Chat vs. Active? Let’s see here. When I walked pass with my team who are hearing and yes I am only deaf hanging out with them. They were eager to play game so I agreed. I just look over the deaf and they are much chatting.

I been catch up by myself from the past I been among people on whatever chatting or playing. Many times, I been playing and not chatting much. Over the years, I grow up with hearing players. They talk in their ears and I don’t hear but the way they laugh or talking SAME TIME while playing! I know sounds jealous but TRUE! Oh How I know? I can see them talking and body language shows clear. I would laugh with them but felt stupid for not know what they are talking about.

Now I played with deaf team and they been chatting much than playing game. Geez. I know sounds hard but fact, they are doing best than hearing players. LOL Why? They can sign far outfield and signal are very skilled! I been do this often but with hearing players…..nope. They can’t hear far or not understand the signal in outfield.

Okay why chat vs. active? hearing players has a lot of attention and active real hard. They does talking into their ears. deaf players has a lot of attention of sign language then playing in the field. If they are aware about the play rules then will be smooth fast alike as others team. If not, that will be worse for teams. Chat is higher for the deaf because of much attention than active. Yes they are much active because of sign language but playing?

Our eyes watching for ball and sign language in SAME TIME!! Not our ears…..
