African Child Loves His 'World Champion Seahawks' T-Shirt
KAMPALA,
UGANDA—10-year-old Akello Semesseke, wearing the new "World Champion
Seattle Seahawks" T-shirt given to him Tuesday by an anonymous NFL-licensed
promotions manufacturer, expressed his gratitude for the gift while admitting
he was not familiar with the sport of American football. "The Seahawks must be
as generous of heart as they are victorious on the field of whatever sport they
play to share their clothing with us," said Semesseke, whose entire village was
given one each of the teal and gray shirts, with one exception. "My father
refused his new shirt," Semesseke explained, "because although he did need one,
he felt it would be disrespectful to the World Champion Eagles, who kindly gave
him both a shirt and cap last year." Semesseke added that if the Seahawks had
included 80 cents a day along with the shirt, he could eat.
