Boy With Down Syndrome Scores 13 Safeties Thanks To Make A Wish

A local football team tried to fulfill the wish of a child with down syndrome. Unfortunately it ended badly with with the boy suffering a broken arm and three cracked ribs.

It was the second half of the game and the coach elected to put young Bruce Jennee Transition in at full back. At the snap of the ball, Mr. Transition was immediately stopped and slammed on the field by three defensive linemen. He suffered this fate 13 more times before the coach realized this is not exactly what he wished for

"The boy simply wished for an opportunity to play football." States the chairman of the local Make A Wish Foundation. " Had he specified that he actually wanted to score a touchdown without anyone tackling him, we could have made accommodations for that. Unfortunately he did not give us those details."

Right now, the young boy Mr. Transition, is in the hospital suffering some minor brain injury. Doctors are trying to confirm if these injuries came about as a result of the football game.
