I wouldn't do that any more than calling an athlete at the Special Olympics, which I volunteer at often, Corey Edwards.
Why did you mention Corey Edwards?
He made a bad play at the end of the game the other day. I wouldn't expect sixth graders to make that play.
I don't associate saying Edwards made a retarded play with Special Olympics athletes. In fact, if you look up the actual definition of retarded, you'll see that it means "developing later than expected."
If that doesn't fit the definition of Edwards I dont know what does.
