"It was a heartwarming moment of
High school wrestler Malik Stewart squared off against Mitchell McKee in the Minnesota state wrestling championship at the 120-pound weight class and after a hard-fought match, he was eventually pinned by McKee. The match itself wasn’t the story, though — it was what happened just after.
Instead of storming off, angry at the loss, Stewart shook McKee’s hand and then walked over to McKee’s father, who was watching from the sidelines. Stewart knew McKee’s father was suffering from cancer, so he shook his hand, gave him a hug, and told him to keep fighting. He then congratulated him on his son’s victory.
The fans in attendance cheered the moment, and there were more than a few tears shed."
