While most of my Boston pals are still healing from the Patriots SuperBowl loss, some folks in Nicaragua and Romania are actually enjoying the Pats defeat. Well enjoying the gear given to them after the Pats defeat.

Thanks to the NFL and WorldVision( to learn more!) championhip gear meant for players didn’t go to waste, instead goods were shipped to needy children.

Some of the recipients were the smiling children at a school in the San Gregorio neighborhood in the town of Diriamba.The 290 shirts and caps with the Pats logo were handed out by aid workers.

Some of the kids wound up swimming in the shirts, since many were XXX-large in order to fit the players.”I like this a lot,” said one little girl. “We never thought we would receive shirts from professional American football players.”

Some 200 kids got shirts, with more set to get T’s and hats in another part of town today. Most of the kids did not know who the Patriots were.Thousands of additional shirts and caps are on the way, as the NFL donates all the unsellable Patriots “championship” gear that was manufactured before the team’s historic loss.
