not just you... i was gonna post about it too but figured im no mediator so i didnt.
Basically the Packers are going through a rough year, so what. We need to get over it and be thankful we even have a damn team. How many states don't even HAVE team to cheer for? Quite a few. Maybe I'm too easily thankful for having a team such as the Packers to cheer for, I dunno.
The Packers have some problems, but so does every team. That doesnt mean we as fans should turn against one another or our team.
Brilliant Point ZERO! The most wise post since the loss on Monday night.
Always ask the question: "Compared to what?"
How bad is the 2-8 Packer season for Packer Fans compared to the football fans in Los Angeses.
There are 10 Million people in Los Angeles County that do not have a team to cheer for, or heretofore ***** about. Now lets just say just 10% of those people are NFL Football fans, that means there are one million fans who have no team they can say: "This is my team, I can drive and go see them live, this is my team, that I can go and experience a Game Day Tail Gate Party.
When I had my season tickets to the Raiders in Los Angeles for many years, I can tell you there were many real loyal young football fans from the poor areas around the historic venue who would be there every weekend in the parking lot, enjoying the tail gate party and then they would listen to the game on the radio in the parking lot becuase it was blacked out on T.V. and they did not have the money to get a ticket. But it was at least their team.
Now this does not make a Packer Fan in Moose Jaw, Toronto, Boise, Oklahoma City, Vancouver, or Palm Springs any less of a Packer Fan.
I think Zero has made a great point. Thank God there is a team with the history good or bad that one can cling to regardless of where you live.
Los Angeles and the Ten Million People or One Million Football Fans do not have that. The Rams are in St. Louis, and the Raiders won them a Super Bowl, but are back in Oakland.
