First, I don't know the outcome of this...the guy who got hit is likely to be just fine (if a little bit stunned).

Would you have laughed if it was another football player that got plowed over on the sideline?

Would you have laughed if it was a cheerleader that got nailed.

Would you have laughed if it was the team mascot?

Would you have laughed if it was Justin Beiber?

Would you have laughed if it was a fat guy?

I'm thinking that it might be yes for a large percentage of people. Humor is generally at someone's expense.

And, knowing some disabled people, not all of them want to be treated differently or with kid gloves.

Not to get too political, but this is where Political Correctness has taken us...to question whether something is funny or not.
