if you dont feel like watching the video, basically a middle school team had purposdley stopped like, 2 yards from their opponents goal line to give their handicapped waterboy a chance to score the touchdown. he ran it in while everyone crowded around him and pushed him through

p cool video, cool kids

I know Olivet school districts. We saw them at the Rockford Marching Invitational. They had a good show.

Faith in humanity restored again

I swear this happened before
or maybe it was a basketball shot
but gee "mentally disabled" would be a bit more heartwarming of a title ;-;

i dont think the other team knew, i could be wrong. either way i dont see why not, the formation was legit, the plays up to that point were all legit

the other team should let me get a touchdown

even though Im not handicapped.

Is this the same team that lets the opposing team score "to feel good about themselves"

no, that kid had been with that group of guys since like, the start i guess. and they prob knew they were gonna play a horrible team so they planned it out ahead of time

I saw this already, it's heart-warming. It is rare to see boys, especially on football teams being so nice, sincere, and caring to a special needs child. He may never have such a happy experience like this in his life in his later years, hopefully he does though and this isn't his only.

This honestly makes me feel very happy, this is great for them!

Very touching. It's nice to see nice kids like this. My schools football team would have never done something like this considering they yell out swag, turn up, or yolo whenever they get a touchdown.
