[QUOTE="Quientus, post: 251972, member: 1834"] [URL="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fan_(person)"]Definition of a "Fan"[/URL] Packers are one of the teams I enjoy immensely to watch, - I also "root" for a few other teams (both in the NFC as well as the AFC), and have done that for years ... - To say that some people "are not fans" simply because they don't wish ill on other teams/players or to call the "fair weather" and/or "band-wagon fans" doesn't hold much water in my opinion ... I've spent alot of money on Packers merchandise over the years (and also other teams), and whenever I've had the opportunity to attend a game at Lambeau, I've taken that opportunity as well ... Mostly when people ask me, I say I'm a fan of the NFL (and a few select teams also). - It really doesn't bother me what people call me, because fact is, in the end, I enjoy watching the games immensely (and given my time zone that means I have to stay up very late lol, luckily since I'm a restaurant manager, I don't have to get up "early" ...) And yes I also have a few "favourite" players, both past and present ... But that doesn't mean I necessarily "root" for the team they play on, but I do however, enjoy watching them play every week, and "rejoice" when they are playing good, regardless. Packers will always be "special" to me, because (as I stated in my first post on these boards), Lambeau was were I had my very first NFL experience (and I've been hooked on NFL ever since), and I've followed them (Packers) ever since, but I'm not a "fanatic" Packers fan, but never the less I do consider myself a fan (among others) of the Packers ... - People may disagree or not, still doesn't change that fact imho ... Going back to Monday Night, I found myself in a "win-win" situation ... and thus to me it was a GREAT game too watch, regardless of the outcome, and also reminded me that (the game itself - not the media hype surrounding it - which I kinda "loathe") this is why I love NFL ... People may call me a "fair weather" fan or "Band wagon" fan, - doesn't really matter to me, I still enjoy the games, and reading boards like these, because every post (no matter for or against) shows me people who love the game (and their respective teams) and I can't fault anyone for doing that ... because in the end ... it keeps NFL "alive" and enables us to watch and follow "our" teams and players ... I mean ... how boring would message boards be if all people stuck to the boards of their respective teams ? - Seriously ... I think most will agree with me on this one ... - A large part of what keeps message boards alive are discussions where people disagree ... Granted some people are able to contain their arguements better than others, but hey, that's why the moderators are here ... :happy0005: [/QUOTE]
