepsi Center in Denver. A lawsuit
has been filed for that reason. Basketball, hockey
and soccer fans are frustrated with no captions.

-- fired for showing concerns about the deaf
past Nampa (Idaho) Deputy Fire Chief Doug Strosnider
was fired from his job in 2014. He filed a lawsuit
against the city over this wrongful firing. He claims
that one of the reasons he was fired was because
he inspected an apartment building, and was told
by the landlord that deaf people were not allowed
to live in these apartments. He made a big issue
out of it and it cost him his job. Settlement
has been reached in that case.
-- to stay or to move out
Many deaf people are frustrated while living in
small towns. Reason is that services and
opportunities for them are limited. Many of
them stay because of strong network of family
and friends, even giving up opportunities that
bigger cities offer. Is there a perfect solution?
No. Each deaf person has to make own decision on
what is best for himself.
