From the AP, what happened to the shirts and hats printed up with the expectation that the Patriots would win the Super Bowl:
The New England Patriots won the Super Bowl and ended the season with a perfect 19-0 record - at least it looks that way in Nicaragua.
The NFL donated 290 Patriots hats and an equal number of team jerseys trumpeting the slogans "Super Bowl Champions, 19-0" to impoverished children from two small communities in southern Nicaragua.
Thursday's gifts could not change history - the Patriots lost the Feb. 3 game to the New York Giants 17-14 - but they made a lot of youngsters in the communities of San Gregorio and Buena Vista very happy, said Miriam Diaz, spokeswoman for the humanitarian organization World Vision, which arranged the donation with the NFL.
Of course, one might object to calling this "trade," as the shirts and hats are given away. Perhaps, then, we should refer to it as "clothing aid." (And, of course, negotiate some WTO rules on it, just for fun!)
