Poor Little Tink Tink, Oscar Pistorius "Blade Runner" Charged with Murder Feb. 2013

Some of you may recall comedian, Katt Williams' stand-up routine called "Poor Little Tink Tink." Williams was poking fun, yet sympathizing for this man because he is an professional amputee Olympic track runner, who is constantly challenged by other racers and scientists who claim he has an "unfair advantage," because of his prosthetic legs. Katt Williams strikes back and poses a question to the audience "How does a man with no legs in a foot race with no "foots," have an unfair advantage?"LOL

He was referencing Oscar Pistorius, otherwise know as the "Blade Runner." He is a South African sprint runner. At the 2011 Championships in Athletics, Pistorius became the first amputee to win a world track metal. At the 2012 Summer Paralympics he won gold metals. Pistorius' legs were amputated when he was a very young child due to deformity, and Pistorius is therefore truly a symbol of bravery and heroism!

Unfortunately, on Feburary 14, 2013 Pistorius was charged with the murder of his girlfriend, model, Reeva Steenkamp. He allegedly shot her early that morning in his home. He was granted bail and must appear in court June 2013.

Sadly, on the day Steenkamp died she was scheduled to give a speech to a Johannesburg school about her fight against abuse towards women. http://www.heavy.com/news/2013/02/reeva-steenkamp-oscar-pistorius-hot-facts/ Check out this website, she was actually a multi-faceted, beautiful, talented woman. She only started dating Pistorius last year. She had even planned a surprise Valentine's Day for Pistorius. 0_0

I am not casting any judgement, as I do not know what happened between the two of them...but on Valentine's Day though, that's just foul. However, speaking of "UN-fair," I do not think it's fair for people to attempt to disqualify him from gold metals because he has specially made prosthetic legs. It's amazing that he can even run with fake legs! One writer for TheDailyBeast.com and a writer for Sports Illustrated, argue that this allegation does not detract from his great successes and triumphs and that as an amputee he without a doubt has gone through many emotional struggles we are unaware of. The DailyBeast writer suggests that "we need to stop with the self-delusion and stop judging gifted athletes,"  as the writer believes that "these men have to be narcissistic, as anybody, in the pursuit of greatness." He suggests that professional athletes and coaches often lack morals. Ok, I can see that argument of lack of morals, but does that justify?

What are your thoughts?
