Teenage Football Players Conspire To Do Something Unexpected

83,867 views

Without telling their coaches, the football players of Olivet Middle School conspired to execute an extraordinary play at their next home game. Actually, it was two plays. The first was to get as close to the goal line as possible without scoring. And the second? Well, you'll just have to watch the video to find out. The most remarkable effect of the play? "I kind of went from being somebody who mostly cared about myself and my friends to caring about everyone and trying to make everyone's day and everyone's life." Now that may make this the most successful football play of all time.

Their solidarity...with the love of their land, and their commitment not to be scared of standing up for what they believe in.

Amazing what the heart and spirit of human beings can do for all mankind. You made my day!

Just loved it! Made my day.

As a teacher of special needs students here in Canada I cannot express how proud I am of the players on Olivet's football team. It takes courage to do something different; and even more courage to do it for the benefit of someone else ... awesome is too small a word to describe this team of players ... they are "unbelieveablyunselfish' and I applaud you and what you stood for. To Keith ... Yeaaa! Whoot! Whoot! ... Congrats!; ...for Justice ... that tear proved you are more of a man at your age than many are in adulthood ... I wish everyone of you at Olivet wondrously fulfilling lives.

I find it really nice that teenagers would just do this for a kid.... even though he wasn't what they thought, they still stood up for him, even on the field....WOW!!!!!

The overwhelming compassion that these young boys have for this special boy. God bless all of them and may they find success in all future endeavors. The world needs more young people like this!

This is just amazing. It really shows that kids and teenagers these days CAN make a difference. It's just that... not ALL of them know it yet.

For 35 years I taught special needs students. Many times I witnessed acts of caring and kindness on the part of other students toward my charges, but these boys took compassion for their special teammate to a new level! Their acts of kindness not only enhanced their teammate's life, but theirs as well.

What an amazing bunch of boys. There are many good kids out there today who do amazing things for there fellow human beings. They are not all uncaring. They do show love for each other.

Brandon Jacoby

Tears to my eyes, I wish I could personally thank every single one of these boys. Incredible hearts, best thing I've seen/heard in a while. Keep strong everyone, love and light!

Pamela Kissinger

I am amazed. The young men should get some kind of special recognition.
