Everybody Wins!

 * 1) 1 Why is it more important to be fair and have athletes compete than it is to win?

This is why it is more important to be fair and have athletes compete than it is to win. If people aren't fair then why bother to play. One reason it's more important to be fair and have athletes compete than it is to win because some people are in wheelchairs and have to see special therapists, so if your going to win then that's not fair with people in wheelchairs and have specail needs. I know that it's not fair for people in wheelchairs and people purposely try to beat them because I read it from the story. Another reason it's more important to be fair and have athletes compete than is is to win is because some people are embarrassed and people make fun of them and try to beat them because they have specail needs. I know some people try to beat other people just because they have specail needs because I read it in the story. The last reason it is more important to be fair and have athletes compete than it is to win because some people who are trying to win make fun of other people and the people they made fun of lost their confidence and that's not fair ro them. I know people make fun of other people and they loose their confidence because I read it in the story. As you can see that is why it is more important to be fair and have athletes compete than it is to win.(Ivy S.)

It's more important to be fair and compete than it is to win. Here's why being fair and competing is more important than winning. One reason why is that the winners from an event can be selfish. I can prove this because say a woman walks up who won an event. She can just talk about what happened or she can talk about how better she was than everyone else. Another reason why is that if it wasn't for Eunice Shriver, people with disabilities wouldn't be playing in sports. I can prove this because she first came up with the idea of Special Olympics. As you can see,it's more important to be fair than it is to win. (Joseph V.)

The reason why it's important to play fair and have athletes compete than win is because if you win and you didn't play fair your going to feel bad for the person who should of won.Now here sre three reasons why it's important to play fair.The first reason why it's better to play fairly and have athletes compete than it is to win is because some Special Olympics people have different disabilities.I can prove this because in my book it says "That's why Special Olympics athletes are placed in divisions based on their ability.The second reason why it's important is because to people with disability it's the spirit that matters to them.I can prove thos because in my book it says "To Special Olympics athletes, it's the spirit that counts, not if you won.The last reason why it's important to play fair is because if you cheated and you won your going to feel really bad when they give you a medal.I can prove this because if you do something wrong your going to feel really bad.As you can see it's very important to play fair and have athletes compete than it is to win.

I think it is more important to be fair and to have athletes compete than it is to win. If people weren't fair then less people would come to watch or compete. It is more important to be fair to all people especially those who have disabilities. Those who have disabilities are able to compete fairly in sporting competitions like the Special Olympics. If no one came to watch the games, there would not be enough money to host the Special Olympics. It is very important for everyone to be fair and not to worry about who wins. People with disabilities can be teased or made fun of and the Special Olympics helps protect them from not being treated fairly. As you can see that is why I think it is more important to play fair and to have athletes compete rather than to win.(Cody D.)

There is many reasons why it is more important to be fair and participate thain it is to win. Here are the reasons and why The first reason is someone with no legs in a wheelchair can not compete in the leg roll. I know that because it is called the LEG roll and the person has no legs. The second reason is if the people who are developmentally challenged won, they would overreact. I know that because if the person who won's developmenal challenge is autism, they would not be able to control their emotions and they might hurt someone else's feelings. The last reason is if the Special Olympics or the Olympics were not fair, no one would want to participate. I know that because it is not funto be unfair and no one would want to do something because it is unfair. As you can see, it is more important to be fair and participate than it is to win. (Walter W.)
