Just when you think the only thing on the news is bad news and that the world is filled with evil people, you come across a feel good story like this.

The Maryville Spoofhounds could have won their high school football game against the Cardinals 46-0, but they let the other team score.

Matt Ziesel is a freshman with Downs Syndrome who has sat on the bench while the rest of his team plays.   The coach of the Cardinals approached the coach of the opposing team and asked him for a favor.  Would  he allow Matt to make a touchdown.  The outcome of the game would remain the same, but really what those  boys learned on that field that day will remain with them for the rest of their lives.

I dare you not to feel all warm and fuzzy watching this video.  And kudos to the coach and players of the Maryville Spoofhounds for showing what kindness, compassion, and sportsmanship is all about.
