I feel like it would be more distracting and difficult to follow someone doing sign language on screen (plus likely to lose some of the nuance of the dialogue) instead of just reading it, but obviously I'm not deaf so have no real context here.

1. American Sign Language isn't English. It's a unique language by itself.
2. Not everyone, deaf or otherwise, can read.
3. Not everyone who can read, deaf or otherwise, is able to read fast enough to keep up with subtitles.
