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.

What kind of world are we living in now that we have to be sensitive to the feelings of grotesquely overpaid athletes and owners of multi-million dollar corporations at the expense of a 9 year old little boy? This doesn't sit right with me. If we took a class field trip to the slaughter-house and I wore a PETA shirt (not that I ever would), would I not be allowed to go too, for fear I'd offend the guy who bashes the cow on the skull before decapitating it. I'm sure he'd go crying home to his wife after work and whine about how upset it made him. The court is absolutely wrong here. This IS free speech issue.

Well, I guess the Vikings are a more acceptable group than the Packers. Class outing for all thse who agree, not all thse who participated. Children who don't agree shall be forced to stay at school and do seatwork. Those conforming may attend.

As a matter of principle, this should be appealed.

Should have worn a Lions jersey and given everyone a good laugh instead.

A perfect case for "loser pays" laws.

come on... this is hardly about "doing what's right," or "standing up for one's beliefs..." it's about this kid and his father lacking in "social graces." try to make it into an issue of higher calling, but it isn't... who cares if one exudes rudeness as long as one's rights are the issue... some things are worth fighting for... this was plain stupid... haven't we all been told at one time or another to bite our tongue, even if what we have to say is right? there is a time a place for everything... this was not the time and place to flaunt one's team loyalty... i know, the hardcores will let me know in no uncertain terms that this was worth fighting for... i disagree...
