I'm sure most of you have heard about the Saints/Cowboys issue up here in NWLA. My entire family is Saints fans. My mom was a Cowboys fan in the 80's but I converted her. My 7 year old nephew has never been a big football fan. The times he has said he was going to watch football with me he usually ends up playing video games instead. The only sports clothing he owns are Saints/LSU/LA Tech. Well recently he got it in his head that he needs to be a fan of both the Saints and Cowboys because he lives in Louisiana and he was born in Texas. I don't know who fed him this nonsense. It wasn't his mom. It's not his father. His father isn't a big sports fan but if you ask him he'll tell you he's a Saints fan even though he's from Texas. It must be a kid or teacher at school. That's all I can think of. Our church had a Saints-Cowboys competition. They sold shirts for both teams and on Sunday everyone wore their shirts. If the Cowboys won the competition the money raised would go to a mission in Dallas. If the Saints won the money would go to a Katrina charity. I don't think they announced the winner yet but I heard they ran out of Saints shirts and twice had to order more. Supposedly they had plenty of Cowboys shirts. My nephew decided he needed both shirts. And apparently on Sunday he decided to wear the Cowboys shirt. My sister is at fault for allowing him to purchase and wear a Cowboys shirt. But my understanding is he was too embarassed to go in on sunday because when he got there all the other kids were wearing Saints shirts. I thought that would be the end of it. Yesterday he showed up in a LSU shirt....Nothing wrong with that. He ended up playing video games instead of watching the game. No surprise there. At halftime my mother and sister decided the game was going to end too late for us to eat. So we were going to eat in the living room during the 2nd half. My nephew begins cheering for the Cowboys! I don't know if he was just trying to get under my skin or what but it worked. I almost had to leave. Unless I'm at a Saints game...I always watch the Saints alone...He went back to playing video games after we stripped Williams, but this is still bothering me. My nephew has a problem and needs help. What should I do?
