Not to be insensitive, my wife actually collects major leaguers with disabilities, but deaf players were never banned from playing. Yes both groups were discriminated against, but the level of discrimination isn't comparable unless deaf people were enslaved and once freed, occasioanlly lynched because they were deaf.
