After the written description there is a link to Limping Chicken, a British
blog site that shows a 10 minutes video how a Brazilian Deafblind youngster
could enjoy world cup games using two interpreters and a tactile football
field. One interpreter signs on the deafblind's back who has the possession
of the ball and how the spectators cried, when the referee blows his whistle
and sign the different types of fouls. The other interpreter has the hands
of the deafblind on his hands and leads the movements of the players and the
ball on the tactile football field. He would spell to him the names or
numbers of the players. He also signs the Brazilian National Anthem. The
game being watched is between Brazil and Croatia. At the end, the Deafblind
youngster signs in LiBras, the name of the Brazilian Sign language, his
great happiness about being able to take part in the fever of the Soccer
World Cup. You will recognize a few signs that is the same or similar to
ASL. LiBras has a similar history of ASL. A French Deaf man named Huey went
to Brazil at the same time as Laurent Clerc went to USA and brought the Old
LSF there.
