Check out this video of Matt Ziesel, a freshman football player with Down syndrome, score a touchdown for his team.
With his team down 46-0, Matt's coach asked the rival high school team if they would let his player run a touchdown. The other players agreed, and Matt, who had never played in a game before, ran more than 60 yards to score six points for his team.
Sure, Matt's team lost; but both sides were thrilled that Matt had the opportunity to make such a successful season debut. And, of course, no one was happier than Matt.
What was your reaction when you watched the video?

That is awesome!!
That's so sweet. So many high school kids are mean to their special needs peers, it's amazing to see such kindness.
Way to go Matt!
I'm glad to see there's still some sportsmanship out there. That was a very decent thing to do.
