In December 2016, footage appeared online purportedly showing a Make-a-Wish experience in which a sick child's attempt to score a touchdown abruptly ended when he was brutally tackled. While various versions of this footage were shared with titles claiming that it depicted a real incident, this video was actually a comedy sketch from Jimmy Tatro. The video was originally shared on the YouTube channel Life According to Jimmy on 12 December 2016, and was accompanied by a full list of credits, clearly indicating that it was a scripted sketch and not genuine footage of a failed Make-A-Wish (or, in some versions, Grant-A-Wish) experience: Further clues that the video was not real were in the description of the video on its YouTube page: Tommy Douglas is granted his wish to score a touchdown for the Los Angeles Traffic. While Los Angeles-area traffic is frequently described as being an entity unto itself, no such professional team by that name exists in Los Angeles.
