I love my teams to death, but some of you just take things way too far. This for example is one of those times. Goodness! A 12-year-old kid was knocked out by his teacher after he insulted his favorite football team. SMH.

A schoolboy says he was punched by a teacher after he joked about his favorite football team.
12-year-old Reginald Wells says he was hit at the Willie Ray Smith Middle School in Beaumont, Texas, in an exclusive interview with 12News Sunday.
‘The last person’s voice I heard was some girl saying that I should call my mom, and then he like hit me, and I blacked out,’ the 7th grade pupil said.
Reginald says he stopped in the hallway to speak to a teacher. He said he made fun of the teacher’s favourite team and that was when he was hit.
‘All of a sudden he just hit me, in my shoulder… And I looked at him like “what the heck?”‘
Reginald, who is 4ft 11 tall and weighs 80 pounds, pushed the teacher’s shoulder and then he claims the adult punched him in the face and knocked him out. Reginald said he woke up a few seconds later.
He said: ‘The left side of my face was numb, my lip hurt, my head was hurt, like it had been shaken.’
Adrianne says the teacher was fired and escorted off the premises immediately.
Reginald said the teacher spoke to him afterwards saying: ‘I can’t apologize for what I did, I was just having a bad day and I just snapped.’
