> And I always think it a tad odd when they introduce the sign language interpreters for the songs (nice gauges on the one guy), but then never show them again. I think they introduced 3 different interpreters before the game. Always strikes me as a sorta meaningless gesture to suggest they are being inclusive. Why is closed captioning insufficient?

[I asked this question here](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/why-american-sign-language-on-television/851453) a while ago and had my ignorance fought.
