Default Re: cool news story with video

What took the Coach so long to put him in?

"Put me in Coach I'm ready to play... today" c/o John Fogerty

We had a similar story this past high school football season. A local team had a young man with Downs Syndrome as one of their players, before the end of the game both head coaches agreed to put him in for one play from the 1 yard line and let him carry the ball. He gets the ball and goes 99 yards for TD with a smile from sideline to sideline. To see the joy on his face and the tears in his parents eyes was awesome!

I wish the news media focused on more of these type stories.
