Bullied Philadelphia Eagles fan Nadin Khoury's redeeming moment
A nice story...
Rick Reilly has the story at ESPN.com:
"A 13-year-old boy named Nadin Khoury told about how he'd been attacked by seven bigger schoolmates, kicked, beaten, dragged through the snow, stuffed into a tree, and hung on a 7-foot spiked fence, all while adults watched.
The boy was only 5-foot-2, but he'd made up his mind to stand tall no matter how much of his pride bled out. As the brutal video played on a screen behind him, his collar stayed buttoned, his spine straight, but his bottom lip quivered.
'Next time maybe it could be somebody smaller than me,' he said, loud and clear, like the Marine he wants to be someday. 'Maybe next time, somebody could really get hurt.'
That's when host Elisabeth Hasselbeck said, 'There are some guys here who want to tell you just how brave you are.'"
