Matt Bonner Fan Ordered to Cut Hair

School officials call Spurs player's likeness a distraction.

A young San Antonio Spurs fan is in hot water after having the back of his head shaved to look like his favorite player, Concord’s Matt Bonner.

According to KABB-TV, the city’s Fox affiliate, Patrick Gonzalez, a student at Woodlake Hills Middle School, got the haircut to support Bonner, who is his favorite player. However, school officials are ticked off because the haircut is a distraction and plan on suspending him from school. Patrick’s mother says her son received an OK to get the haircut but school officials are denying the claim.

Gonzalez doesn’t want to be kicked out of school so he plans on shaving the Bonner likeness off. No word yet on what Bonner thinks of the cut.
