This video has recently gone viral on youtube.com, meaning it is getting LOTS of views.
A young freshman, 15 year old, Matt Ziesel is going to score a touchdown. A touchdown? Who cares, right? Well, you see, Matt has Down syndrome and even though he suits up for every game he has never gotten the chance to take to the field before this game.
His team was taking a whoopin'. The opposing team was ahead 46-0. In the final moments of the game, while the defense was in their last huddle, Matt's coach went over and asked if they would be willing to run a play that would ALLOW Matt to run in for a touchdown.
The coach agreed. And here is the end result, there are good people in this world. I love that you can hear everyone cheering Matt on as he runs in a 60+ yard touchdown.
