It sucks that the kid with Downs has ditz in his name. This stuff gets to me every time.

My bad for not checking facebook first....How bad would it suck if some unaware kid on the other team drilled him.

that was actually awesome. 9/28/2010 1:50:41 PM |

I think its awesome as well.
HOWEVER...it would have been pretty damn funny if one of those players on the opposing team would have accidentally tackled him on one of their "fake" dives. That...or if he just tripped and fell. You're lying if you say wouldn't laugh. 9/28/2010 1:55:40 PM |

I would have laughed my balls off. 9/28/2010 1:57:01 PM |

I could definitely see some ADD juice head on the other team laying him out. And yes, I would probably laugh.

I'm not sure how I feel about it. The kid doesn't realize he's being condescended to. It's like the Truman Show or something, everyone knows its fake except for him. 9/28/2010 2:08:45 PM |

Oh c'mon, it is different. That kid was in absolute heaven. 9/28/2010 2:10:27 PM |

So then who cares. He gets the excitement of scoring a touchdown his parents are thrilled and everyone thinks its great. Jesus what a bunch of condescending assholes. 9/28/2010 2:12:01 PM |

I don't really see it as being condescended to, granted I'm not in the same situation so I can't really vouch differently.
I would say I'd feel pretty happy just knowing that there are that many people made an attempt to make it happen. 9/28/2010 2:12:38 PM |

someone should have nailed him to give him the "full experience" of football. 9/28/2010 2:14:30 PM |

I'm not inspired or anything, but I didn't think the video was bad. If he really sucked, it would be awful. Like if he was carrying the ball with his arms outstretched in front of his body...
But the kid's got moves. I don't know how to put this politely...but whatever, if he played on a team with other kids who had Down's syndrome, I think he would get him some TDs. 9/28/2010 2:19:20 PM |

Unsportsmanlike conduct - excessive celebration. 15 yard penalty assessed on the kickoff. 9/28/2010 3:01:26 PM |

Only drawback I see from shit like this is that every parent with a kid with Downs is going to put them on a sports team and ask the coaches to let them score a touchdown in a blowout. This could slow down a Friday night at a large school with good-sized mentally handicapped population. 9/28/2010 4:00:47 PM |
