Nathaniel Wentz is a 17-year-old kid who plays quarterback for his high school football team.
He also works — well, he used to work — during his free time.
Why did we say he used to work? Because he was fired from his gig at Odyssey 1 family entertainment center in Tacoma, Washington after he wore a Broncos jersey to work last Sunday.
Why was he wearing a Broncos jersey? Because his boss told employees that they could wear jerseys of their favorite teams to work since it was the day of the AFC and NFC Championship Games.
Wentz's manager asked him to go home Sunday and change his shirt. Wentz did go home, but then his father told him to stay there after he was unable to get the owner of the place on the phone.

That's how I've felt.
It’s just not worth it even in this cruddy job market. The next time that boss flakes on an employee it might be a lot more serious situation. Plus it’s too much unnecessary stress not knowing where you stand day to day.
That’s potentially one of the worst things he’s playing both sides of the street on but he does it with everything it seems to me. On the domestic side 0bamaCare is throwing American business into a tailspin trying to decide what it should or shouldn’t do.
He wasn’t fired for wearing the jersey. He was fired for leaving and not going back. Who are these loser parents who insert themselves into their kids lives. If the stupid father hadn’t stuck his nose in, the kid would still be working.
If he knew that wearing it would cause problem, he was wrong. However, if a co worker of his had a Jacksonville Jags (does anyone?) wore one and didn’t told tn go home, he should get his job back.
Go Broncos!
