"It was a great opportunity for our kids to kind of realize that while, yes, winning is a big deal, there's bigger life lessons out there," McEnaney said. These kids has something to really be proud of.

I wonder where the Spoofhounds got the name for their team (serious question)? Usually high-school teams pick college or pro teams, but I’ve never heard of any other team with that name.

I disagree.
In spite of the downs, Matt sounds like a pretty bright kid. Should he find out it was all a dishonest trick, the coach and team’s “feel good” (pat ourselves on the back) moment will have been at Matt’s expense.

Now that is what I call coaches.
Great job teaching those kids, and learning from them.

I coached kids for 15 years in football. You would be amazed at how good they can be if given the chance. It was some of the best 15 years of my life.

These kids has something to really be proud of.So do their parents. All of the kids involved show that they understand the meaning of "sportsmanship".

Boy, I hate to be a wet blanket, but I don’t agree with what the coach came up with. I would have let the kid play, and instructed he receive the pass, but then let him take his tackle like the rest of ‘em remembering to tell him to really hang on to the ball. Then at the end of the game, the team’s players could all of given him a huge pat on the back saying they know exactly how he feels (it was 46-0!) ... I think he would have felt pretty good about that hobbling back to the bench.

Sorry - but that is not football. There are lots of ways to show love but breaking the rules is not one of them.

Thanks for posting.
Growing up in Avon, NY we had a guy with Downs Syndrome, Drew Moran
I don't know how old he was back then, but he suited up for every game I can remember, he started before I started HS and continued well after I left.
The coaches had assigned him (allowed him ?) a bunch of jobs, being part of the team was the most important thing in his life. I'd forgotten all that, till I read the post. Thanks !
