True I guess not ALL are trash... And the POTUS obviously doesnt know football!!!
I was kinda forced to go and see the Bears play at Wembley a couple of years ago with a Redskins fan, wearing a Steeler shirt,(He didn`t like the Redskins uniform ????), anyway, proudly wearing my green I struck up a conversation with a decent enough Bears fan who asked if I would be supporting the Bears as 1. he hated the Steelers (new blood ?), and 2. he had cheered for us in the superbowl. I said it was unlikely, but I`d try as he was so polite. I am PROUD to admit, the moment the 1st Bear uniform appeared out of the tunnel, I was on my feet screaming abuse at them. The guy just laughed and said "You REALLY REALLY tried there, didn`t you ?" I was partially ashamed, and bought him a beer later.

Ilive in hope that the Packers will grace us with a visit some day. I`m going to Lambeau again for my 60th birthday.
Doubt it man, you would essentially be taking $$$ away from Green Bay and the organization. Flying our team overseas will make $$$ for the NFL indeed and some for the London folks, but if that was supposed to be a home game for the packers, that would screw a lot of people over. Even if it was an away game it would screw people over.....I know that it's about $1000 bucks to fly to london and back....F*CK THAT. I don't think we will see a team based out of London or any place in Europe, it's just not a proper structure. Who the hell would want to fly 8+ hours one way to play there as the away team? Talk about jet lag......
Glad you are coming to see the pack play here in GB, that should be a great time for ya.
I'm against the Packers ever taking a home game from Lambeau to another country. Best that you travel to Lambeau and see the game in a real football stadium.Ilive in hope that the Packers will grace us with a visit some day. I`m going to Lambeau again for my 60th birthday.
I'm pretty sure the clubs get compensated by the league because of the missed revenue. But the city would still suffer.Doubt it man, you would essentially be taking $$$ away from Green Bay and the organization.

I already have. I said in a previous post.I'm against the Packers ever taking a home game from Lambeau to another country. Best that you travel to Lambeau and see the game in a real football stadium.
The NFL does somewhat compensate a NFL home team for some lost revenue because of moving their
h ome game to London.
Here in Green Bay, the community would have their businesses lose estimated $8M in revenue for lost weekend game in Green B ay. This would be a great loss especially to the hotel and hospitality businesses suc h as Bars, Sports Bars,Restaurants. con venient store/ Gas Stations and retail stores. etc) in the NFL smallest market city -Green Bay .
Charities,Churches and other non profit orgnizations would lose revenue if Packers moved home games to London. These organizations provide the volunteer workers who provide the help at the concessions stands at Lambeau Field for percentage of profits of Lambeau Field concessions stands.
Thus the Green B ay Packers have not offer to let the Packers to go over to London to play a Packer home game over there.
