[QUOTE="Murgen, post: 247728, member: 917"] One reason why Lambeau is sold out every game because people do feel closer to the team than in most cities with professional sports teams. What is "Gay" about that!? Nothing. I'm sure the players appreciate a fan base that truly gives a damn and doesn't sit home and abandon them to an empty stadium the first sign of trouble. So what if it's "pay for play" deep down. That is part of it, but not the whole truth. Reggie could have stayed in Philly if all he cared about was money. It's well known he came to GB to win a Championship. Reaching his goal overshadowed money. Just because I get paid to do a job, that doesn't mean that is the ONLY reason I go to work. I think that is a cynical way to look at professional athletes as ONLY looking for a paycheck. If you read the interviews of retired players from different sports. Many of them say, "I just wish I could still play the game." If it was all about money most players would be gone after their first injury. The money doesn't hurt as a great incentive to play for X team. Favre had enough good vibes to sign a long term contract to play in GB. If he didn't feel comfortable or have anything in common with the people of Wisconsin, he would have been long gone before the 08 season. He probably felt a hell of a lot more comfortable with the people of GB than NY. [/QUOTE]
