I'm all for giving those with a disability accommodations to ensure they receive equitable treatment, but buying you own bootleg varsity letter isn't in this category. If this was a case of some random kids being forced to remove varsity jackets they had bought it would not have made the news, the only reason it did is the person is disabled.

Agreed. I also think the LA Kings should take immediate steps to remove Chris Sutter from any and all practices, team events and the dressing room. After all the dressing room is for team members only or the media when warranted. It also cheapened the sanctity of the game when he helped coach the All Star game.
Good lord
There are times when being a good human being trumps any sort of tradition, no matter how big or small.
