Filthy Sign Language Lessons With Rick Majerus

In the book, called “Longshot: The Adventures of a Deaf Fundamentalist Mormon Kid and His Journey to the NBA,” Lance Allred repeats his claim that Majerus told him that he was “a disgrace to cripples” and that if he was “a cripple in a wheelchair and saw you play basketball, I’d shoot myself.” But Allred also goes on to note that if Majerus might have been incredibly insensitive, he also at least took the time to learn sign language. Even if the application was somewhat dubious.
