Dumbed down uniform manufacturer defends misspelt jersey

Alas, it's part of the dumbing down of our society.

A Washington, D.C. basketball team, the Rough Riders, of Theodore Roosevelt High School, named for the Progressive Era president Theodore Roosevelt, contracted to buy some jerseys for a boys' team.

Unfortunately, as Yahoo Sports reports, the uniform manufacturer misspelt the jersey as the "Ryders." Shamefully, the manufacturer defended the misspelling as "the cool way" to spell jersey.
