You know something else, I'll bet the protest was contrived by the local troublemaker anyway. I'll further bet that most of the kids took the footballs and are having a great time playing in the minefields. :aok

What is sad is the dumb twit(s) who allowed the balls with graphics to be given out and not checking if some moslems would find the graphics offensive.

It doesn't take much gray matter between the ears to know that the moslems will find any excuse to stur up trouble. The dumb twit(s) played right into their hand.:eek:

A good idea that went snafu.

In the words of a beloved would-have-been president, Bob Dole, "(we) just can't win."
