[QUOTE="PFanCan, post: 431833, member: 1989"] I think all die-hard fans have a similar "right" to raise hell when their team fails to win. To say that we have more of a "right" to do so is arrogant, imo. Emotionally, we are no different from any sports franchise with a similar long term duration in one city. Come on- as much as I enjoy saying "Bears Suck" (and they do), their fan base is as emotionally involved as anyone. Same can be said for many other clubs (Pittsburgh, NYG, Dallas, etc.). I am proud that Green Bay can consider itself one of these franchises with such an intense following, but I wouldn't say it's any different. And financially, our ability to purchase a couple hundred bucks of stock once or twice in a lifetime is a drop in the bucket compared with typical annual costs of season ticket holders for any professional sport in any city. Heck, even the lifetime costs of [I]NFL Ticket[/I] (or [I]Gamepass[/I] for those of us who are international) dwarfs the financial investment of a single share of Packer stock. Geez, an authentic jersey is even more expensive that the stock. Let's keep our modesty here. [/QUOTE]
