Patriots’ dreams go south . . . and kids benefit
By Herald wire services | Friday, February 15, 2008 | http://www.bostonherald.com | N.E. Patriots
Hundreds of T-shirts arriving in Nicaragua this week might lead one to believe that the New England Patriots [team stats] didn’t blow their perfect season in the Super Bowl.
Unfortunately, they did.
But several hundred poor Nicaraguan kids will be outfitted in Patriots 19-0 Super Bowl Champs T-shirts and hats, according to the Nica Times of Nicaragua. The National Football League teamed up with the Christian group World Vision to distribute millions of dollars worth of the losing Super Bowl team’s licensed Reebok apparel in poor parts of Nicaragua and Romania.
“World Vision helps us to ensure that no NFL apparel goes to waste,” said David Krichavsky, the league’s director of community relations. “We are pleased to find a good home for clothing by getting it to those who need it most,” he told the Nicaraguan paper.
