Because he thought that it would be easy or even annoying to play with people with disabilities.
The government looks like it reallys doesn't care enough about people with disabilities. Our streets are unsaitable, we have an old system of public transports and even to get a job offer or opportunity is dificult.
Sports can helps like it does with everyone else, with or without disabilities: brings an opportunity to maintain a healthy life style, to make friends, to keep away from drugs or violence, etc.

He didn't find it useful also because of the important cup match that they have after a couple of weeks.People with disabilities in my country have many difficulties that I don't know where to start.Nothing in this direction has been done from the authorities.Even the spaces reservated for the disabilities in most of the cases,are occupied by the other people.In other cases,this category of people doesn't even get the very minimum,what legally belongs to them, the disability pension...It's so sad...Sometimes I feel so ashamed about myself for being part of such society and for the inability for doing something.they are praying for only one thing,the disability pension and this is the only thing that they demand.To talk about sport in my country,helping this category of people,sounds weird to me,when the authorities tasked with the liability to do what legally belongs to them don't do it.In my country I would even go to say that sport can't even help itself...

Felipe didn't want to play at first because people with disabilities can't play and that it will be embarassing.
In Algeria they cannot have access to a lot of transport means and in my specifique town they cannot use wheelchairs because they are not good sidewalks.
We have a great number of World Champions who are helped by the State. One of them is very ill. His name is Alleg.

Felipe didn't want to play at first because he is new with his disability.
In my country people have difficulties with their disabilities because there is a lack of means or facilities helping them to entertain or work.
The Public Authority try to do their best for helping them practise sport .
