the special olympics deserve not to be invaded by a bunch of boors, because they are their own occasion to mark the courage and work that those who begin with handicaps demonstrate to achieve remarkable feats.
yes, it is like protesting during church. it would be like if anti-war protestors had showed up to disrupt and yell at bush during medal-pinning ceremonies. it's taking something that's not about you or what you are yelling about and insisting that it become about you. It spits in the face of the competitors because it tells them that their achievements and struggles aren't worth even having a single day in the sun, the union protestors must have everything.
It would be like angry protesters pushing their way onto a private owned ship and tossing freshly shipped goods into the Boston harbor...
You're only damning the means of their protest, because you don't like their message.
