E60's 'Silent Night Lights' story of a deaf football team is outstanding

Vlogger, "Fremont, California's California School for the Deaf was used to people not expecting much from its football team. The athletes however chose to not accept that and used the skepticism to fuel their march to the top. A team of underdogs, the school made its opponents take notice.

"Some of the players were born deaf. Others lost their hearing later in life, but all were used to facing adversity. In some cases they were mocked by their peers and in sometimes they just had to battle the loneliness of being deaf in a hearing world. It was adversity that could have broken the young men. Instead, it drove them to excel on the football field. Representing their school, the first all-deaf environment most of them had ever seen, the team was driven to prove it belonged."
