As someone who watches subbed TV and movies frequently, it wouldn't particularly bother me. I prefer audio in my native language so I have the luxury of being able to take my eyes off the screen for a moment now and then, but that's not really an option when it comes to sign language.

That's a good point! Sign Language is the native language for Deaf People, not English Text.
