50,000 shirts and a scholarship offer

[DonDiego]

This is the first time I read the story. Sorry, either I didn't get all of it or I'm just a jaded old a-hole. Can't wait to see the responses to this one.

I try to look before posting a thread. I didn't see it. Admin should merge.

Watch out, you may offend some band supporters who feel bullied into wearing this kids shirt

Wish I could like this 1000 times.

Now, what are we gonna do about the bullying our FB team is experiencing every Saturday.

I hope those little b*tches that were making fun of him get what they deserve!

Likely they'll be a Seminole or Gator fan, so they'll get what they deserve...

Congrats young fella. Keep those grades up

Can't win on the field...make sure you win off it. Proud of the University.

Haven't seen a Father mentioned but might have missed it.

His teacher responded to an email I sent her and she only mentioned the young man and his mother in hopes of getting one of the tshirts. Either way, this is a GREAT example of the Volunteer Spirit. This young man's life is changed forever!

Is it bad that when i saw the headline, "50,000 shirts and a scholarship" I literally thought this was a promotion to try to get people to come to the game saturday?

Tennessee offers scholarship to bullied T-shirt kid.
Good luck to the kid and his future.

This is a great story it shows just how this University and fan base truly are, congratulations to the young man hope to see him on the hill in around 13 years. VFL!!

Go Vols!!

I hope the kids is a D-1 QB we could use one.

Why is the boy's smudged out? It's not the 0-2 record, is it?

 

[Voltopia]

At this rate they're going to name the kid starting QB. Probably for Bama.

 

[SAPPER 5]

Does the boy and his parents not want to give their names and show their faces?
Has Florida media shown him but not Tennessee media?

I've seen a couple news stories down here, but they've not shown his face. He is a minor, after all, and then the whole bullying aspect of it as well.

I’m going to pay some kids to bully my nephew. Pretty sure he wants to go to UT. Probably isn’t good enough to get a football scholarship.

That's totally the wrong attitude to have for this situation.

Sorry, what should my attitude be?

 

[mrmax86]

Sorry, what should my attitude be?

I don't know, maybe be happy for the kid and not jealous that he was bullied and/or trying to take away from him?

Many Kids get bullied everyday, but only certain ones get opportunities like this

This story made me dig my UT hats from the trash. Could not be more proud of the University and the fan base.

So bottom line seems to be that being bullied was great for him. As they say, turning lemons into lemonade.

Great story.
I'm glad he's being rewarded for designing a top-selling t-shirt.

(I'm thinking sales/profit likely covers his scholarship, yes I know the proceeds are to go to an anti-bullying charity)
