Team Hoyt - Dick and Rick Hoyt

[xpznicke]

63 people are idiots

[bongoloid101]

@Nabolzi but if they gained the ability to do it through their belief, then you are the dipshit

[chikabayless]

this is a courageous man I wish I had a dad like him.

[LordWhorfinX2]

If all fathers acted like this....imagine the world then.

[vazelas13]

This Father is a true HERO!This video can only do people better.I love my father.Dick Hoyt you are my HERO!!

[grim1212]

who ever disliked this video has serious issues.

[Melodiousounds]

Every now and then the character and love of God shines through humanity...

[poroptical]

Thank you Team Hoyt !

You give inspiration to me !

I Respect You

[josiahsworld02]

i was a new father with a step son and my dad sent me this to give me hope when the stress of being a father was hitting me hard and when i seen this my world changed and to know that no matter what i will always push harder to be the best dad i can be and to never let anything stand in the way of me loving my son nathan! God bless you guys josiah youngbloodfor nathan Reed love you son

[TheXambis]

Who the fuck press the dislike buttom on this video-story???My GOD!!

[buckstone2]

These guys inspired me to run my first marathon. I made a video of me running Athens Marathon while quoting some inspirational Scripture. See me channel.

[jair7inho]

so touching and motivating video...we all think that our problems are the worst, but when you look at this, it's hard not to cry and realize that they are actually small...I'll give up smoking, just because I CAN !!!

[tinkerigorot]

i always come back to watch the video... i always cry and motivate me to be better and stay on the game... thanks

[The7Wordz]

What a way to take a disability and turn it into a connection. I feel sorry for all the kids whose parents are not half as dedicated as Dick.

[nathaliefransisca]

even though I already knew their story, every time I see their videos I always cry. Rick's faces in the finish line really2 touch my heart. The power of father's love to his son. GREAT!

[TheDixieLeeChick]

The power and strentgh of Love is so encourging!

[007AceRanger]

:')

[spaceruriel]

waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaay moving!!!!!!!!! Bless you eternaly forever! I am here: youtube.com/user/spaceruriel  (ALSO) YOUTUBE: SuperDrees

[nothinevenmatters]

Every time I see this Father and Son...I'm speechless. These two people are beyond this world of comprehension...

[Nabolzi]

all these faggots draw their god into this no god didnt do it THEY did it, fucking dipshits

[bigbiggio7]

One thing not mentioned here is that Dick had a heart attack during one their events. He recovered and the doc told him if he wasn't in such good shape (because of Rick's enjoyment of running and competing) that he would have died.

[GRMEGISTOS]

oh my god, how small i am...

[suckcucker]

wow.. what a father what a son.. make me so proud and ashamed at the same time.. God bless themx

[Hadesminion13]

@shydeslo3 Hey! Nobody should be touching you in many different ways, be it God or anyone else! On a serious note, of course not all fathers are like him, in fact almost no fathers are like him, mine included.

@ivandiryana No offense, but it shouldn't take a video to get you to stop smoking for your son, but bravo for quitting none-the-less.

[Turbinakalanga2]

they must be related to Chuck Norris.

[TheDrummerboi94]

This is so motivational and inspirational (Y)

[shydeslo3]

Not all fathers are like him...they are such an inspiration together...I cried again for the third time that I watched this video...GOD can really touch us in many different ways...and this video is just one of them...

[kabuki202]

i have seen this video a lot of times but it never has stopped to tell me that God is always there, when i think that i'm down and out God always carries me in his arms, runs with me, and embraces me and tells me "Son you can never imagine how much i love you, and how much i care about you, i am always by your side." Father God i just want to say thank you and i love you, words can't express how much i want to say to you but one thing is for sure I AM PROUD TO BE CALLED YOUR SON

[livemealone1]

Damn onions!

[AldoNovenza]

why there are still dislikes in this video?

Dont u get it?

This is one of the BEST VIDEO EVER !!

I watched this over and over and i just cant hold my tears..

[xmaixmaixmai]

WOW!! What a nice family they are!!

[MultiKatattack]

OMG, I am balling

[2012CharlieBoy]

Those who hit dislike, are those who just give up. Go Hoyt, go!

[dolcenike]

How you can dislike this?:) THIS IS A LESSON FOR EVERYONE!

[TheWhitewhirlwind]

How in the world does this only have 2 million views when dozens of retarded music videos are 100 million plus? This is one of the most inspirational and moving videos on YouTube.

[boredguyccfc]

63 people disliked because they only wish their heart was a fraction the size of this father's.

[SelfImprovementClips]

Really inspiring video... I'm really touched by everything that the father has did for his son... Along with his huge courage and determination and "never say die" spirit and attitude...

[unknownblogger25]

Speechless and dumbfounded. No words to describe how I feel after watching this video.

[sundaypig2003]

好美的故事 , 希望那位父親可以健康著陪伴著兒子 , 創造更多不同的奇蹟 ..

[Baddestchik911]

Who don't cry to this is one heartless mofo. This is such inspiration and if they can overcome these obstacles despite the adversity and disabilities they give hope to everyone else.

[urnotalone38]

crying , so insperational! God bless this duo!

[brusnica123]

damn....



[StojShaHDTV]

God bless you!

[marcusFOREVER]

He has the same voice as Stephen Hawking...

Sorry I will go to Hell for this :D

This man is a real hero!

[angel1234rocks]

this is a sad thing i just heard about this tho): but i heard about this in school today and watch this video in class and one other one!! but this was a sad show

[Lizard9075]

"God Bless" Team Hoyt

[kimberL1994]

Seriously, 63 dislikes??? Some people are heartless.

[Trondoc]

This is the single most inspiring video I have ever seen.

[bigsurfrider]

"Dick and Rick" God bless you Both!! I look up to you Both, i've just started doing triathalons, you Both have the heart of Lions and kings, too Both do what you have done!! I will never look at life in the same way.. Well Done Boys!!!! Go Team Hoyt!!!! It would be fantastic to meet you both, you really are two people that have changed my world!!!!

[cpstrawnrn]

Before you were conceived I wanted you. Before you were born I loved you. Before you were here a moment I would die for you.

Team Mom

[urnotalone38]

@cpstrawnrn

amen...

[txx700]

something worth watching for. a touching story :')

[TheWillFromAgesAgo14]

63 people have no compassion.

[3LionsEngland11]

True dedication. What an amazing story. Wish them all the best for the future

[levvgonz]

wow what an amazing father he is to his son. a beautiful story.

[BillyHo23uk]

Balling my eyes out in the office! Team Hoyt! Amazing!

[coolman102490]

Very inspiring and uplifting story. 66 years old doing an iron man marathon while carrying his 110 pound son. While the 110 pound son that has cerebral palsy & graduated from Boston university. I must say the Hoyt family is an incredible family.

[Nutank1]

It is about time I find some good news in this terrible world full of bad news.

[mcalexxa]

You are a hero and still running!  What a wonderful life.

[SuperOscar777]

Suck my dick silly!!

[wkhan724]

Not gonna lie, I cried.

[XaliexRS]

@wkhan724 I tried to hold it back, but geez..

[silly0981]

gay

[tepc90]

@silly0981 you don't have a family, loner.

[Keissa1024]

@silly0981 u dont have a heart!!... debes pegarte un tiro!!!

[USMCCombatGurl]

This is beautiful !

[rawc44]

what douche bags dislike this......... ??

[MancTommo]

incredible... and after constantly seeing so much cruelness in this world, just what I needed to see and hear... much love to your family

[ivandiryana]

I give up smoking because of this. It is hard thing to do, but if Dick can do what he did for his son...I can stop smoking for my son.

[emanmkhan1]

Now thts true father-son love! May Allah bless them :-)

[Masteroiece]

I also have the best father in the world!!!

[toocoolsujo]

@bobsmedoggy

Also pray for the Dad, he is the one who needs more strength....

[SelfImprovementClips]

A really, really motivational and wonderful video... So touching that tears streamed down from my eyes while I was watching it... The dad's love for his son is something that I have full respect for... Huge thumbs up for this really touching video!

Sincerely

Alex Quinn

[Bonetti333]

If this video doesn't make you tear up, you don't have a pulse.

[miguelangdl]

62 people pressed thumbs down by accident.

[MrZackkane]

this was a great video and very inspirational

[lewiswilkins2002]

im on team umbilical chord

[femaleintelligent1]

Dear Heavenly Father,

Please let me love and parent my children more like Dick Hoyt. And please bless both Dick and Rick Hoyt with Thy choicest blessings and save them an especially glorious place in heaven.

In the name of Jesus Christ - our Lord and Savior,

Amen.

[TeamRenesmee101]

Wow he is a great father. This inspired me so much to do anything! If he can do it so can I. This video gave me that extra boost to get going and follow through with my dreams.

[Bersekersito]

Como hay personas que siguen aprobando la eutanasia, que no se dan cuenta de que Dios tiene a esas personas en este mundo, para que los que vivimos cerca de ellos les mostremos nuestro amor y cariño, y no solamente eso, sino que ellos nos pueden llenar de tanto el corazon, en un mutuo Amor. No creo que este sea el unico padre que daria todo por su hijo, asi como él hay millones, pero con diferentes situaciones.El amor entre padre e hijo debe ser inmenso desde que uno nace hasta que el otro parte

[moeinak]

I guess the people who dislike this video are fathers that have no emotion for their families :)

[bunduche]

Impresionant



[GioAndrei1]

I love my Father. And I'm from the Philippines!

[monalisarendoque]

this is what humanity is all about.. .compassion and love.

[JuliowNz]

Sí señor, con 2 cojones. Esta gente es la que vale la pena.

[infernus9876]

My brother has the same condition, yet me, and my parents do the best we possibly can to give him the life he deserves :) im very proud of dick for doing this, Speechlessly proud :')

[kerplunkboy]

Am I the only one here feeling like "I really a piece of shit!"?

[Nikon05]

@PhantomAgony333 lol, sure thing retard

[jake84431]

prayer doesn't always change the way things are but it gives me the assurance that somebody alot bigger than I cares about me and that I have a future with Him.

what an inspiration this story is and what an example of my heavenly Father and how He loves us so much that he sent His Son to buy me back, to redeem me and that is something to shout about.

[batfan1sarah]

@bobsmedoggy that's a really nice thought, and i'm sure you have the best of intentions saying this, but no amount of prayer is going to magically cure cerebral palsy, and i think he's happy just the way he is - this video was not to make you feel sorry for him and want to change his situation, it's to show that you can be happy with the cards you're dealt with enough love and support.

[mamaderosita]

I think God did give Rick full capacity, healing and strength already.

[JamesJerzak]

I love how rick smiles makes me cry :') 

[soldierfront03050]

almost lost it at 4:50

[bobs800]

this is life changing , god bless you both.

[moyale2003]

WHAT A FATHER GOOD BLESS YOU MAN

[TheJellybeene]

If I took one message from this video, it was "I CAN". For all the times I thought life was too hard, for all the times I gave up on my dreams.... I realize now that if Team Hoyt can, I CAN! I can achieve my dreams! I CAN succeed! I CAN reach my fullest potential! My challenges are naught compared to theirs. I CAN!!! And YOU CAN!!!!

[ItalianRacer7]

I am not a Father, not yet anyway, and all I can say is that if I am able to show half the amount of love and humanity that Dick has shown, I will consider myself a good Father. He is an inspiration and I am not ashamed to say I cried. He is a great man and I hope all of his efforts some day pay off in the form of a cure for the disease his poor son suffers from.

God Bless !

[Tokkker]

This is the first time I have ever cried for a movie or a clip. This man is a hero, an inspiration to everyone. If I could meet any person in the world, I would choose Dick everytime. He has to be one of the most incredible humanbeings on the planet.

[vianji]

If fathers in this world had just an once of Dick's love for there children i can only imagine how different the world would be... You guys are a true inspiration though i myself never experienced having a father or my daughter but i was blessed with a great mom and I'm a great mom but i can only imagine how wonderful it would be to have a father like Dick... Rick your one lucky kid.... Inspiring...

[0oXtr3meo0]

this man is a hero and this is real love!

he has my biggest respect

[murielhtoo]

This is not the first time I watch this video and it still makes me cry.

I really thank God that I am here to witness that there is still a man like Dick to show others what really matters in this world: "LOVE"

[1baratone]

Godbless ^L^ Wonderful wonderful xoxox

[Feff333]

That's what I call true dedication and love.

[GotMeDaBlues]

I first learned about Team Hoyt on a video we watched at my triathlon class - incredible. I can only hope to be half the father Dick is.

[barkingtaco]

This is sooooo amazing I cried watching this

[mairtin77]

Just incredible! Beannacht Dé oraibh!

[Build2Run]

How can 61 people dislike this? they dislike a father giving his son everything when all seemed to have been lost? Dick Hoyt is a hero and its an amazing life of dedication and living his sons life for his son! Truly inspirational!

[JMCKMUSIC1]

That's just amazing! How can we complain about our shitty day to day problems when these guys have overcome so much. Beyond inspiring.

[TonyVerheij]

Dick Hoyt already did this when there weren't people cheering him on. I bet they tried to stop him entering a race with his son, it was against the rules. I'm so glad that he followed through, so thankfull for his perseverance, because otherwise we might have never found out if some people stick to what they know and keep following the rules! What we witness here is sheer selflessness. Rick has overcome so much, done so much and became a rollmodel for others with disabillities. THANKS SO MUCH!!!

[megawawa55]

Bring a box of tissues

[Crumbleberry]

How could anyone dislike this?

[makquil13]

@Crumbleberry - because they don't have father who can do such thing for them :p

[Firstascents]

@Crumbleberry exactly my thoughts! this is probably the greatest story I have ever heard

[ultimate157]

@Crumbleberry Because they cried and are ashamed. I'm not ashamed to admit I was moved to tears.

[stnick702]

Watch The fathers face at the end of the race, he truly does it ALL for his sons Happiness, incredible. This is a small glimpse of HUMANITY in its most purest form-LOVE. Thank you to both Hoyt MEN, who show what can be achieved when operating from a place of LOVE and not FEAR. Congratulations on a LIFE well lived, to the both of you.

[traiphumi]

I love you DAD

[Acrazypitbull]

Wow -- imagine what we can do if we only set our minds to it!

Tears in my eyes! Beautiful story!

[ItsTheRealMusicMan]

Brings tears to my eyes when I haven't cried in years. Amazing..

[dharmacidal]

if this is how man loves his children how much more so will God love his children

[hoangduc9003]

61 people is bad dad

[edosbeat]

A.2.M.4.E.2.N.1.N

Excellent

[lawyal]

I wanna wear a team Hoyt dogtag to remind me myself is a father of two young boys. salute to you, mr Hoyt!

[noahah2227]

another great movie about them is /watch?v=rLROStmpWGQ&feature=f­eedlik

[DJTranceparent]

As a Father of 2 I was very touched by this story as almost all of you were. Hopefully we can all be half the father Mr. Hoyt was to his son. That is the only legacy that is left after we are gone, and if you think of your own family, you know how strong this can be. Now go out there and love your children!

[PrettyLilTeine684]

Such An Amazing Father nd Son Story..there story really did touch me..watching dis video jus made me cry..God Bless Them Both..

[Bigmanghs03]

ID like to meet the dislikers of this video. To hear this man talk is something that is just INCREDIBLE. Its totally an act of sheer heroism just to compete and complete a marathon. Throw in the pushing of your son....AMAZING GOD BLESS......

[thedarkrouge]

@dionysius09 you are obviously stupid to believe that, and you are disgracing this guys name for saying what you did, you're saying he couldn't fucking do this without god? wow you're a prick, and he just proved you wrong cause he's been doing it everyday of his life. you call me the idiot cause you've held onto you're childlike tenancies to believe in something so much you don't even reason.God is grown-ups Santa Clause, you have to out grow it sometimes, most people only do when they die sadly

[jennifer64183]

i miss my dad :(

[jvamayo]

My teacher showed this to the class and we are 44 all of us cried because of these people because our topic was all about our fathers.

[epicmaddie]

[breathebliss]

[ramver]

You inspired me! You inspired me! I accept a big slap on my face. Your a true inspiration. God bless:)

[RayWilliamJohansen]

i almost cried when i saw the video about their story with the song "i can only imagine "

i dont like being in tough with myself cause only fags do that

but i was about to burst out crying like a little bitch

but then i saw the retarded guys face and then when neutral

[JonKinchIsLegit]

@RayWilliamJohansen mmmmm, 8=========D



[sopppa]

@RayWilliamJohansen hes not "retarded" the disfunction's only phisical, he probably is more inteligent than you.

[RayWilliamJohansen]

@sopppa

you spelled physical wrong buddy

[sopppa]

@RayWilliamJohansen mah inglish too bad

[Shadowstriker1218]

I'm sorry, correction: These MEN are absolute heroes.

[Shadowstriker1218]

I had tears in my eyes the entire video. This man is an absolute hero.

[chiyodon2011]

What is this song ?



[chiyodon2011]

What is this song ?

[Bballa11]

shame on every single person who disliked this

[dwebzy]

so nice... ♥

[FromCologne81]

i´ve never ever seen anything like this.i´m totally speechless about their story.greetings from germany.god bless you

[xXxsneakzxXx]

58 people never had a hero.

[AdlerBock]

I think the most inspiring thing about such people is that being physically disabled they achieve so much, and even more than many people who have great health and abilities to live without limitations. They are able to release their mind, find pleasure and enjoy living, what most people aren't capable of.

[kathleentheQuaker]

I am blessed with a wonderful giving healthy son. I am the one with a disability and every day I wake up and think, how can I be the best parent I can be? Sometimes I can barely go on, but my son and my unconditional love for him inspire me to fight for both of us. Thank you to both father and son for being such shining examples of unconditional love and its power to overcome! Bravo!

[andrwng]

AMAZING. i am totally speechless at the selflessness and love of this father for his son. The two of you are not just legends, but you are both going to have a REALLY special place in heaven ...

[freedomfighter4allu]

hoyt for president it is time to show the world the true usa . this somes up all that is great in this world

love peace freedom
