This autistic kid’s big score on ‘Friday Night Tykes’ beats the Super Bowl

While most of America is gearing up for the Super Bowl this weekend, autistic kid athlete Grayson Christian’s big moment on the football field is probably more inspiring than anything we’re likely to see on Sunday.

Watch the clip below and grab the Kleenex. 

What do you think about the coach’s decision?
