Boy's Inspirational Touchdown

[HEELKris]

What an ugly retard LMAO

[music14501]

This was Matt's moment in the sun.

[UnclePipweed]

what a spaz. why do we let disabled losers like him live? hes just a burden on society and a disgrace to mankind. hes pathetic

[music14501]

@UnclePipweed Well we let assholes like you live.

[UnclePipweed]

@music14501 yeh but im more important to the world than any disabled person will ever be. disabled people just ruin the image of mankind

[StephonWallace]

I would've tackled him. Not because he had down syndrome, but because he's the ball carrier

[AroundSun]

I bet their team stinks

[WTFisadeeto]

i WOULD of LOVED to see this happen at the superbowl

such a HUGE event and when your favorite team is losing,you get a down syndrome kid to win the whole superbowl and have the opposite team try soo hard to catch him HAHAHAHAHAHA

[modestrogue26]

This is all wrong. What were the coaches thinking? This is a competition! Nothing in the world is more important than competition. Competition is everything. The game means more than people's feelings and their lives. It's all about the GAME. It's all about COMPETITION. Nothing else matters. They had the chance to shut this team out and they let this kind of thing happen... What a travesty! (sarcasm)

[MsMamabear42]

It takes a village to raise a Child* this boy is well on his way to becoming an outstanding citizen of his community, thanks to all the love and support of his friends and family.And those leaving the asinine comments.Shame on you.I've worked with Down Syndrome people and they'r more extraordinay than many "normal" people hope to be.You've completely missed the point here.It's about the efforts of many to help one feel a sense of normalcy in a community.Goal achieved.He's clearly loved by many.

[EBHERNANDEZ7]

I just hope he never knows about youtube.com.....Down Syndrome doesn't mean you are dumb...he will see this video one day and realize it was all a set up

[rjflesher]

24 people have no idea what sportsmanship is

[Ferrari7872]

no matter who has the ball you gotta tackle him

[PatriciaDeanRevenge]

TERARD

[MsMamabear42]

@PatriciaDeanRevenge You are SUCH an ass

[PatriciaDeanRevenge]

@MsMamabear42 why am i SUCH an ass?

[MsMamabear42]

@PatriciaDeanRevenge If seemed that your jokster spelling was a bit on the derogatory side...if you didn't mean it that way, then I aplogize

[SocialOutsider]

I would have tackeld the shit out of him, what the fuck are they gonna do about it? It's still game time and if he's running with the ball he's fair game.

[bobbykerschner]

God, I love how they cut off Matt's response in the worst part of it. And they made a news story on pitying a person with a disability? Wow the news people are so fucking awesome, they asked for his autograph. Godddddd. The over sensitivity in this country is sending us backwards

[charliemarkowen]

@bobbykerschner why so negative?

[MsMamabear42]

@bobbykerschner The media isn't the story here, everyone knows how they hype,the REAL story is that this boy belongs to a community that DOES show sensitivity and compassion for one of their own,who knows, much like Temple Grandon with her autism,she's now a University Prof,maybe THIS boy will become a Teacher someday. Down Syndrome is NOT retardaion. They have the capabilty to learn and be QUITE self sufficient, and with that support from friends and family, he stands a very good chance of that

[xtremesports348]

Good for Matt and my brother has down syndrome too

[pacmanjones100]

i would of have kicked that retards gimpy ass with a jackhammer if i had the chance, fuck that

[LickableElbows]

@pacmanjones100 go to fucking hell if u did that i would ripp off ur helmet and beat the living crap out of u until u died

[pacmanjones100]

@LickableElbows why would you want to defend retards?

[MsMamabear42]

@pacmanjones100 Why are YOU such a retard? Those who make derogatory comment in regards to those who have disabilities, are the true handicaps of the world. Downs Syndrome does not mean entirely mentally challenged...theyhave the capabitlity to learn, and live pretty darn close to normal lives with some supervision. You're a real piece of work in a most pathetic way

[MsMamabear42]

@LickableElbows You belong in the corrall with all of the other ASSHOLES. A total waste of  space and a terrible excuse for a human being and an embarrassment .

[MsMamabear42]

@pacmanjones100 You kiss you're Mother with that mouth? I hope you never have kids,or better yet,Maybe God will bless you with a down syndrome child and force you to learn very important lifes lessons

[pacmanjones100]

@MsMamabear42 if i ever had a retard for a kid id kill it :(

[MsMamabear42]

@pacmanjones100 ...A pity, your Parents didn't spare the world of losers and shitheads by eliminating you at birth

[pacmanjones100]

@MsMamabear42 what is your problem ? why do you feel the need to say such hurtful things to me ?

[MsMamabear42]

@pacmanjones100 Seriously? You actually feel warrented to ask that question? For starters, I apologized for the first comment, and then you go and say you'd kill a child of yours if it were born with Down Syndrome? Oh, I don't know..think about it. If you had been born that way, would YOUR family cast you aside, or would they do everything possible to ensure as normal a life for you ? Karma is a real bitch.You could have an accident tonight, and wake up tomorrow with brain damage

[pacmanjones100]

@MsMamabear42 you're an asshole dude

[jackbarney1]

I wouldn't have tackled him, but I would have poked the ball out, grapped it and scored a touchdown. This way I woud have been on CNN. The story would have been about the asshole of the year, but at least I would have been on TV.

[Gameathoner]

I personally think it's not the best idea to do that sort of thing. Something about it just seems wrong to me. Like what if he found out somehow? How do you think that would make him feel?

I also feel like people do it just to make themselves feel better about themselves. Of course, I usually assume the worst of everyone.

[benww1]

watch?v=YuS3_CJ8oT0&feature=re­lated for HD version

[bgrd2001]

Im sorry I pray that this kid lives a healthy life with this disease. But that said I am a competitive person. I would have been a little annoyed.

[Najua340]

IT WAS GREAT ON THE COACHES BEHALF TO GO TO THE OPPOSING TEAM, AND LET THE KID SCORE,AM SURE HE`S NEVER GONNA FORGET IT,GOOD MOVE COACH,FOR EVERYBODY THAT POSTED NEGATIVE COMMENTS GO F-YOURSELVES AS PEOPLE WE SHOULD TRY TO GET TO KNOW PEOPLE WITH D.S. INSTEAD OG MAKING FUN OF THEM

[Xantrucious]

Not trying to be mean or anything but I mean LOOK AT THEM THEY WEREN'T EVEN TRYING!!! It's only "inspirational" because he has a mental illness. If anyone else had done it, it would've just been a NORMAL game. I'm sick of people contradicting themselves telling normal people like us that they're to be treated equal but then pull some shit like this. If it was me I would've tackled his ass. THAT would have been him being treated equal

[kermit6510]

I wonder if he got drafted?

[AC130EMPYREAL]

that's awesome. crazy to think we humans used to torture and kill victims who were retarded in the belief of demonized spirits and crap and now we understand and care for these unique people. i love science and these people

[BulldogofBergen1]

It's funny cause he's a fuckin retard.

[YayBolbee]

@BulldogofBergen1 your the biggest douche bag ever. Hes not retarted he has down syndrome. if you were born with it and got made fun of every day of your life by douche bags like you im sure you would understand. go burn in hell.

[BulldogofBergen1]

@YayBolbee

"He's not retarded he has down syndrome."

Wow this is fucking immaculate. Let me explain this to you nice and slow. Down syndrome is a form of mental retardation. In case you're bad with words, I'll put this in simpler terms in hopes that you can understand this.

Down Syndrome=A mental retard

If you have any questions concerning this elementary concept, please feel free to comment back.

Have a nice day.

[Brofessionalss]

@BulldogofBergen1 Your spelling doesn't prove a point.

[BulldogofBergen1]

@Brofessionalss

Oh really? Well I'm just so heart broken.

[lovesjuicycouture]

i mean seriously people its great you made him feel special and that did look very real but i just feel bad for the kid tha people actually started asking for his autograph.. i think they went a little to far but at least it made him smile

[fleanx04]

Don't want to sound like a jerk, but that was all fake. Honestly. "Thats special for the kid" its all a lie.

[reedpen1216]

I'd rather get an autograph from Matt instead of Justin Bieber.

[YippieKaey]

TOUCHDOWNS-SYNDROME ;D

[YayBolbee]

@YippieKaey thats not funny.

[mnutt12]

How is this inspiring? They just let him score. I could see if he worked hard and became a role player or something, this is just a pity score.

[machiavelli414]

WTF THEY LET HIM SCORE LMAO WEAK SHIT

[MrIhaveacat]

@machiavelli414 how so?

[ChristSIayer666]

of course it's gotta be a scripted touchdown if this fucking mong can score one, you shouldn't be nice to people just because they have an extra chromosome. Fuck, a chimpanzee has 2 more than us and we don't treat them like people, so what the fuck is going on here.

[thebread9]

This gave me a feel.. A feely feel you only feel when you get the feel..

[jarheadz96]

@thebread9 I...I know that feel.

[ItsMySexyLooks]

SHUT THE FUCK PEOPLE>>> THIS BOY HAS MORE HeaRT THAN ANY OF UU WHORES...no but seriously that was funny.:(0 :)

[exodia3k3]

I respect the other team and their coaches for letting this happen. I am sure this kid will never forget this day.:) Awesome!

[KC816VB]

what? they didn't put him on special teams

[dylanbongers]

They let him score the touchdown haha

[ImperialDovahkiin]

i honestly think that the fact that the only way i could score is if everyone else didnt try would make me feel worse

[l33tfights]

im pretty sure that was staged the other teem wasnt even moving hardly

[friendlycakeasaurus]

@l33tfights did you even watch the video? the coach called a time out and asked the other team's HC to direct his defense to not try to stop him and they agreed, they were up 46-0, wins where you hold the opponent scoreless like that are rare accomplishments in every sport and they voluntarily gave it up in the spirit of sportsmanship

[l33tfights]

@friendlycakeasaurus no

[jamiewashy]

@l33tfights did you not lissen... they let him get it...

[l33tfights]

@jamiewashy noo0o0o0o0o shitth ithtithittttt

[TheTePope]

not as good as Tebow's

[otumoetaipat]

they mean well but it is soo patronizing

[silvertips337]

Whoever disliked this must have no heart

[82iii]

It's the white version of Radio.

[TheKjones91]

whats the point of building character if he's going to be sweeping buses and cleaning a 7/11?

[maldoman23]

@TheKjones91 your an asshole

[TheKjones91]

@maldoman23 I prefer realist

[CommitToFocus]

I would have spear tackled 6 feet into the ground. Get a job you're good at, like licking stamps or moving pianos.

[ripcurlripper]

Run a 'special play' O.o

[NelsonWhalers29]

i want to see that kids signature...

[xOSAMAx69x]

gay



[6425sparky]

I would of tackled his ass lmao then take an arrow to the knee

[beeftothetaco]

@6425sparky OMG UR SO FUNY AND ORIGNAL

[SuperAnnoyingtroll]

@beeftothetaco U MAD?

[apachiedelta1]

@6425sparky that joke is getting old bro, its like a yo momma joke, its getting old

[iSexyFrog]

1:22

"Can I have your autograph?!"

"SHORE!"

[holyinator]

im happy they did this for the kid but i think the other team probably could have run a bit faster lol.

[princessjayzee25]

It's not so much that wow he touch down, it's more for the kid. It's to make himself feel better. It's a really sweet gesture. He probably felt amazing. I volunteer at our school special Olympics and it's so wonderful to see how a simple thing like a touch down can brighten up their faces.

[GoldenMoses]

This is Stupid just cause he has Down syndrome, Don't get me wrong I feel bad for the kid but how is it inspirational? It's not like the syndrome is going to cause his life to become hell. DS does not mean you can't function like a normal person...this is BS

[frankprevlo]

Sorry buy this is stupid... Anyone can make a touchdown in football, just because a person with down syndrome magically makes a touchdown, doesn't make him more special then the other players lol...

[hellomynameisswagful]

he was like duhhhhhhhhhh hahah

[wrathsy13]

i swear all american football players have down's syndrome anyway.. 

[friedchicken187]

Isn't that kinda patronizing?

[campcuba]

Lol I'm going to hell for this but I find it hilarious o ya just let the retarded kid get a touch down

[94d15civic]

@campcuba Im going to hell for laughing at your comment.

[hellomynameisswagful]

@94d15civic hahaha

[KesselnLeafs]

He ran faster than most fuckin obese kids here in North America. Im proud of him :)

[Edonbelay]

@ MmaNcovers I don't understand your comments. What are you basing this on?

[JonestownHangover]

Wow! He ran with the ball down the field and into the endzone. What an extraordinary individual. Give this man a medal.

[twinmom659]

The reporters aren't being assholes, they are trying to make him feel excited and like a true rock star. He may already know that they let him, but he doesn't care because all he wanted to do is play. That's it. For those uneducated people about PEOPLE with Down Syndrome; they have mental retardation, they are not "retarded" in the way you think. They are not stupid or dumb. They are people who just learn a little bit slower then the rest, but that does not mean they are dumb or can't do it!!

[twinmom659]

@twinmom659 Also, the reason being there is special olympics and such is not only because they may not all be up to super star status, but they love to just play the game, something a lot of people forget. But they also have physical reasons as to why they can't play with the "norms". For people with Down Syndrome they have low muscle tone and some have a neck disorder that prevents them from going full contact because they could break their neck.

[BigCogsHD]

@twinmom659 People with down syndrome have physical disabilities too, not just mental disabilities.

[LongLiveWho]

reporters are asshole, but nice story!

[noobhealz402]

This is why there are leagues made for retards and retards alone... they can't play at a normal level because they're retarded. I'm not being an asshole, i'm being logical and realistic. You can say i'm an asshole or need to fucking die, that's your opinion, but let me finish mine. Retards can't do shit because they're retarded... i'm not talking about people who have adhd or mild autism, but full blown down syndrome and other illnesses's that make you incredibly retarded.

[HarrisonVR]

@noobhealz402 you've got a fair point, I see exactly where you're coming from, but you're wording it all wrong with 'fucking retarded' etc. but yeah you're right, that's why they have special Olympics etc.

[noobhealz402]

@HarrisonVR Never used the word "fucking".

[storkofcoure96]

It was nice but, kind of insulting to matt by questioning his physical ability

[rabin456456]

thats amazing he ran really fast

[CK9041]

honestly they might have had good intentions but that is just wrong.. He WILL find out they let him have the touchdown and honestly that would make anyone, including me, feel like shit. I'd rather put my shoulder down and get trucked running the ball then have some dipshits run along side me while the other team stands there and practically laughs, es[ecially when that cunt asks for an autograph. People these days...

[robxlindy02]

my brother has down syndrome and this just made my day.

[UndercoverCracker]

That is beautiful.

[TheABCmen]

Heres another word that a lot of people get called

FAT

Do we do anything about it? not that ive ever seen

[UndercoverCracker]

@TheABCmen You can change being fat you dumbass. You can't change this!

[Zombievomit]

I AM THE WEREWOLF! I LIKE TO MAKE WEREWOLF MOVIES!

[fyafyta13]

I would have taken his head off. Treat him normal for once in his life.

[UndercoverCracker]

@fyafyta13 You are dense. Besides people with down syndrome are extra strong.

[slapmesilly99]

Good for him

[amazingman40]

Wow you people are so heartless

[MrAbortionClinic]

What the fuck, sort of a lousy ordeal.

[hellooooooo794]

grow up spastic

[hellooooooo794]

fuckin criple get a life

[Garycubfan]

The few individuals I know that have Down syndrome brighten my day each and every time I talk with them. They are always in a positive mood and smiling. The sun shines a little brighter in their world. I consider myself fortunate to be their friend.

[fishoutofwaters2]

theres a flag on the play

[FinalFightPkz]

ok human lizard

[PerkyMcPerkypants]

My favorite pet is my hamster Ninny. He can't compete versus other high schools because he weighs 4 ounces, but I managed to convince an opposing coach in a meet where we were being outscored 83-0 to let their 223 pound heavyweight to throw a match to him. Ninny was all over that wrestler. He didn't just win on points, he fucking pinned him. Ninny was all "I'm on top of your looking for food" and the human wrestler was all "my coach has made me lose this match so I'll pretend I lost".

[MrTank116]

i remember seeing an autistic kid in basketball put in the 4th quarter because they were down by a ton and wanted the kid to have some spotlight, and he dropped 12 3pointers on the other team leading his team to the playoffs. i will never forget that day

[BigCogsHD]

@MrTank116 You're an idiot. You must be thinking of Jason McElwain, kid dropped 6 3 pointers, did not lead his team to the play offs, and you were not there...but he was autistic.

[MrTank116]

@BigCogsHD no lol it happened at ps 187 in NY lmao. chill the fuck out know it all xD. nigga u dont even know me.

[jhaul21]

gay

[TheCavalierairsoft]

wtf

[SMCCrunningback]

hell yeah white running back and autistic WOOHOOOOOOO

[moonmonkey4589]

what the fuck guys? you guys are so low making fun of a person trying to live his life with a couple problems?screw you let him be happy and live

[NIKE2397]

yo it would have been better if the other team trucked his shit

[philyB08]

I hope it made him very happy :D

[supermike615]

He'd retarded.  For real.

[texasrangerskimble]

Why do they let retards play football its a dangerous sport he could get hurt

[t2vanden]

@texasrangerskimble

He may have a learning disability, but his bones aren't made of glass. He shows up every day to practice so he might as well get a chance to run a play. You should know that.

[largesatsuma]

What is the point in that kid playing football? That was just embarrassing to watch

[BoyntonFootball]

@largesatsuma whats the point of you making fun of him? that was just embarrassing to read

[largesatsuma]

@BoyntonFootball Very clever.

[BoyntonFootball]

@largesatsuma youre a smartass



[LeeHarveyOswald6]

What a nice touchDOWN

[sevt79]

make fun of him, and i will find you, wait till you have children and rape them.

[khmoney2021]

This just strokes his retard ego further, no one was trying. He needs to learn how to hang in the real world, he is an awful running back. This is what is wrong with America.

[popsizl]

that awkward moment when the kids finds this video on youtube....

[jaraha]

"You can sign it wherever you want."

"Bitch please, I'm retarded I'm not stupid."

[johnerlive]

I want his auto-graph

[forge229]

retard strength!

[yogadogs1]

Weird!!

[Zombievomit]

Translation: "YAY PUDDING!"

[nyker07]

I can't stand it when people act overly nice and totally BS just because they feel bad for someone. Letting him score a TD is giving him false hope that he can be something he isn't. I would be even more pissed if someone pretended I was doing good but actually sucked. I prefer reality.

[mossyncamo]

@nyker07 ur obviously a cock suck, its giving him hope, his brain doesn't work like yours, Why not big him up, he works hard like the rest of the team, And ud be pissed but you don't have downs. All he knows is he got a touchdown, why not put a smile on the kids face. Is it hurting you. Your a piece of shit. Period.

[xxstickmanxx20]

@nyker07 He just wanted to be part of the team thats all.. he didnt care if he got that touchdown or not. Its just he got the chance too.

[xXxXBleedPurpleXxXx]

@nyker07 are you a child with special needs? do you have a child with special needs? do you have brothers... sisters... cousins.. with special needs? sometimes building character is more important, so they gave him confidence, wooooah big crime. ugh get over it.

[supernoodle121]

wow. i was at best buy like a couple days ago and there was a kid who had down syndrome and he was cute! (n.h) he was like dad what does this thing do. 

[denzacjohnnick]

i dont get how its a joke i think its cool 

[CountryGirls1288]

I love Matt he is amazing.!(: He is an awsome person !!

[NIKEfootballR]

Theres no other feeling in the world like scorin a touchdown

[MrDopegamer]

@NIKEfootballR tell me about it especially a one handed catch you feel like you can do anything

[MmaNcovers]

this is the biggest practical joke someone could play on this poor kid.... SOme might think its a nice thing to do, but i find it sad and heartbreaking and deceiving. Fuckin ass hole reporters asking for his autograph.

[prankbrothers]

@MmaNcovers watch?v=YuS3_CJ8oT0&feature=re­lated

[emptysoul189]

@MmaNcovers well wtf bro. Everyone complains about how they are not involved enough in the community and in this case "normal" sports that everyone gets to do. So then they allow him to run a play out of the kindness of there hearts because this boy enjoys the sport with a true passion. So what do you really want? you complain about how this is a joke and how they should be involved but when they do you think this is a joke? make up your mind.

[Over9000producttionz]

Love this story, gives me hope in humanity. Football is about respect and pride, the other time that let him score had pride in their win, and respected the other coach.

[orion8138]

omg they fucking suck!

[jimga267]

I Was never good at sports, but always played as hard as I could. Once a bunch of my friends set up a play so that I would score the winning soccer goal in a skins and shirts game.

When I scored they cheered and cheered. It felt wonderful. When they told me we all laughed. Though I felt a little sheepish, I appreciated all the trouble they went to.

I bet the boy's TD made he and his dad very happy and loved, to know 2 teams cared enough to set up this play.

[seangeraghty4]

UR RETARDED . HAHAHAHAHAHAHA

[Mcscooterscot]

@seangeraghty4 Come on man hes got down syndrome not cool this is an awesome thing to do

[BrawlOfDuty]

@seangeraghty4 People like you make me question if a world wide genocide would actually help the planet.

[maincourseistoocool]

if u make fun of him your a coward
