Each year at the Super


Friday, February 15, 2008

nicaraguapatstee.jpgEach year at the Super Bowl, the NFL comes prepared with championship t-shirts and hats for both teams. After the game, the league has a program to quickly ship the embarrassing loser shirts out of the country by donating them to charities. Thus, the commemorative hats and t-shirts made for celebrations of a hypothetical New England Patriots victory were given by aid workers to a group of impoverished Nicaraguan schoolchildren. The clothing bears the slogan "19-0," representing the shattered dreams of Boston area sports fans. Since the clothes were meant for linebackers and assorted other diesel football types many of them are sadly oversized for the nevertheless grateful Nicaraguan urchins. (via)
