"Tropic Thunder" is a new movie that contains extremely offensive material to our athletes and others with intellectual disabilities. Starring Ben Stiller, Jack Black and Robert Downey Jr., it features a movie-within-the movie called “Simple Jack....Once upon a time there was a retard."
The "R-word" is hate speech -- choose to support our athletes by not seeing Tropic Thunder.
