High school football team misses field goal…and wins?

Vermont high school football should be abolished.

Because today, I learned something.  I learned that in football, it is possible to miss the go ahead field goal with seconds remaining and STILL win the game.  What you are about to watch is, without a doubt, the WORST football play in the history of football, at any level, that I have ever seen. 

Just watch the video below. Why those kids were standing there in the first place boggles my mind.

You don’t have to be stupid to realize something here – It’s a field goal! You let the ball hit the ground, the game ends. You catch it, (I don’t know why you would anyway) and you take a knee, the game is over. You stand to the side of the field picking your ass, the game is over.  You run around the field naked shouting obscenities, the game is over. You literally do anything BUT what this kid does, and the game is over, you win.  

This is just as much the coaches fault as it is the stupid kids. I still don’t understand why those kids were standing there.
