Did anyone make a joke about watching the Bengals in the 90s, yet?

The UK does a lot for their special Olympians. Lots of coverage and its taken quite seriously by the broadcasters . I love it when they call them superhumans.
Video from the ringer.

You don't understand how proud I am that my post at least contributed to this revelation.
My objective has been completed, and I can retire now. Johnny Cupcakes rides into the sunset with this one, fellas.

UK Promo for Superhumans. This is pretty cool.

They are really good athletes. There are also people who cannot make the games and want to see people they know compete.
They're not completely unaware of themselves. The idea of performing live on TV and broadcasted across the country invokes a lot of pride in them.

Blind people playing poker would be interesting.

I am not against the Special Olympics. I think it is a really great thing for the participants. I just don't think it needs to be marketed as a spectator event.
The way the Bengals played in the playoffs the past four years, you could deem them "special"
