Man cited after forcing son to wear Packers sweat shirt, says he was only joking:
A Pardeeville father accused of forcing his 7-year-old son to wear a Packers sweat shirt and then tying him up during the divisional playoff game last weekend said the incident was a joke that "got blown way out of proportion."
Mathew Kowald, 36, was cited for disorderly conduct Wednesday after authorities arrested him Monday on tentative felony charges of causing mental harm to a child and false imprisonment. He was issued only a disorderly conduct citation for the incident.
Kowald reportedly forced a Packers sweat shirt on the boy, who said to his father that he refused to root for the Packers and was told by Kowald that anyone who said that would be grounded. Kowald allegedly also wrapped his son in insulation tape, forcing him to watch the football game.
When his son still refused to cheer for the Packers, Kowald tried waterboarding and sleep deprivation. Kidding of course. But maybe we should think about transferring some of the real hard cases from Gitmo to Green Bay. If I was a jihadist I know I'd crack if someone told me that I'd be forced to wear Green and Gold, cheer for the infidel Packers, and eat haram brats. What would the ACLU say about that?
"He wanted the juvenile to be a Packers fan, and I would suggest he went about it the wrong way," Columbia County Lt. Wayne Smith said.
You think? Stay classy Packer fans. Stay classy.
