There are all sorts of homeless people, I think. Who decides if a person is homeless? And, do they differentiate between gypsies/didicois/travellers and the sort of people who live in cardboard boxes in the city centre? People who bum off friends and relations? Professional footballers and other athletes between clubs? Runaway children who doss under bridges?
Do the teams get tested for dope, like other athletes do?

I've been giving it a little thought, mostly because the sheer unliklihood took me by surprise. I can understand paraplegic games, and very exciting they are, too, but a sub-group who either make a lifestyle choice or have it thrust on them, or choose to run away from an untenable situation? How can you make that a level playing field?

It occurs to me that this may be jack-up by someone who wants to create an organisation that gives them a chance to suck on the public teat, as we say here. Working, too, isn't it?

You can call me cynical if you like, but I try not to be stupid. That money would be better spent teaching them skills, finding them housing, giving them psychiatric aid, or setting them up in businesses. Even professional footballers sometimes have trouble adjusting to life after retirement(at about 35) so what chance have these people got!
