Look, let's just say that I've been a lifelong fan of another team, a team that's shown me over the last 12+ years or so just how important good ownership is. Ultimately, old age has taught me, you're cheering not so much for a team (or for a coach or players) as you are for the owner, the only thing about your team that likely won't change more than once during your lifetime. The owner gives your team its character, its heart, it's in/consistency over the decades. The team is the owner.
Sure, I've attended games just to watch Favre throw the pass that seemed thrown seconds before the receiver even hinted at the cut, and I'm looking forward to catching Rogers' artistry now as well. But the ownership, my friends, is why I like the Packers. I like that the team is owned (largely) by the collective fan, not a single person, not a family, not simply lucky businessmen. And starting this month, part of that owner is me.
