OK, seriously. To the kid that "lost" this match, that was a class act. I'm not sure how they planned this - or if it was even planned, but to instantly take the pin like that was awesome to watch. I wrestled in high school and I know guys who would pin Jared as soon as the whistle blew. I'm proud of both of these kids...

To all the negative commenters---You missed the important lessons that these two young humans presented--Compassion, love, acceptance, love, help, teaching, understanding, accomplishment......Perception­--these two youngsters gained more from the experience than winning or losing--like our overpaid "sports idols". They are both winners in my "book". We all are "winners" by having seen this teaching experience. Your negative comments speak for your values in life...

Guys... Jared is very educated, he is one of the most intelligent people I know, enough with the hate found your humanity open your eyes! All he wanted to do was get on the mat... No hate please..

OMG!! People! Why are people so freaking negative? I happen to have known Jared since pre-k (we're both in 7th grade) amd if you have nothing nice to say DON'T SAY A WORD! It's that simple! If you don't care about something you CERTAINLY don't commemt on it! End of discussion!
