The people of Seattle take their Seahawksvery seriously. If you've ever watched a Seahawks game, you know this because analysts go on and on and on about the "12s" and how hard they cheer for their team. They've even caused an earthquake (er, make that multiple earthquakes) in the past during games.
Do Seahawks fans take things too seriously, though? Maybe. Because according to a report out of Seattle, a teacher recently told a 5-year-old student named Zyliah that she wasn't allowed to wear a Broncos dress during a special "Blue Friday" at her school. The teacher told the girl that she would have to either change into something with a Seahawks logo on it or wear her normal school uniform.
We're gonna go out on a limb here and guess that the teacher simply misunderstood what "Blue Friday" was all about. She likely thought that it meant students had to wear Seahawks gear and that, if they chose not to, they could wear their usual uniform. But still, Zyliah's grandmother put the whole thing into the perfect perspective when she was asked about what happened later.
"They should not discriminate against her," Fawn Allen said. "She's 5 years old."
Exactly.
