I say good for you. Screw them.

Pierre,

As some have already pointed out, I'd respect the wishes as expressed by the boy's father for the time being.

If the father was my brother, I'd take him aside and determine if this was truly the boy's wish or if he himself had a problem with the kilt. If he was not my brother, I would speak with the mother, and then the boy if necessary, to determine if it was really a problem.

I am often the "wierd" uncle to my nephews and nieces, and they may express embarassment sometimes, but I usually have a conversation with them and they end up seeing things in a similar manner as I do. Mostly, I want my nephews and nieces to understand that bowing to peer pressure is normally the weakest way to deal with an issue.

Good luck,

Matt

Well, that's crap.

Oh, well, they're missing out.

Can I stick that in my signature?

Can a college age boy(man?) really be that embarrassed in front of anybody? I might understand a sixth grader or thereabouts being overly concerned about what people think, but a college age boy?. Methinks it is the father that is overly concerned. The player is going to be more focused on the game than the spectators.

Considering the cowardice of his father it's no wonder his son hasn't grown a pair.

Wear It.................

I agree, don't go, but your nephew may be disappointed that you weren't there. Send a card apologising for your absence, but explaining that some bigot prevented your attendance, naming no names, of course.

Jes, How small is this College? Are they playing on a Middle School Football field or is it a city park and no bleachers? How are they going to know you are his Uncle? So you wear a kilt. Who is going to know you? Is the town that small? Come on! Most likely missed the game or went in (H*ll wear shorts No shirt and a Clown wig and look like a College Student.
Oh, and Blue paint like Mel Gibson.)
