The ADA applies to hiring practices and facilities for employers with 
more than 15 employees, government agencies, and public facilities such 
as theaters and stadiums.  It does not apply to privately sponsored 
activities, and the principle of reasonable accommodation certainly 
doesn't apply to circumventing the traditional intent of an event ... 
i.e, in this case, to hear a signal.  Go to http://www.ada.gov/ and find 
one single example where the ADA would have any relevance to this 
discussion whatsoever.

I'm beginning to think that you keep tossing this outlandish stuff out 
there just to troll for morons like me to bite at it.
