I'm positive that the motivation for looking this up in the locker room was that they felt the kid was in danger. I SERIOUSLY doubt that their reasons were malicious, as seems implied here. And quite frankly, I'm shocked that the school itself didn't anticipate this potential problem (or perhaps even feel the need to protect THEMSELVES from litigation) and get the waiver before this kid played his first game at ANY level.
The boy is a tribute to what can be overcome by the human spirit. But I'll be honest - if I see this kid on the field for the first time, it would not have taken me until halftime to ask the coach if he was cleared to play. In football, a kid running around on his hands surely seems to be in a precarious position amongst 250 pound goliaths in cleats.
