Seven year olds refuse to do a lot of things. Often is it irrational. My daughter when she was young refused to wear anything with polka dots.

The father overreacted. He sounds like he has bigger problems.

And why, pray tell, do you consider that to be irrational?

Sounds more like good taste to me.

The dad was stupid for doing it, however, what he did wasn’t illegal, it was having some fun at his son’s expense. All dads do that on occasion, and the kids generally get even eventually in some way.

On the other hand, the cops shouldn’t have been involved, nor the court, nor should the dad have been arrested.

I agree he was over reacting, but so did, apparently everyone else.

Agreed. I could see it if it were a Cowboys jersey-- but Packers?
