- An Ohio high school senior with Down syndrome who dreamed of playing football had his dream come true Friday night with help from the opposing team.
I applaud both coaches. They just gave their teams a life lesson bigger than football!!
TheGrumpiestOldMan dude, get over yourself, know one cares what you think!!! Little do you know, football is never about football. Been coaching football for 30 years and year in and year out I lean something bigger then football. Don’t forget to live a little on earth before its too late.
@TheGrumpiestOldMan Who took a shit in your cheerios?
@TheGrumpiestOldMan holy hell you’re delusional
@@pizzaman9170 what was this guy mad about? That they took time out of the game to do that?
I loved it when the coach got in his face and treated him like any of his other players.
Exactly!!!! Good job coach!!
This is what the mainstream news needs to be doing more of. I’m so happy for him and his family what great people there are in this world.
That lump in my throat kept getting bigger. The tears won. Awesome story and that young man will never forget it.
These two teams are really amazing young men. These two coaches. Some real solid guys involved here.
It is extremely admirable to see the players, coaches and fans give 42 much respect. 42, you are the Man! God Bless You! Keep The Faith!
That’s so awesome that a community would come together to make a boys dream come true.
You got that right man. I have a son with down syndrome. I've raced dirt bikes since i was little. My son is 7 years old and rides with me every weekend. 2 weeks ago he had a race and every came together and actually let him have 1st place with the trophy. It literally made him so happy dude. There's actually some nice people left in this world 😀.
This is what it should all be about.. coming together n lifting each other up. A Totally Classy Act on the part of both teams.
Proud of my fellow Native Sons of Ohio football players. Class, pure and simple.
They accept him as he is.
Parents, great job raising those boys right.
Young man, congratulations.
To a bunch of high school young men and coach’s that was a very special moment he will remember for the rest of his life hats off to you guys
Even though it was a lie
I love these stories.
great people with great big hearts , awesome
From a guy whose job is working with individuals with special needs, this brings tears to my eyes.Tears of joy
Life can be such a beautiful thing. Much love to his family , his team and coaches , and opposing team and coaches.
We all can learn a lot from that young man. God bless his teammates, coaches and parents supporting him.
This is what America needs!
Shows tremendous character on everyone's part to make this kid's dream come true.
If this does t bring a smile to your face and a tear to your eye SMH I feel sorry for you
Lord, sometimes it's so dark, but a light of hope for humanity breaks through.
Sometimes dreams come true due to the kindness of others. Good for these folks.
I totally agree with you!! Checkout my youtube channel show BUCKEYE VINNIE, please watch and click on the subscribe button thanks.
Great job Luke you ran past those guys like they were standing still, you young man was kicking up a lot of dirt running down that field. Again Great job Luke and keep quick legs of yours in shape so we can see you in action
I’m in tears.
I feel blessed to have friends that have special needs or DS they are some of the best people to know and they are smart and kind in their own way.
We can and need to learn from him and others .they don't start wars , they aren't bullies they are almost always smiling .this is a very inspiring story .good on all the players on both sides ,awesome
That's awsome they just made that boys day
Justx Beautiful 🙏
That's awesome, kudos to the players & coaches on both sides for letting this kid fulfill his dream.
they should have let the points count then give them back to the other team, it would make this kids dream even that more special to be honest.
They should have let the points count for his team
It’s called inspiration porn. They’re actually doing the kid a disservice by letting him score a touchdown and getting national news involved. This makes the able-bodied people feel better about themselves because they feel sorry for the kid with special needs.
@@channelmar15 How sad that in your little, pathetic world this act is wrong. Read the comments to this video and realize your perceptions of the world are wrong, that just maybe we know more about some aspects of life than you, and, finally, that the world would a better place without ignorant attitudes like yours.
@@channelmar15 You’re an idiot.
@@cherylwilliams1791 It amazes me how woke you probably are.
That's what life is all about! LOVE!
🕊🙏🏻Outstanding 🙏🏻🕊
God Bless that Entire Community 🕊🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊🙏🏻🕊
Thank to the family ! This touched a warm place in my heart. Wish you son all the best in his life.
That was great to see good sportsmanship
Omg that’s what life is all about caring and making his dream come true outstanding
I don't have down syndrome but I do have special needs and I only wish high school was this kind in the video but mine wasn't so kind
I am sorry that happened to you. We weren't put on this planet to hate and be mean to other people. We put here to love and take care of each other. Bless you and know you are loved by a complete stranger Rebecca.
People are just really cruel. People at my schools always made fun of other people with disabilities and it’s not a joke. My uncle has Down syndrome and some of my own friends have made fun of him and I regret not fighting them at the moment but I will never be cool with them again and they will get nowhere in life. Glad you stayed positive!
@@Tyler_ss6 You stay positive too. Keep loving your uncle as I know you do. Much love to you and him. Not all people have black hearts. My brother had leukemia back in the 70's. I saw him get teased as did my parents. I was only 10 but mom and dad would go ballistic on people that taunted my brother. Bless them and you.
People can be very cruel, sorry to hear that
High-school wasn't kind to me either. People just don't take the time to understand or care about people like us who are different in some way.
I am still feeling emotional what a great thing to do for another human, and what a special person he is. Thank you all for showing such class and grace. I will always be grateful, for what you have done. SJ
Specail need s people have hopes and dreams just like anyone else
@@Blake.Herron you spelled *too wrong.
What a tremendous story to watch just before Christmas. Those coaches and players on both teams gave Luke the thrill of a lifetime. May the LORD bless them greatly for their kind hearts.
This video shows that deep down, some people in this world are actually caring and loving individuals. Thank you so much for sharing!
God bless 🙏 you brother..n.. your family
Love his parents! I think someone is cutting onions 😢. But happy tears, because of this video! What a cool and uplifting moment!
What a wonderful touching story. This video needs to be shown to everyone.
What an awesome story thats what life is about all about building one another and not bringing someone down a great story and High School !!!

Im a grown ass man and im crying like a little bitch.. Their is still some sanity and love in this cruel world we all live in.. Good On you Champion your a true footballer

That's very sweet and endearing.
How could you possibly not like this story, shame on you. Go LUKE!!!!!
I'm an American Football fan living in Northern Ireland and ever since I became a fan in the eighties (I'm now 48 years old) I've been downhearted about how MINOR a sport it is over here with few teams and always thought how fans in the USA are lucky to have it on their footsteps. Watching this video has put my frustrations into perspective as although I only managed to take to the field in full contact Football 🏈 in my late 20s I hadn't any disabilities to stop me from doing so. Having said that I'm only 5' 8" not the strongest person in the world to play, and only got on for a few plays each game but I have some great memories AND me in a team photo over my bed. God bless you Kid you're an inspiration.
Oh, man, I needed this today. Gonna shut off computer now and go for a walk. Merry Christmas!
Good coach..good kids!
The points should've counted. Just let the other team score on a "easy" play as well...then start the game....that's just me.
I thoughT the same,......then LeT opposing team run the kickoff back.
Well said
As the kid sees this on the news/CZcams to realize it was fake
It’s not just about the game it’s about making memories for both teams
Truly awesome
this is really hurting this kid for the future...when he gets denied the rest of his life ..sad..
I LOVE when he was yelling at him like he would any other player. He was literally smiling, and I am crying again.
These videos always get me.
What an AMAZING story ❤
Wow great kindness.
I'm glad there still schools like that out there
Love this way to be.
Awesome!!
I'm sorry that's more than team work that's awesome that 2 teams came to gather to sport 1 awesome player .kick ass and thank you .👍🏽🇺🇸🤗
This is so nice ❤️
I don't see anybody lending me their yacht to live out my dreams. Thanks guys I'll just go back to my hole now. Great story though glad he got his.
The dad is right everyone is the same.
Congratulations !
Makes me cry
Great story! I wish they could have found a way to make the points count - Rick Ferencik
Love this team
Beautiful thing.
God bless you all 🙂 ❤️❤️
Very sweet video an touches ur heart 😆🙏
❤
Makes me cry
😢❤❤❤
I love this! The BIBLE teaches us to LOVE ONE ANOTHER. This video is a perfect example of that. They practiced together before the game? How AWESOME is that? Two great coaches! Two great teams and a young man with a hearts desire! Let's not forget his parents and loved ones who support him each day! GLORY!
On that field, lessons were taught, VICTORIES were upon them. Thank you for sharing!
God bless everyone involved!
Peace, Lynne 🍃💜🍃
this is exactly what our world needs right now!
Class!! 💪💪💪
