Down syndrome on the "Today Show"

Just wanted to make sure everyone saw this about a high school basketball player in Maine with Down syndrome. Get your tissues.

You know, I cried a little too, and I usually hate those feel-good sports stories.

There's still a little something depressing about it though; something a little patronizing. Not the language the reporter used or anything like that. Just the general vibe of it. Maybe it was all the pats on the head he was getting. I don't know. It's probably just me, looking for the down side, as usual.
