My Wish: Ben Roethlisberger Hangs with Akeem

[@clowny3333]

God bless akeem and that's an awesome job by the steelers welcoming akeem to there team

[@walterdbrown]

I've seen like 12 or 15 make a wish videos today and my heart is just broken ..these kids are freakin tough and to see them meeting people who make them happy is just amazing

[@asamoahgyan8636]

Nothing warms the heart like a My Wish spree

[@baranduyn]

Akeem is such a literally beautiful young man. IDK why these things happen, maybe for those around him & all of us to show we can listen to our better angels. I love the way the team was with him. I wish all the best for Akeem & his family forever.

[@Coltboy00]

His father is so sincere, it's so heartbreaking.

[@kevinspringman3307]

This just made me shed tears for the first time in two years

[@TheMahomieBelieber]

Loved this. When he asked if the cameras bothered him he's like "what's the point in worrying?" he's adorable and he think positively. (; everyone should learn fro him.

[@AnthonyD1986]

This is great, best of luck in the future Akeem.

[@jordanc9856]

"don't hit me make sure it ain't me PLEASE" LOL so cool

[@lawnmowerman3875]

Bring tears to my eyes.

[@elvishouck]

That is so Awesome! God Bless u Steelers Rookie!

[@1bls]

Props back to you, I am a Steelers fan, Die Hard. But, that being said, I think all Steelers fans love the rivalry that the Steelers and Ravens have. You guys are always the game we circle on our calendars. Respect is there both ways.

[@marcuswhitaker9507]

I'm a matured 18 year old male and this made me cry... Respect to ESPN for this.

[@abrahamruelas8095]

Awesome kid he has heart Go Steelers!!!

[@noahraymond244]

Wonder how he's doing now

[@fahadfaayz]

I m crying to c this video. salute the whole team God bless you

[@chancellor9724]

this is why the Steelers are the greatest franchise! so classy! and big Ben is a very nice guy. my favorite player. And Prayers for Akeem. even tho this was awhile ago. brought tears to my eyes.

[@KingCordster]

I feel so sorry the families, and kids, who have to endure stuff like this every day. Much respect for the fighting that they do.

[@JJactionfilms]

God bless the people who do this

[@fysteekatw156]

This literally make me cry..so beautiful

[@christophersteppat7865]

Ben is so classy. Such an awesome player

[@richardbain8746]

These kind of story's always warm my heart!

[@isud2000]

Bengals fan here. This made me cry.

[@the_boss2194]

Wow, this kid is a warrior. If I were him, I would be depressed all my life. But how he handles it, wow, it just amazes me. If I were the parents, I would've sued the people who crashed into the car, and who was driving it. I just hope one day, it may be impossible, that he will be able to walk again, maybe not though

[@jjohnson6406]

This is too sad. Kudos to parents for taking care of him.

[@tstarr17]

7:09 I love the way they execute the play! What a great video. I love how professional athletes like Roethlisberger do nice things like this

[@XxNikki1996xX]

Omg, this literally brought tears to my eyes. Not only is ben a great qb, but a great person, too. Really down to earth. Go steelers!!!

[@poorboyscrew2744]

When was this actually recorded, I know it's before 2009 but if it was 2008 how unique would be that the Steelers won a Super Bowl for Akeem

[@mrunlimitedgames]

*the Cardinals choked for Akeem

[@australiaisntreal2727]

[@TheDanishBully]

[@RovingRoy]

To those who say that athletes aren't role models...just watch a few of these "My Wish" shows...you'll have an attitude adjustment right quick!

[@funkyflights]

Very cool, good job Ben ...

[@metsdrummer]

I just love the make a wish campaign

[@Tylerseguinbaby19]

It would be cool to see that picture still in his locker during an interview or something

[@TheRuck86]

I live and die for the Cleveland Browns, but my hat goes off to the Steelers for this. Great move guys

[@LambeauLeeeper]

Ben seems to be pretty cool.

[@504Diva]

my goodness- this is precious.

[@1bls]

Man that is a cool kid. Gutsy, smart, and a Steelers fan.

[@oliviablymer5973]

[@benwesolowski5999]

Even if I don't like ben rothisberger he is still a good person for helping a kid like that he didn't have to

[@minicrazyrussianhacker5609]

RIP Mr.Rooney

[@nyyanks22]

Who said Ben is a bad guy ? Seems pretty cool to me !

[@freedomimage4822]

+ny yanks22 hes one of my favorite players. I wanna meet him too someday he seems chill

[@JamesAlexGerardcreator]

xXTheDeadOne56Xx Hey, why don't you quit hiding behind some fake name online and tell us who you are and what you do for a living? Too much to ask? I see. You have so much guts. So much insight -- but hide behind some Pseudo name, issue insults and act better than real people. Just remain the anonymous coward you are. Sit behind your keyboard and pretend to be a man. Thanks for replying in a way that screams out 'I'm a loser who is too afraid to tell you who I am" and dare come down on others. Loser. Unintelligent and illiterate both. Nothing like making something of yourself in this world. ###

[@cjsmith9881]

James Alex Gerard LMFAO!!! 😂😂😂 !TRIGGERED!

[@MrAMYJACK]

So in your mind ny ben is the star.. your ....... d

[@RobbieZunenshine]

So happy

[@leroyoneill1929]

Akeem you sir are cool as fu*k! I hope all is going great young man. Legend. 👍👊

[@benmiddleton9984]

I love these stories

[@j8342]

The funniest part is when after he scores, some dude tried to high five him 😂

[@marylandpride5266]

I was just about to comment this. Still a touching and class move by the Steelers. I'm a ravens fan too! Haha

[@ballisticwarrior7736]

+FootballCards8 wow are u crazy. A Ravens fan completing the Steelers. lol. I am a fan of the Steelers and last time i checked they hated each other

[@theepicgamer148]

+Steven Universe fan im a steelers fan too

[@diablo9997]

+marylandpride52 Ravens

[@jasonh5290]

John smith Please, Everyone, always treat Everyone and Everything with kindness, love and respect. Please always remember, Jesus is always there for you, no matter what! Please open your hearts to love and please find Jesus!!!!!!!

[@SleepingWithJonah]

Diehard Ravens fan here. This is incredible.

[@BEANSBRACK]

I don't want to sound terrible but I can't help but laugh at 6:50. He just rolls up like a boss

[@goalscorerlajon]

WOW! Akeem is so inspiring!

[@obldoge]

this is soooooooo sad! but yet happy

[@martinlola1978]

Best QB ever and very compassionate!

[@MKGjon]

seen a lot of these but ive never seen one this sad

[@Knyghtsword2346]

Omg I'm crying HappY tears for Akeem and my team The Steelers!

[@HarshaNadimpalli]

Good luck Akeem. I hope all your dreams come true

[@FrankWasco]

Best team ever

[@ppumpkinspoon3030]

Lmfao at 4:50 he tried to shake Akeem's hand XD

[@tammybowman4446]

big Ben it's 2016 do you still have that akeem pick

[@petermerkin6428]

The locker room is sacred, he'll have to tell Antonio Brown that. Haha!

[@jjruiz4576]

That made me cry

[@freyawoods330]

what a story to be told

[@preoxwhygen2007]

Steelers are a class act

[@oliverfarah8091]

What sick people would dislike this

[@jaronhamblen2400]

People who hate Big Ben and the Steelers. Im not a fan either but i still liked it

[@VeggieGamer]

Ha, love the Steeler trying to get Akeem to take his helmet back to the locker room XD

[@supermarioryder2362]

Love you Ben Roethlisberger

[@NS_8103]

What funny is that when Ben gives him the football and he moves I love how the steelers just fall all down and he makes a touchdown

[@ItsJacobyay]

Watching this in 2016 makes me think 2 things. Does ben still have that picture? And if this kid had a contract, doea that mean he's legitimately on the roster? Cause i need a hb on mut and this kid has 1 career run that ended up in a td! Thats 100% td rating!

[@theMaFFiaDarkSide]

Props to that kid

[@JayTheRed8]

Brilliant Steelers

[@ThePokemaniac34]

Touching!!!!!!!!! I liked the video before i watched it!! $)

[@fernandososa2459]

that video was beautiful

[@TheWarDog11]

That is so cool, but dangit, now I have to admire the Steelers for being so cool to that young man.

[@thomascollier4421]

Well this is sad. Happy Akeem got to spend time with Steelers players though,something that will help him through tough times. God bless Akeem.

[@TyrekeCorrea]

I've seen this segment before now, but the updated thumbnail for this video has made it difficult to tell who it's about. It's kind of difficult to recognize Akeem from the rear view of his wheelchair.

[@bayouboy2412]

If you ever feel bad, just remember that some dude tried to high five a paralyzed kid.

[@yellowman808]

Akeem is awesome!

[@kevinperu2415]

I love the hillbilly intro music....

[@selfexplanitory]

Love this video!

[@EdgarakaEdgorilla07]

Akeem I’m sorry that this happened to you bro.

[@austinvarner6189]

I love the steelers, he loves the steelers, I feel so STINKIN bad for him. GO STEELERS!!!!!!!!!!!!! HERE WE GO STEELERS, HERE WE GO!

[@fantastic7funwithmagic380]

I love them too💙💙💙💚💙💛💜💛💜💜💟💟💞💘💗💖👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍 go team

[@ballisticwarrior7736]

HELL YEAH ANOTHER FAN

[@crow4270]

Go Cowboys

[@crow4270]

+KingNinjaHD rothelisburger is really good that is true but I love the Cowboys even though romo gets hurt so much

[@calebshapiro8565]

my cowboys have a long super bowl history against the steelers so I cant like them but I will say the steelers did a amazing thing

[@jarredboring8372]

How the hell can you dislike this

[@ATLdirtybird33]

Akeem is awesome

[@augtenth]

Very classy. From a Seahawks fan. :)
