Seattle-Area Teenager Loses Job After Wearing Broncos Jersey To Work

Nathaniel Wentz thought when his boss told him to wear a jersey to work on Sunday, he could wear any team's uniform.

Apparently not.

Wentz, 17, worked at Odyssey 1, a children’s play center in Tacoma, Wash. Before the big conference championship games on Sunday, Wentz's boss reportedly told employees to wear a jersey to support their team. Seeing as Tacoma is just outside Seattle, most employees wore Seahawks gear. Wentz, a Broncos fan, wore a No. 88 Demaryius Thomas jersey.


That didn't fly with the management, and Wentz was sent home to change. Wentz's dad tried to call the owner but never heard back, so his son stayed home. The next day he was fired.
