A make-a-wish disabled kid was tackled in a feel-good stunt gone wrong this week.
The grandfather of the make-a-wish kid uploaded a video showing the disabled child taking a handoff during a youth football game, and it appeared everyone was supposed to let him score, but one defender tackled him in the backfield.
Kid getting the handoff has a disability. The other team was supposed to let him score.
One kid wasn't having it.https://t.co/Yx2ieL0Wpk

The grandfather posted a follow-up video saying the kid who made the tackle apologized for the mistake and that there were no hard feelings towards him.
“Chris was not hurt in the football game and Aiden apologized right away and it was a great learning experience.”

The make-a-wish kid was able to get a touchdown on the next play without getting tackled.
