Are you telling me an entire NFL team is afraid of one kid wearing a jersey of an opposing team?
Sounds like this kid was a "troublemaker" in class on a regular basis, and the teachers just looked for a way to screw with him.
I do think it was kinda trivial to take this matter to court though. Talk about a waste of taxpayer dollars.

The kid and his dad (specially the dad) should be embarassed at their own stupidity. Way to go dad, show your son what's really worth fighting for. Geewhiz....

They would have had a better chance had they filed a class action suit on behalf of all Packers fans.

Glad to see the New Prague school district is so concerned about their students' education. After all, everyone knows a child's education isn't complete without the color purple. As for green, the enviromentalist program will handle that.

Personally, (being a native Philadelphian) if my son asked me to buy him a, say, Dallas Cowboys jersey, I’d tell him to get out of my house, move to Dallas, get a job and buy his own damn Cowboys jersey.
It speaks to the character (or lack thereof) of an individual to embrace your local team’s arch rival and try to flaunt that when the local team invites you to their facility. I wonder where he gets that kind of personality flaw… couldn’t have anything to do with his father who decided to try to make this some bastardization of a Constitutional Case, could it?

Yes, ve do haf our vays.
Rant ON. If you don't me do anything I want, regardless of other people's feelings, and consequently I suffer from a negative self image, I'll sic the MCLU, ACLU, federal courts, liberal newspapers, NOW, PETA, ELF, ALF, NAMBLA, Planned Parenthood, Green Peace, NPR, Paul Wellstone and my Dad on you. Rant OFF.
Schools gotta have some way of maintaining a modicum of discipline. It hurts me to say it, but the school is on the side of the angels on this one. Imagine, for once the angels (and the referees) aren't on the side of the Packers, when's the last time that happened?

The Peepul's Republic of Minnesota strikes again.
A kid in a class that won a geography contest is denied his reward by a teacher (i.e. Wellstone voter) because he might offend big money football players. Actually, I think the players would have singled him out for some ribbing , just because he had the balls to do what he thought right.

If this kid had inserted the word "Fudge" on his Packers jersey, they would have had to let him in

Wasn't there a case very similar to this recently, where a kid got in trouble for wearing a Pepsi shirt to a Coke sponsored school picture (or something of the sort)?

"After learning of the controversy, the Vikings gave Rocky and his father tickets to attend a game at the Metrodome between the Vikings and Packers that happened to be scheduled on the Sunday after the lawsuit was filed."Awww...wasn't that ever sweet?
Had the kid's name been Rockette & he a declared homosexual?
He might've stood a chance at winning this thing.
As it is, he's a white kid & that spells, no cigar.
Well, that's just the way the cake breaks in the United States these days, eh.
Hey, thank God Chris Carter wasn't *offended*!!
Couldn't have that, now.
...nope, uh-uh.

The fact that a judge agreed to hear this frivilous, stupid-a** suit goes a long way to illustrate what's wrong with the legal system. This one should've never seen the light of day!
