You're only setting up the kid for disappointment later in life. It's really one of the worst things you could do.
To me, the most important thing is people learning that people with disabilities CAN contribute to the world instead of being moving pity-wagons. Knowledge, knowledge, and more knowledge of what people with special needs can and cannot do is important. What are you trying to prove when you give them free wins? It proves absolutely NOTHING except confirm them as being "lesser" human beings.
The world's an entirely different place when you turn 30 and there's no high-school squad to give you wins...
A lot of Down's Syndrome kids do not live a long life. Though it's been improved a lot nowadays, most of these individuals do not have a good physical heart...along with a whole bunch of other physical problems.
It's very possible this kid wouldn't even live to be 30, whereas you have a much better chance to do so than him.

I don't know what's down syndrome like...but if I have some kind of disability and the same thing happened to me, I am just gonna feel more depressed and ashamed of myself. (for being the pity of everyone, feel bad about not being able to accomplish anything real by myself...)
It guess it depends....if his mental disability is to the level which he doesn't realize people are doing this out of goodwill and sympathy, then that's great. (i.e. it is like playing games with a 3 years old and letting them win)
But if he is intelligent enough to realize the situation, what they did is just going to make him feel worse eventually. (i.e. playing game with an 18 years old and purposely let him win surely won't please him)

Dude, compare it to an experience such as breaking into a new sport. How would you feel if more experienced or excellent players just tooled you every game?
Trust me, you're pride might be speaking for you right now, but if you found yourself in impossible situations, you'll learn to appreciate "courteous" players. I guarantee it.
Now one of the best ways to learn is to join a tiered league where beginners are grouped together but there's no Down Syndrome only Football league that I know of for that guy.
fail me. just cuz i dont care about retards and just because i want to be an asshole =] what can ya do
I completely agree with you. You don't care about retards and you want to be an asshole. Good on you.
But please, don't hate me for hoping that people like you die slow painful deaths and suffer for hours on end as your corpse is decaying and rotting. I really hope this happens to you btw. I really sincerely do.
Fail me.

I think they're happier than we'll ever be. Their disabilities somehow give them better insight to what really matters. When you think about it, the rest of us are the real retards.
