I really appreciated how the wide receiver was crying while discussing how something like that affected him. We used to be told to not cry and man up as kids; so, it's really refreshing and promising to have young minds like his be open with their feelings. It's very healthy and that type of positive behavior spreads.
Almost every football player I've encountered has a nice cry when they lose their last game. My senior year, the opposing team drove the length of the field and scored with :00 seconds on the clock to pull within one. They went for two and won the game. We all cried. Our coaches cried. I lost my last baseball game in the 12th inning, giving up the winning run after pitching 6 scoreless inning and going 4 for 5. I had a nice cry after that one. But hey, that's just my experience.
Dave bulik jr Agreed! I bet that boy is a fine young man now, and will continue to be an outstanding friend, son, father, coworker, etc, because of the empathy that he so obviously expressed with those tears. He seems to have undergone a bit of a transformation, and I believe that those finer instincts that have awakened in him will guide him to a decent, human, moral path in life.
***** Internet my friend... Internet is sharing so much important information to all of us, no matter age, sexuality or race. We see the result of well used information, an spontaneous awareness to what REALLY REALLY matters in life. To be happy... And by loving and by receiving love we reach it faster and easier. Sounds hippie and cheesy but it matches harmoniously with the structure of our mind.
Allowing a student with special needs to be a big part of a football game is priceless!! Those players really demonstrated what it means to be true men! Justice Miller really spoke well, no matter how hard it was for him to tell the story. Within these players, they learned to value and love one another and mature greatly!! Great gentlemen!! Well done!!
We don't come across such amazing displays of teamwork, compassion and selflessness every day. Thanks for setting such a great example and you've got our vote as the football Play of the Year! We're excited to have the entire team at a game this year!
I am a father and a middle school classroom teacher, and this is amazing to me! Justice and Keith and all the boys learned a lot, so much more than anything I can 'teach' or facilitate as a teacher using traditional curricular material. Thank you for enriching so many people, guys!
@@jojotoosmooth8913 you cant teach em or else they will get mad and call you a rapist until your entire life is ruined and you have to register as a sex offender. Then you live out your days on the street with no home and no job.
Those are the men this sick world needs.Thank you guys for sweeten my old and sour heart.I wish you all the best in your life's. I wish all good people in this world are okay (unfortunately,the virus isn't selective),greetings from Portugal,Carpe Diem.
What makes this piece so good is not just the fact that Keith got his touchdown, but rather the effect that it had on all the other guys. Justice being profiled at the end was so sweet and sincere.
I had to watch this twice. It was so precious, and the boy's tear streaming down his sweet face,at the end of the video, showed he learned an invaluable lesson.
It's not just the nice thing they did that makes this special, it's the reaction of the player at the very end of the clip. Go ahead. I dare you not to cry.
God Bless those boys. This really touched my heart. I have a special needs son and so many do not realize the blessing they are in our lives. How they remind us to be kind and thoughtful of others.
It would be nice to see the Good being a bit more evident than the Bad though. I understand that to have Positive there has to be Negative or Light & Dark. The Planet really needs mankind to show it's good side to promote healing.There are far too many instances of Mankind showing it's Bad side at the moment.
omg even the reporter is cracking up.... I mean... Damn.... now I need a hug, that was... that was awesome... like the best play I have ever seen... and they did this in secret... "wow" is really the only word for it.
How very moving to see a story like this. Once upon a time, I too was disabled and socially inept... until I met the classmates that made me into a better person. I find this story very inspiring and heartfelt.
I would love to interview the kids parents. The parents of the kid who said " Because we really wanted to prove he is part of our team and he meant a lot to us." That kid has great, awesome parents!
This is awesome. Some of us just need to give back and not think everything is about themselves and their friends only. Their are other kids in this world that don't have friends because of the way they act or because of the way they look. This is so inspirational. Even though their are only about 60 middle school in my school we still have bullying. Let's try to be nicer, sit next to someone who doesn't have friends and become friends with them. Be Kind!
I think that's my favorite part, too, Stephen: this is a group of 13-14 year old boys. That age group doesn't necessarily have a reputation for being the most compassionate or selfless members of society. And they're football players, too! Yet, they were able to look at their situation, come together as a group and decide that they wanted to help their teammate, and they did it. Just awesome. :)
Wow. This is just so amazing, especially in the world that we live in today with all the bullying issues. I'm crying tears of joy, this video and these kids just made my heart so happy.
You always remember what you did, the rest of your life, and you'll be happy and remember the good persons that you are when you remember this act. My respect for all of you. (Sorry for my english, only expects that you can read my feellings with this words) . And thanks for the lesson of humanity.
I am a teacher of students with special needs and this story just MADE MY DAY! It was shared by our superintendent! I will definitely be passing this video on to others. There are good people out there. Find the positive today! There's a lot of good all around us!!
This video is amazing and what they all did is what truely demonstrates being human. But what I don't get is why people would dislike this video it is amazing and brilliant and definitely human.
that was the first thing i checked on to when i went from the site where i found it to the original youtube page to favorite it, to see if it could possibly be at 0 of course not, people just do that to blemish the 0-potential, no way to account for it, couldn't possibly matter any less though, eh?
i was saying people mark minus when they shouldn't because they shouldn't, it's like hardwired rebellion but there's no way to countermand the presence of inherently contrary compulsion, i was only saying it to let you know i noticed the thumbs down too, just to be on the same side, solidarity of mutually rolling our eyes at the pettiness of some people dom panic was saying dignity should be the rule not the exception, by making it seem superhuman you justify people who act like we shouldn't expect that from people on a regular basis because it takes 'special people' to offer those great examples but it's a youtube forum so it might have come off a little condescending, but it's an easy topic to become discouraged about but, gotta keep in mind that heart is the root word of dis-/en-courage-ment good day
Bryan McCormick Geez Bryan, you remind me a lot of my friend Chris. Great comment here explaining the whole thing, and solid insights too. Added you to my G+ circles under my RUclips account.
Dom Panic There's a difference between treating someone well and going out of your way to do something nice for them, and for that, they deserve some recognition.
Those parents did good in teaching their kids how to care about others... How beautiful to see this video!! Thanks for making me feel happy with tears!
My faith in their generation has been restored. If only the guys in my high school or just anyone around here could have the courage to do something like that then i'd change my opinion on them.
Those young men learned such a valuable lesson that day. In a time when most of the news seems to be about bullying, this act of kindness was indeed refreshing. Kudos to the Olivet Eagles!!! Champions in the best way possible.
So nice to see a story like this. So often, you would see a child like this end up as a victim of bullying. Nice to see these young people do such a mature and kind thing.
These kids are amazing young men! What they did will affect them all for life. I would love to see a follow piece in 15-20 years to see what happened to them ALL. I suspect many leaders will evolve and have a profound effect! PS Yeah, I know, Never could get 'effect' and 'affect' sorted out!
Not only was the kid at the end of the video getting teared up and comprehensive of the situation, but you could hear the emotion in the reporter's voice as he closed the report. That act was so beautiful
That boy- Justis (I am probobly spelling it wrong) Miller, who cries, wow- he seems like a wonderful kid! All of them, of course. But he's the one that made me cry. ^^, I am so happy to see people with 'power' using it for good! Go team:)
This is what true sportsmanship is like. This is what teamwork is about. Its not winning, its being there for your teammate. The greatest thing is that this team did it on it own and didn't need anyone to tell them what they needed to do, they just did it. Truly a hopeful and amazing story to teach a lesson to future generations.
One of the finest thing i've seen in my lifetime. Wonderful young men there. profoundly changed for the better for their entire lives. Watch the futures of every one of those boys - they will do great things for this world. Thanks guys.
I've watched this maybe 3 dozen times and still can't do so without tearing up. Those kids are beyond cool. They've been blessed. This was shot 4 years ago... wonder what they are all doing now. Good kids. Good Americans.
Wow.... no surprise, but were I narrating this, my voice would be breaking up at the end as well. Touching as hell, especially for a father of a kid who is very much the same in many ways.
I live just a few miles from this little town, and this is amazing. Say what you will about small towns, but that whole town has this young man's back.
In a world in which we are bombarded with horrible news on a daily basis, this act of kindness restores my faith in people. What a wonderful lesson you have given us. Thank you, each and every one of you.
teenagers get such a bad rep and then you see something like this and it makes me glad that i am part of a generation that is accepting and try;s to look after each other
This to me is so much more powerful than the plays where the other team is in on it from the beginning. The kids thought up a plan by themselves, and made it happen for their pal. Well done guys.
When I despair at the cruelty we are more frequently seeing in others, I watch videos like this and remember that there are generations of wonderful young people who are still out there behaving exactly as human beings should. Thank you to them and thank you to the parents who've raised them!
Our family was filled with football coachs and players, so this was amazingly touching to me, made me cry..so happy to see younger people coming back to some moral values in this country
Brought me to tears this is absolutely beautiful we see all these horrible stories kids being bullied that they take their own life and it's so sad so this is beautiful and humanity is restored
These boys are being raised by parents who have made a conscious decision to, both, instruct and demonstrate human kindness and compassion. That they have embraced such an act as this is proof positive that decency and humanity will continue. Tears often result when someone realizes they have taken a step up in emotional growth and intellectual maturity. Well done on the part of everyone!!

You used to be told not to cry? During football last season I cried like 5 times and once already this year
ericthepatriot1 last season was 2013. can you not imagine that maybe it wasn't always the way it is now?

I'm not crying. It's just been raining. On my face.
me too

Oh my gaaad. This is funny hahahahaha
Oh I am so crying.
These young men prove why there is so much hope for the next generation. Love this video!
Do you really love this video🤨
@@gabexd1510 bruh
Pœ 😩😩😩
Wouldn’t say that yet chief
little did she know -2021
these kids were raised right!!
You can say that again
Elizabeth Algeri The amount of respect to them ✊
Praise to the lord!

Amen. I agree 110%!
The last kid crying at the end is my new big hero. :) Feels good to give little brother?
***** Internet my friend... Internet is sharing so much important information to all of us, no matter age, sexuality or race.
We see the result of well used information, an spontaneous awareness to what REALLY REALLY matters in life.
To be happy...
And by loving and by receiving love we reach it faster and easier. Sounds hippie and cheesy but it matches harmoniously with the structure of our mind.
wow those are some amazing kids.. faith in humanity restored
Never lost faith in humanity so mine doesnt need to be restored, it was a very nice sweet thing to do tho

How is this comment from the Harlem Globetrotters 7 years old with only 10 likes?
yep
@@ridikulusridikulus6454 idk
these kids have more warmth and compassion than most adults.
true
I am a father and a middle school classroom teacher, and this is amazing to me! Justice and Keith and all the boys learned a lot, so much more than anything I can 'teach' or facilitate as a teacher using traditional curricular material. Thank you for enriching so many people, guys!
Father & Middle school teacher. Same for me. Same thoughts from me. Well done fellas.
Congrats with your life, i agree whole heartedly
Dang... who's slicin' onions right now? Geez.
MEEEEEEEEEEEEE!
My bad I’ll stop
This is how all boys should be raised to treat others.
Joseph Anthony i agree, im all for raising boys this way but girls should be too
I believe EVERYONE should be raised and taught this way. Girls and boys.
@@jojotoosmooth8913 you cant teach em or else they will get mad and call you a rapist until your entire life is ruined and you have to register as a sex offender. Then you live out your days on the street with no home and no job.
Really, just boys, your serious
@@bmoreriseup6130 huh? what does that have to do with raising girls to treat each other kind?
I wish all middle school/high school were as nice and good-hearted as these boys are!
Those are the men this sick world needs.Thank you guys for sweeten my old and sour heart.I wish you all the best in your life's.
I wish all good people in this world are okay (unfortunately,the virus isn't selective),greetings from Portugal,Carpe Diem.
That kid was crying. He's the best
What makes this piece so good is not just the fact that Keith got his touchdown, but rather the effect that it had on all the other guys. Justice being profiled at the end was so sweet and sincere.
Aw the kid at the end.
7 years late, but i hope he's prospering and happy
Justice!!!! 😭 You, young sir, have learned a virtue that has forever shaped your life. So much GREATNESS will flow from you! 💜🙏🏾💜
Wow if these kids keep this attitude they will go far in life .
I had to watch this twice. It was so precious, and the boy's tear streaming down his sweet face,at the end of the video, showed he learned an invaluable lesson.
what a wonderful story :) this instills my faith that there is hope for today's youth.. warms my heart, truly.
It's not just the nice thing they did that makes this special, it's the reaction of the player at the very end of the clip. Go ahead. I dare you not to cry.
Hopefully there are more children like this. They are wonderful!
It is refreshing to see kids being nice to someone who is a little different. It gives me a warm fuzzy feeling inside.
This kids are the sweetest ever , they're so smart.
the kid who is crying bless his heart ❤️
1:30
“Hello”
That was so cute
This is beyond sportsmanship, this is friendship and family beyond that of your kin.
God Bless those boys. This really touched my heart. I have a special needs son and so many do not realize the blessing they are in our lives. How they remind us to be kind and thoughtful of others.
If only this could be an everyday occurrence around the world eh?. People caring about others in their Billions
Amen to that
Without bad there is no good
It would be nice to see the Good being a bit more evident than the Bad though. I understand that to have Positive there has to be Negative or Light & Dark.

Oh it is, just never gets reported on.
Faith in humanity restored!
Never lost faith in humanity!!!!@ MAGA
This brought tears to my eyes. Absolutely wonderful boys. Their parents have done a fantastic job raising them.
Stories like this give me faith in humanity and I think we are going to be fine
The whole "Faith in humanity restored" comment? It's used for moments like these. Kudos, boys! :')

I would love to interview the kids parents. The parents of the kid who said " Because we really wanted to prove he is part of our team and he meant a lot to us."
That kid has great, awesome parents!
Anything is possible! It's great how those young football players changed into wonderful souls! My faith in humanity is starting to grow back.
The maturity and empathy of these kids is so heartwarming.

I am so proud of you!!!
At the end when the boy cry made me cry. That football team is soo sweet!
This is my favorite video in my life time it makes me cry every time I see it and Justin talking about how it made him feel is even more amazing
Great display of love and friendship

So delightful to see youth sports showcased in such a positive light. What a life lesson for the team and the world!
people in life may inspire you in different ways but only it depends on you how go with it.
Amazing that a group of middle schoolers would put up such a display of kindness and sportsmanship. Very encouraging
I live 20 mins from this place we played them
So glad that i'm not the only one who drop manly water from the eyes here. This kids are awesome!
Just imagine if the opposing team would have tackled him. Lol
The announcer at the end was about to break down

You guys have just graduated from being kids to becoming men. God bless all of you for your act of kindness!
Damn! Ninjas cutting onions again!
The last kid who was crying had his life change in a good way.
When I saw this I cried
This is great. I work in SPED at the High School level and this really puts a smile on my face. Those kids are a shining example of human compassion.
Far better than a bunch of overpaid men on a football field could ever be!
I have huge faith in our younger generations and much of is it bc of the great stories about so many amazing kids from Steve Hartman.
THEY CARE!!! THEY REALLY CARE!!!!
Brought me to tears this is absolutely beautiful we see all these horrible stories kids being bullied that they take their own life and it's so sad so this is beautiful and humanity is restored
