I've Never Really Liked These . . .
. . . "feel good" touchdown plays. This is pure Obama Socialism, isn't it? A government sanctioned event where the masses give up something to assist the less fortunate. What's this country coming to? Throw in that the kid fumbled and still scored just proves it even more.
In the America I grew up in, one of the defensive players would have scooped up the ball and ran the length of the field for a TD. That's competition. That's what this country was built upon. (Not to mention that it would have been video gold.)

TIMMAH!!!!!
Some can and some cannot...plain and simple. Let the cans do and let the cannots find something else they can do. Let's quit pandering!!!!!!
FUMBLIA! FUMBLE-RUSKIE! No hand but check out them wheels!
I'm a staunch conservative, and I hang mostly with people of like mind. I don't know anyone who doesn't want to help those who can't on their own. Just don't want to enable those who won't on their own. I don't get what is so dificult to understand.
Skippy, The Liberal Weenie Regime is going to come calling. They don't like it when you don't march in lock step.
I wonder if I can get an NFL team to let me run the ball in for a touchdown one time. I don't have the athleticism or the correct colored skin to play in the NFL so that makes me handicapped right?

What I think many find "difficult to understand" is that many republicans don't include children, the elderly, the mentally ill, and the physically disabled in those who "can't on their own". If they did, you wouldn't see them attacking those programs that benefit those groups they way they have. They would be talking about sensible decreases, alternative programs, or minor tweaks, rather than total elimination.
Certainly, sensible people agree that there are things we can pay for and things we can't afford. But, the discussion doesn't ever seem to relate to how best to help those that can't. The conversation seems to be about whether it's socialism or class warfare.
Additionally, while the people you hang with may clearly want to help those who can't on their own, I've heard plenty of conservatives advocate and/or embrace positions that would just let people starve, die from lack of medical care, or be excluded from educational opportunities.
I hope that you and those you hang with represent a larger percentage than what I have witnessed.
None of you have a disabled kid I would bet. You really want to compare a harmless little gesture in a kid's game to socialism. Guess you probably think Special Olympics is a big socialistic waste of time. So all you people who can't understand why this is a simple little exercise in something called human empathy can just go eff yourselves.
That kid will be occupying the stadium when he graduates, unable to understand why people don't still give him a free pass.
11:39, Is it OK to let able body athletes participate in the Special Olympics?
Come on man. I lost alot of respect for you. That was probly that kids dream and your going to be an ass about it.
11:39,
Have you seen the "Special Olympics" lately? Full of kids who are lazy and don't want to apply them selves, it has nothing to do with handicap kids anymore. 90% of the kids taking part have "a.d.d." and/or are just in alternative school for behavior. So, the S.O. is a huge waste of time. It is not about the children who NEED the attention now at all...
Why did he have to suit up in protective gear?
That must have made him happier than a retard in a room full of bouncy balls.
11:57 I hav dweams to... wat about myu dweams...
I woulda clothes-lined him/horse collar, and then do a wicked celebration dance... ♫
As a famous Englishman once wrote Much ado about nothing.
12:01, yeah I see Special Olympics all the time and it's obvious to me that you don't from your ignorant post. I watch my autistic son participate with MR and Down's children, having a blast, not caring who wins or loses, hugging an opposing player who trips and falls in the middle of an event. Where the hell do you get the idea that "alternative school" kids are allowed to compete in Special Olympics. Just complete bullshit. It's a program that's a hell of a lot more worthy than some pee wee football league for "normal" five-year-olds where a coach screams at the kids and the parents and coaches are so nuts about the game that they attack referees and opposing players and coaches.
11:55, yes it is "OK" for normal kids to compete in Special Olympics. For example, high school athletes form teams all the time (soccer is a good example) to come and "compete" with the Special Olympics teams. They love it. They get great pleasure out of helping a disabled child "win" the game. They get hugs and smiles and everyone feels great about it. You see, that's the same "competing" that the the young man is doing who is allowed to score the touchdown. It isn't, in fact, competition at all. They don't count the score. His team doesn't gain an advantage. IT JUST MAKES HIM FEEL VALUED. And there's absolutely no harm in that. You really have to be a jaded, pessimistic person to think this is a bad thing.
Kid would have remembered a lap dance longer.
Bahahaha ... 1:21 you are just TOO clever. OMG that's the the most amazingest funny post of ALL TIME. Help me, my stomach is hurting.
"Have you seen mah weina?"

"Where the hell do you get the idea that "alternative school" kids are allowed to compete in Special Olympics."
Where do I get that idea? The Wise County Olympathon is where. Held every year at BHS. I've worked it, I've seen it first hand. Makes me sick. I'm sure your opinion of my post is correct in your heart b/c your child deserves the chance to participate in this event, and you pay attention to him/her and not everything going on around you. However, they do allow the alternative school kids to participate, I've seen kids run faster than most of the "normal" high school kids.
There is ignorance out there, just not from this poster...
12:01
hey 12:02, rules is rules...lol
4:27, rules of participation in Special Olympics do not allow participation by "emotionally disturbed" persons on that basis alone. There may be children who have behavioral problems along with a diagnosis of MR. Bottom line is that if the rules are not being followed here the person responsible should be reported. Believe me, the governing body of Special Olympics takes this very seriously. Regarding whether some children "run faster" than others. Well yes that's the general idea of the program. Children compete in their own skill level category. That's why you don't have kids in wheelchairs and walkers running track against autistic kids who can sometimes run faster than their parents. My child does not live here. The program works beautifully when the rules are followed, and I still disagree with your overall condemnation of Special Olympics based on your limited experience.
There should have been a flag on the play and the touchdown called back. Number 62 was definitely guilty of offensive holding.
4:28, Back in the day when I played football, we only had leather helmets with no face masks, with no face masks, with no face masks, with no face masks.
Ok, now that's funny 5:32
I've always pondered the repercussions of the other team having a "special" kid on the defensive side who doesn't understand the situation and makes a seemingly touchdown saving tackle.
Franks and beans.
Total crap...
What Barry failed to add and Steve Lamb reported this morning on WBAP is that this all occured AFTER the clock had run down and the game was over. Kind'a throws a different light on it, ya think?
7:26, I guess that negates the holding and explains why there was no flag thrown. Lol
You're right 'bout this nancy-pants video...
Football's 'bout knocking the snot outta each other and ain't 'bout lettin up.
Damn Commie conspiracy the sissifying of the great sport of FootBall!
Bear Bryant is prob'ly rollin like a snack stand hot dog at the thought of this crap!
'Ooooooo look at me... waaaa.. my legs ain't workin... social medicine, blah blah blah."
Man up folks... it's e'ryone fer themselves!
Thats great for a pee wee football game....
let him ride out in front of the team and join the team for coin toss....
the rest is a farce
