At first, I thought he was one of those wanna-be rebel kids that did it to piss others off, but turns out he moved there from Indy and is a legit fan. This story was also on Fark.com with a great headline:

Great way to win new friends, boy. (Actually sounds like a special-needs child with such poor judgment.) And his parents also prove their allegiance to Polian's Ponies by whining to a higher authority. Classic stuff.

The polls indicate the school was being ridiculous, did they even read the story??? The school actually has uniforms and they made an exception for black and gold that day. It's not just some regular public school where everybody can wear whatever they want. So really the kid was breaking the rules, if I read that correctly. Plus he was foretold that he would get in trouble for wearing blue.

Good, they had a Black and Gold Day, not a regular dress down day so the idiot should have been sent home. You dont want to wear Black and Gold then wear your uniform. If you reall want to support the Colts, wear a hat, at least you can take it off.

You can't be serious.

This is what the principal said: "If you like Indiana so much, why don't you go back?''

Now I know they only spend 1/3rd per child in the La. school system that they pay up north, but seriously, shouldn't a $40k principal's job yield better quality than that?

First of all, the kid said he "thinks" the principal said something like that. Second, I'm not defending that quote if it is true, but the kid should have been punished, period. He broke a rule.

Not funny.

I live in Manhattan and my kid has, for some reason unknown to me , decided that Tom Brady is his favorite NFL player. He occasionally wears #12's Jersey to school on casual Friday. Suggesting that he should be assaulted for this is not humorous.

You're serious? I think of you as a thoughtful Poster...but, you really mean that?
