A man upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Packers jersey during last week's win over the Seahawks was cited for disorderly conduct after restraining the boy for an hour and taping the jersey onto him.
The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.
Ok, we've heard of some extreme behavior when it comes to fans' allegiance to their teams, but this one is right up there with the worst.

You've got to think that these events are far more common than what gets reported.
I remember a few years back when a student was publicly humiliated by his teacher and fellow students for wearing the opposing teams jersey to school before a playoff game.

Some fans just don't get the boundary's between sports and real life.
