Actually mentally challenged is just a pc term, the clinical term still really is retarded. I bet what he really meant was stupid seeing as how the person/people to which he was referring almost undoubtedly has an I.Q. above 75. And as for the special olympics, they are competing amongst their peers and being the best in an event is definately something to be proud of. If there were olympic games for 48 year old men do you think you'd win at anything?
