I think the term disabled was eschewed because it makes it seem like a person with limits don't have the ability to do things when actually many of them do - they just have to do it different or at a different pace.  

I know a dude in a wheelchair who's in great shape.  he can't walk, but I don't know that I would ever call that guy disabled.    He can do just about everything.   He can drive if he has someone to get his wheelchair out of the back seat.

Not allowed?  You can call it that if you want (I still do somethimes because it's so ingrained in my brain) but the official name is now Injured List which is similar to other sports.   

I think the idea was not born of political correctness, but rather that "injured" is a more accurate reflection of the condition than "disabled".

They changed the name at the same time they changed the 15 day DL to a 10 day IL. I think.
