I thought you'd like to see this articke about an Ohio kid who won't a little thing like having no legs keep him from playing football.

My apologies is this was posted before, I scrolled the board and didnt see it. Again, my bad if this is old news.

Good luck against the Hawkeyes today.

OHSAA is trying to ban him from playing. Andy Furman on 700 WLW had a big beef the other day on the show about how "everyone's exploiting this kid" and "he's in harms way!" I think the kid may never get any opportunity to be part of this kind of team again and if he wants to play, they should let him.

That's inspiring. Let the kid play. Why do people have to try to protect others to the point where it takes away there right to live a full life?

If he played baseball, what would his strike zone be? (Sorry that's what an umpire thinks about) Can you clip him? If you were blocking him, would you play your hardest? I really wish I could see some clips of him playing. I bet it's inspiring.

I agree with letting him play. He should be able to do whatever he wants...and make the rest of the world adjust.
