It doesn't resemble rugby in any way, shape, or form. So even calling it wheelchair rugby is just.. stupid.
Their sport is not stupid because they play it in wheelchairs. The sport is stupid because they try to call it rugby.
This whole "we may be cripples, but we can do everything you can do" shit is so tired. And that's all it is. I imagine having their own sports, suitable to their ability, would be more enjoyable than playing a "compromised" version of a sport and having to whack wheelchair in front of the name.
Of course, you get exceptions, like wheelchair basketball. Something like that is good, because the game is actually played as it normally would be. They just happen to be in a wheelchair when they play.
I think a lot of these people feel compromised enough as it is without having to participate in a sport with compromised rules.
