14-Year Old Anna Grant Booed By Colts Fans During Playoff Game

Anna Grant, a 14 year old girl, was honored for her excellence in the Punt, Pass, and Kick competition during halftime of the Colts’ playoff game Sunday.
In between the third and fourth quarters during last Sunday’s Chargers-Colts game in the doomed RCA Dome, young people from the east coast to Hawaii were honored for winning their respective “Pass, Punt & Kick” competitions.
However, Anna Grant from Stratham, New Hampshire kinda knew her announcement might be different….
“Before I went down there, my friends said, ‘You know, you’ll probably get booed.’ I was kind of waiting for it. It really didn’t bother me at all. People at the game came up to me afterward and said, ‘It’s not you. It’s your jersey.’”
It sure was. Little Anna was booed. But it appears she’ll do something the Indianapolis Colts can’t. She’ll be wearing her New England Patriots jersey at the AFC Championship game on Sunday.
Patriots’ owner Robert Kraft was taken aback as he witnessed the incident.
“Why should a champion be booed? She’s supposed to be honored.”
Well, she will be. At Kraft’s invitation, Anna Grant will participate in the coin toss during the final game before the Super Bowl.
Class rewarded.
