Middle School Football Team Creates Secret Play To Get Disabled Teammate A TD (Video)
With bullying once again at the center point of sports talk radio, thanks to Richie Incognito and his voicemail rant, it’s nice to be reminded that not everybody in the world is a horrible human being.
Middle Schoolers in Olivet, MI schemed for a couple of weeks on a way that they could get their learning disabled teammate Keith Orr, his first career Touchdown. Setting up Keith’s big score involved one player sacrificing his stats and taking a dive at the 1-yard line. In the video, you can actually hear parents screaming at the youngster who took a knee when he had a clear path to the End Zone.
The player who chose not to score will have plenty of more opportunities to score Touchdowns in his high school and maybe even college career, but for Keith Orr, this TD was one he’ll remember forever.
Perhaps a few NFL players should take note of what it means to be a good teammate… and friend.
