For any of yall that haven't seen it, here is the video.

It took me about 45 minutes for it to open on my oh so slow dial up, but it was worth it....I cried like a baby!!:D

After watching that video, it reminded me of my j.v. year. We were playing Altus, Ok and the defensive end in front of me was a handicap student. After the game the altus coach and the kid came up me and the strong side gaurd, I played strong tackle, and thanked us for not takuing it easy on him as other teams would. He explained to us that the kid loves to play, of course everyone has seen the movie Rudy, the coach explained that the kid would treat every practice as a game just as Rudy would. The kid told us that he loved not being left out and taking easy on. After that game I had a new respect for coaches that would let a player play no matter what handicaps or disabilities so he can feel as just as a healthy human would.

If it doesn't put the kid's health at further risk, I'm all for it...

The kid, I wish I remembered his name, had no health problems he had something wrong with the his loegs when he was younger and his legs did not develop right. Like in Forest Gump when he had to wear those metal supports on his legs.
