Student Sent Home Wearing Steelers Jersey

PITTSBURGH (KDKA) -- We all know the Steelers nation is far and wide.

A little boy in Washington State tried to show of his Steelers pride, but was sent home from school.

Grendon Bailie, 13, lives in Tacoma, Wash.

It was Seahawks Appreciation Day at School, but Grendon isn't a Seahawks fan – he loves the Steelers.

He wore his No. 32 jersey to school, but administrators told him his clothing was inappropriate and promptly sent him home.

Grendon says he doesn't think it was fair.

He said not everyone is a Seahawks fan and if everyone else got to wear their team colors, then he should too.
