You're a Packers Fan, Son ... Got It?
12 hours ago

PORTAGE, Wis. (AP) — Upset that his 7-year-old son wouldn't wear a Green Bay Packers jersey during the team's playoff victory Saturday, a man restrained the boy for an hour with tape and taped the jersey onto him.

Mathew Kowald was cited for disorderly conduct in connection with the incident with his son at their home in Pardeeville, Lt. Wayne Smith of the Columbia County Sheriff's Department said. Pardeeville is about 30 miles north of Madison.

The 36-year-old Kowald was arrested Monday after his wife told authorities about the incident. Kowald was taken to the county jail and held until Wednesday, when he pleaded no contest, paid a fine of $186 and was released.

Kowald's wife filed a restraining order Wednesday, so Kowald will not be able to have contact with his family, Smith said. Smith said other domestic issues have surfaced, though he wouldn't elaborate.

The boy refused to wear the jersey Saturday, when the Packers beat the Seattle Seahawks in a playoff game, Smith said. Smith said the incident sounded strange when reported at first, but the mother took pictures with her cell phone and that type of evidence is difficult to dispute.

Kowald, contacted later Wednesday by the Portage Daily Register, said the incident started as a joke. His son challenged him by saying he wouldn't root for the Packers. When he tied the boy up, the youngster was laughing while his wife took pictures, he said.

"Then he couldn't get out and he got upset and that's it. It lasted a minute," he said. "I didn't mean no harm, and he knows that, but I haven't been able to tell him that."

District Attorney Jane Kohlwey said there wasn't enough evidence to support felony charges.

"I wouldn't agree with what he did, but legally a parent can restrain a child," she said. "I have no proof of emotional damage. ... I have to follow the law.

'other domestic issues'....hmmph. Sounds like wifey has an agenda. To get Pops forcibly removed from his home. Looks like she found her opportunity.

People here are fanatics when it comes to the packers. You know, tickets to the playoff game in Green Bay this Sunday are selling for 1200$ or more on ebay? It's forecasted to be around 0 degrees and snowing(as of now). It is such a big deal that the local news puts something packer-related between every segment. I've had enough, make the super-bowl over.

I will be pleased when the media just gets off of the Pats' nuts and I want an asterisk on their "Perfect Season" in the record books. I guess it's necessary to mention that I live on the thruway between NY and Boston (which is the state of Connecticut). Not that there's anything wrong with that.
