This is forcing everyone to see it. I know ppl who go to games that can't hear the PA and they still had a great time. Everyone looks at the scoreboard for the down and distance anyway.

I think I laid it on too thick there. I still think his claim that he can't "follow the game" without a PA announcer is dumb, but to call him stupid for it...like you said, kind of a jerkwad thing to say. Yeah, Bobo.

You are really saying he is screwed up in the head because he has a disability? Sometimes people with disablities go so they can experience things we "normal" people do. By your own admission you and I normally can't hear announcers and referees in a large stadium...so what is the problem exactly? I've been to baseball games, football games and...get this..even major ampitheater CONCERTS that have a hearing impaired section with someone signing the words of songs, yet the, as you call them, aurally challenged folks can't hear a damn thing. So its awesome that you are so big to go along with ramps and elevators and gluten free food, but its too bad you can't support deaf fans, idotic or not, to help them get the whole experience. Maybe you should look around...many facilities have something similiar, albeit they aren't large sections or groups of people, but they do exist.
