I posted this story on your video about the Doug Flutie hail mary, but since that got deleted I thought I would post this again. In 2003 when I was 8 years old the main thing I cared about in my life was the NFL team the Carolina Panthers. The Panthers are usually terrible, and were especially so during my childhood, but that year we had made it into the playoffs. In round 2 of the playoffs the Panthers were up against the far far better Rams and the game had been a mixed bag. The Panthers were able to hang on though and the game went into overtime. in OT, our kicker had missed what would have been a game winning kick. Immediately after that the Rams set up for a short field goal that was almost certainly going to be the game winner. My dad who was watching with me actually got up and left the room because he didn't want to see the team lose. I, in my little 8 year old voice said to him "Don't give up hope!" and miraculously the field goal missed. The Panthers got the ball back and won what ended up being only the second NFL game to ever go into double overtime. I think about that game a lot, and I still hold onto what I said about hope very dearly.

Dear John and Hank, I look up to and draw inspiration from a lot of people, some I have the opportunity to be close to, and some are on the other side of the screen ( like you are right now). But let me tell you this, in these 16 years of my (small) life, no one has kept me so motivated to make the world suck less than you. You have always been the voice that inspires me to work even on the worst days. This video talks about effort and it's non futility, and I cannot express how thankful I am to both of you to keep me motivated through your videos to put the necessary effort in whatever I do. You have taught me it's ok to not be ok, and strive to make the "not ok" , relatively "ok". Thank you so so much! -Dishari

I know this is comparing Soccer and Hockey, but the Colorado Avalanche literally did that. Went from last place in the division, found their legs and went into the playoffs as the lowest team in the division. Their first round (best of 7 games) was against the best team of the division. Where they WON. If you're not paying attention (at least vaguely) to hockey right now, you'll notice that this has happened like.... 4 times this playoff with 4 different teams taking out the top teams despite being the lowest ones. It is pandemonium. And it is excellent.

Thanks, John. Yesterday I listened to Anthropocene Reviewed, the part about Harvey.

It's quite a bit like another recent sporting story (ironically I'm a Brit, who watches an American team). The Tampa Bay Lightning had come off a record-breaking season, dominating the National Hockey League, winning 62 out of 82 games. By every measure, they were expected to thrash the Columbus Blue Jackets (a team which barely scraped into the playoffs by a single point). In the first game, Tampa were 3-0 up and everyone's predictions looked like they were coming true. When things looked ALMOST hopeless, Columbus scored. Once. Twice. Three times. Four times. They went on to sweep Tampa 4 games to none in one of the biggest upsets in hockey history.

My cat got diagnosed with terminal cancer yesterday. We are all very sad about it and it's been a rough two days. Even though I know she will die, this video reminded me of how much there is so much to be hopeful and grateful about. I'm hopeful she'll live longer than they expect, but I'm also hopeful that she will be happy and content and without pain. Thank you for reminding me that even in despair, there is always a chance and that even if it doesn't happen, hope still matters.

I literally yelled out loud when they scored the second goal. I cant stream the match so I had the score pinned on my phone. This got me a few puzzled looks. Worth it!

I feel the same about my hometown team of Norwich this week. After having a terrible last season, we're now in the premiership next season. and every time we're promoted we're often the team with the smallest budget - Pukki, our main goal scorer this season was a free transfer! And he scored more goals than anyone in all the leagues! I'm super proud right now and I hope that AFC stay up and keep going up! :)

I’m in the final six month stretch of a PhD where things have failed much more than they’ve succeeded and it’s videos like this that help inspire me to keep going despite all the difficulties.

AFC Wimbledon is the only sports team I'd even consider supporting, because John makes it into such a metaphorical and symbolic opportunity to think about the human condition and I just love it so much :) Also. JOHN GREEN YOU ARE LITERALLY AMAZING AND MY IDOL.
