I'm sure my daughter would want to wear the mis-spelled, nicknamed jersey, thinking it's "cute".

It's not cute. My daughter is not a Twinkie to R...she's K and she's the best basketball player on the team (by stats...I'm not a blind parent...she constantly has the most rebounds, points, and assists), and needs to quit being 2nd to that girl just because she wants to remain her friend.

This has been a long brewing issue...my daughter is like I was at her age...a peacekeeper...to the point of suffocating herself just to keep a friend...and I don't want my daughter making mistakes I did (always playing up how good my friends played to the point that I almost made myself look bad so my friends wouldn't get jealous, etc).

I guess being I've been dealing with this so long is why something that is "just a shirt" to most anyone who would read this, is a "final straw" to me. haha

There is truth to the saying "nice guys finish last" and she's got too much going for her to finish last, if that makes sense.
