Go Warriors! Better dead than Red
Very creative. ;D
Love this poll! The last answer is the only one that has no justification.
Why is there no...all of the above option??
I don't like any of them but that last one is horrifying. That's essentially saying to that person "Hey, I got you this because you look like a guy who I want to punch in the face"

You bring up a great point and why it's so easy to hate Badger fans...and this goes for football or basketball...how many of them even know all the players names?? I'd bet very few. They root for them because "it's the state team", but they know nothing about the game or even the players names. So, if you gave someone a Davison jersey, the first thing they are likely to think is "Oh, that's that kids name??" "I never knew his name, I just like him". ::)

I could resist punching most of the Badgers in the face, but hardly Davison.
I feel like buying a Davison jersey for someone would be a flop.

Or they would say "Oh, thanks--who is Davison? I was hoping for a Davidson jersey." :P
As a parent, it's my job to raise my kids right, and keep them safe in these crazy, modern times. That's why #2 is unacceptable.
Hating Davison's guts as a player is one thing. He does uniquely represent all that's worth hating about the Badgers. But it goes beyond that. Buying someone a jersey with his name on it means you'd be supporting UW financially (through licensing rights) and actually helping to promote the school (by bringing another item of Badger branded apparel into the world where it can be seen by others). That's what makes it unforgivable.
There are no Davison jerseys. WI doesn't have the names on their jerseys.

That's my answer.
Is it bad that I think the option about the Grinch's therapist is the least offensive of these choices?

Facts have no place here!
The varmints are a no name team. Gard can't recruit. Their players are mediocre to walk one with exception of Happ. Would love to see the Warriors blow them out by 20+.
