SI.com - NFL - Pa. student humiliated over Broncos jersey - Tuesday January 24, 2006 12:30AM

Let's talk about the Sports Illustrated jinx. We have a rule -- a darn good one too -- that you should not wear any clothing to school that has writting on it. I wish my kids did this always, but they don't. Oh well.
SI.com - NFL - Pa. student humiliated over Broncos jersey - Tuesday January 24, 2006 12:30AM Vannoy was wearing a No. 7 Broncos jersey on Friday, because he is a fan of John Elway, the Broncos' retired Hall of Fame quarterback.

Vannoy said he was so unnerved he left at least 20 questions blank on the 60-question test, and just wants out of Kelly's class because he's afraid the teacher won't treat him fairly now that the story reached the media.
In other news, there is now a push from a few to put a new uniform code into the schools. It calls for one day a week, Fridays, to be a "dress-up day" with good clothes. Not dress down, but dress up.

This is the biggest "non" story in the history of the world. The kid is an attention-searching wuss who in no way shape or form was "humiliated" for wearing the jersey. In all reality, if his parents didn't tell him that he might be teased as a result of wearing the jersey, the kid truly needed be taken taken away from them.

OMG, kids cannot be TEASED for wearing an opponent's jersey anymore! What's next: redheads being interviewed by Channel 4's Jake Ploehger because they have FRECKLES!?!?
