Do you know Matt? I think the only way this "experience" would hurt Matt is if he comes across someone like you. What a negative attitude you have. I personally do not know Matt, but from what I have seen I would say that Matt has a bigger heart than you. I believe a child having a disability or not should be able to fullfill their dreams. If they have a little help along the way it is because they earned it, and by the looks of it Matt earned that touchdown. And nobody, nobody can take that away from him. Not in his heart. Not in the hearts of his family or anyone who is close to him and loves him dearly. Matt did an outstanding job that day. And for your information I believe his self-confidence and trust in people may have gotten a lot more stronger. Hey Cynthia. Do you know Matt?

He scored a touchdown that he worked for by being at every practice and at every game. He was a vital part of the team, even if he only played from the sidelines. All the hard work he put in to play football earned him the right to finally score that touchdown. It was a beautiful moment, and I truly admire Matt, his teammates, the opposing team, the coaches, and anyone else who was involved in this event. This took my breath away, and everyone can learn a lesson from this event. Matt taught us to work hard and never give up. His team showed us to always be supportive, and the opposing team exhibited the ability to realize what truly matters in life- the simple happiness that we can give to others. God bless everyone who had a part in this moment. We can all learn a lesson from it. Matt's experience WAS real. He scored a touchdown that he worked for by being at every practice and at every game.

That his touchdown was given to him and not really earned by him? How would that knowledge affect him, his self-confidence, and his trust in people around him? What the two teams did was a nice gesture, but might this hurt Matt in the long run? My concern is if Matt finds out later that his experience had not been "real" – that it had been all a lie?

You can't articulate it. It is the human heart, the human spirit and an incredible gift of sportsmanship. All who participated should be commended for one very incredible rare moment in sports.
