so ESPN says were Americas team and the best franchise in north america? wow I might have to stop with all the negative comments about them.
Did anyone read the negative comments on the post? there is this one which is extremely flawed...
Packer fans that think they own the team always make me laugh. That so called “stock” was actually a donation to the team.
The “stock” entitles you to NOTHING.
The “stock” LEGALLY CAN NOT BE SOLD – therefore it is completely worthless. Of course you can give the worthless piece of paper to your friends or relatives when you die, I’m sure they will be very grateful.
The “stock” does not give you a vote on anything like real stock does.
The “stock” is nothing more than a piece of paper that morons can hang on their wall to show people how they donated $200 to a pro sports franchise.
The fact that the team even calls it a stock and the fans eat it up shows how dumb some packer fans are.
When is the last time you bought a stock that specifically stated that it can never be sold, and entitles you to no rights or vote on what the organization does?
So please explain to me why some people think the piece of paper (essentially a receipt for their donation) has anything in common with real stock.
Honestly even calling that piece of paper “stock” is borderline fraud, because it is in no way even close to being stock in the company.
Tell me again how the fans “own the packers.”
then this one as well...
Why does ESPN have such a ******* for Green Bay? Personally I’ve always thought the best team in the NFL is Pittsburgh. The best team in sports history though? Gotta be Detroit Red Wings… maybe New York Yankees. I guess it is all opinionated though.
Just so you know, cheeseheads… this isn’t something that will be written down in history books. It’s just ESPN’s opinion.
Skol Vikings.
to which my response is, correct, but our record 13 NFL Championships are in the record books.
and another ..

“Actually — that stock entitles us to a team that can NEVER be moved.”
There is one way the Packers would move. If the rest of the owners decided they were sick of supporting welfare cases like GB and Buffalo and ended revenue sharing. The Packers would no longer be competitive no matter how many $200 sheets of paper they sold. Community “ownership” wouldn’t be viable and the franchise would be gone.
smart guy must not realize the Packers are profitable.
another gem...
Have the Packers made the playoffs for 20 straight seasons? Is Green Bay known as “Footballtown” like Detroit is “Hockeytown?” Do assistant coaches repeatedly get plucked from your staff for head coaching vacancies? The city of Detroit is crappy, but that doesn’t change the kind of franchise the Red Wings are.
No, we arent known as football town, were known as titletown you moron.
