Occasionally, I read articles telling me the HIV stigma is over. That's BS & everyone know's it. It doesn't matter how much info is out there, some people just get off on being jerks & fear-mongers.
This article details the events of a recently diagnosed, + man being forced out of a city league sports team. Read the article, it's pretty direct. A city rep asked the man's HIV status & when it was clear the man was +, the city representative removed him from the team.
So much ADA protection. So much for HIV scare being over. So much for the open signs of discrimination against + people going away.
Apparently the city has made "corrections" & the man can be back on the team next year. Too bad he was on a team that was going to playoffs & they booted him right before. The person(s) responsible for booting this player should be fired immediately.
Cya...
