Read
the story, and absolutely love what these kids did. Too bad I can't
see the video as I live outside of the US - I bet the video would truly
go viral if you opened that up to the rest of the world.

Steve
Hartman meets the Olivet Eagles, a middle school football team who took
a fledgling player under their wing and executed what may be the most
successful play of all time.

kind and supporting the team! A great way to start the weekend!
Checkout this Football team from Olivet, Michigan as they make one of the greatest plays ever.

Out
of the mouths of babes. Adults can learn a valuable lesson about the
younger generation. The parents of the children on the Olivet Middle
School football team should be proud of the young adults they have
raised.

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.

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!

This
is truly such an awesome story. It honestly warms my heart to see that
kids so young recognize what it means to care and be selfless.
Especially at a time in their lives when most others are only worried
about themselves.

am so proud of these guys. You boys bring honor to our school! You are
amazing. Keith Orr, Congrats! Realize Keith, that your "team" is ALL
former and future players. May your future be bright!

Just
goes to show that being older doesn't make you more mature. Seems some
NFL players (a.k.a. Incognito) can learn a thing or two from these
guys. http://ow.ly/qyIo3

if
you've ever experienced true loneliness, bullying, social abandonment
(hope you understand that word, even though it doesn't really exist), or
any other form of adversity, like I have, you can't help but shed just a
little tear, 'cause this probably changed the young guy's life. I can't
explain how, and people who have been "popular" all their lives will
probrably think people like that are wimps, 'cause they can't understand
just how much it means to other people who's never been popular. it
means the world to people like me, just to hear the word "hi", "hello"
or "good morning".

I
know exactly what you mean. Until I actually started going to school at
Olivet I was physically tortured. the schools I had been to before
literally let kids beat me with sticks, baseball bats and verbally abuse
me. Olivet Schools is the first time I ever felt wanted by others. I am
so glad to call myself an Olivet High School graduate. Best thing that
ever happened to me. From an old football player to Keith, great job!
good luck in all your ventures!

This
is a bloody remarkable video, how even 102 people can dislike this is
beyond me. Its videos like this annoy me that theres even a like/dislike
bar to begin with...just get rid of it now, what even good does it do?
Sweet nothing. Infact had enough of these bloody pointless features on
Youtube, the past 5 years have been bloody annoying with Google getting
there filthy hands on Youtube and mucking it about. go away. But anyway
back on topic, wonderful video! Just amazing that humanity is not
totally fucked.

feel
so special that my mother's hometown made national news in a good and
impacting way. My mother grew up in the Olivet county, and my
grandmother worked as a office secretary in that exact middle school for
many years.

the
world is full of hate. intolerance, and selfish ambition. To finally
see something as mature and down right respectful and caring as what
these kids did puts a lump in my throat, sad to say these kids act more
like adults than some adults ive seen

Best
video I've seen in a long time! These kids are amazing individuals.
Middle school aged kids are typically so afraid to go against the
popular norm, fearing it will cause them to be 'unpopular', so it is
refreshing to see how compassionate they are towards the boy/teammate
who has learning disabilities.

I
love these kids. Good god, they're fantastic... and what a great thing
to see so much character celebrated on the news. It's exceptionalism
that's real, not contrived. And by the way, love that kid Keith too...
he had me tearing up with the hugs. Makes me hope my son grows up to be
as good as these young men.

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.
