Why A Super Bowl Loss Is Good News For Kids In Mongolia & Zambia

Even for people who don’t follow football, Super Bowl Sunday is a de facto holiday here in the U.S., filled with its own rituals, language and imagery. It’s also a time to celebrate for people in some underdeveloped countries, who will reap the benefit of the 100,000+ pieces of clothing that the NFL can’t sell.
As you’ve probably already deduced after years of watching Super Bowl champs slip into pre-printed shirts announcing their victory, those garments weren’t printed during the two-minute warning. No, there are boxes of shirts and hats proudly proclaiming the other team’s victorious effort.

How about worrying about the kids in this country first?

I Agree what about our country first. Why do we always give to other countries when we have so many in this country that need.

Helping any kid is good, kids over there got nothing.

On the other hand, I wouldn't mind if they went to poor kids in the 49ers hometown. They got poor in San Francisco.
