Pummeled, for good measures

A story broke the other day that was quite alarming. Last Sunday, following the Jets dismantling of the only team to lead in every game this season (surprise, surprise, the Cleveland Browns) and 8 year old Jets fan took one for the team. The boys mother, who NBC news (which broke the story) calls Danielle, stated

 "As my husband was walking, holding my son's hand, a guy from behind tackled him. A drunken Browns fan tackled him and pulled him out of his dad's hand. He was on the ground crying,"  according to the station.

Wow. Not only is Cleveland the worst sports city in the world because of their poor teams, they are now the worst sports city in the world because of poor fans. I mean, if you're that mad, tackle dad- just leave the kid alone.
So, as any good PR magician knows, this is a great situation to capitalize from. The Jets PR department offered to fly the family to New Jersey to watch a game in a luxury suite at the New Meadowlands Stadium and receive autographed memorabilia from coach Rex Ryan and players.
However....the family turned down the offer. What the crap?!?

I mean- free shit from Rex paired with a skybox to watch the Texans lose all with free beer and hot dogs?
This kid, if he has awoken from his coma, better be pissed off at his parents. I have no idea why they wouldn't accept. Un.believe.able!
