Here is a file of the formal letter. Text: Letter To Comcast, NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock I am directing this letter to Comcast, NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock. The NFL should also read this to influence any broadcasters to agree to allow airtime for Deaf translators when they auction the license for a network to broadcast their future Superbowl. The evening on February 13 was an exciting time and day for the Americans because they were the host of the NFL’s Superbowl LVI (56) game for the Los Angeles Rams and Cincinnati Bengals. While it was indeed an exciting time for America and the world, it was utterly disappointing to a group that has over 430 million population worldwide – the Deaf community. It was utterly disappointing because NBC, NBC Sports, and Peacock under Comcast (parent company) did not take the opportunity to be inclusive by making sure that American Sign Language interpreters for National Anthem with Sandra Mae Frank and halftime with Warren “WaWa” Snipe and Sean Forbes to share the airtime with other singers. Every Superbowl would only air a very brief, a few seconds of a person translating the National Anthem in American Sign Language, and I think that is not fair. How about disabling the entire audio during a singer(s) singing the National Anthem and…

DESERT HOT SPRINGS, CALIF – Raven Taylor (no related to this author) has been arrested by Desert Hot Springs Police yesterday (November 19, 2021). He is accused of rape by force/fear, according to the police report. His rape by force/fear charge is felony and carries the 8 years in state prison and/or $10,000 fine. My sources has notified that at Gallaudet University, several women has notified the office of Title IX about Raven’s repeated sexual misconducts but nothing was being done due to the lack of evidence and he got away with it. Raven is a graduate of Indiana School for the Deaf and Gallaudet University. He was a member of Kappa Gamma fraternity. As of November 20, 2021, he is currently employed at California School for the Deaf – Riverside as substitute teacher. It is interesting to note that Raven is the third person to be accused of sexual misconducts coming from Indiana School for the Deaf, Gallaudet University and Kappa Gamma. The first two were Brian Bippus & Colin Whited. One friend told me that she believes that, “Indiana School for the Deaf produces rapists.” It was well known among the peers that Raven boasted that Nyle DiMarco is his cousin. Cheers, R- UPDATE: The rumors out of Riverside indicated that an unconscious, single, deaf mother was gang-raped…

There are a few of trending in the Deaf community, one of them is about a problem that is going on around in the Deaf community about American Sign Language interpreters with conflict of interests, and by American Sign Language interpreters conflict of interests, I mean the American Sign Language interpreters who are already biased due to conflict of interests but went ahead to accept the interpreting job. Biased American Sign Language interpreters are often in violation of the code of ethics, especially through the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID). If you visit the Registry of Interpreters for the Deaf (RID) code of ethics page, before getting to the full versions of their code of ethics, you would see one of their tenets number three (3) it says that interpreters conduct themselves in a manner appropriate to the specific interpreter situation and also under seven (7) it says interpreters engage in professional development. But further, it would be 3.7, which it says disclose to parties involved any actual or perceived conflicts of interest. Suppose that American Sign Language interpreter happens to have a conflict of interests. In that case, these are examples of codes of ethics that they violate. Still, it is not the only code of ethics required to follow as there are others, whether it be…

Merry Christmas! I hope that all of you enjoy Christmas this year while keeping yourselves safe from being exposed to COVID-19! I know that it is not going to be the Christmas that we always looked forward to every year where we get to spend some time with family members or friends and celebrate Christmas with Christmas dinner. This Christmas in the year 2020 is different, but here is something that we have to remember: by forcing ourselves to stay home and not allowing anyone to visit or allow us to visit others so that all of us get to continue to live to see each other again later. Because if we ignore our responsibility, be selfish, risk others, and be exposed to COVID-19, which can end our lives, we would not be able to celebrate future Christmas with them again. So, we got to remember that staying home…
