Superbowl XLII swag proclaiming Patriots the champions ends up in Nicaragua
A while back I hypothesized that NFL swag incorrectly identifying the New England Patriots as the XLII Superbowl champs would end up in a village in Africa. As it turns out, I was actually right — sort of. It turned out not to be a village in Africa, but in Nicaragua.
Shirts and caps proclaiming the victory of the New England Patriots — when the American football team actually lost the latest Super Bowl — have ended up in the hands of poor Nicaraguan children.
That’s not to say some of this swag won’t turn up in Africa. I’m sure there is enough wrong swag for most of the third world. The Patriots were more or less crowned the Superbowl champs before the game was even played.
