When
attending the University of Whitewater, one would expect to run into a few
Packer fans. Being from Illinois, I find these “fans” to be annoying as fuck. I
seem to recall a particular game when all the stupid refs messed up a call and all
the Packer fans formed a mob and rampaged through the sidewalks of Whitewater;
like stop it. This is so obnoxious to me and my friends. This is life, and you
will encounter shitty refs. Get over it. Another thing that pisses me off about
Whitewater packer fans are the dirty looks. Excuse the hell out of me for
supporting my home team (the Chicago Bears). I cannot even walk to class while
wearing Bears apparel without getting death glares from every person I pass by.
I even saw my RA walk by and I swear he snarled at me. Grow up and get over
yourself packer fans. Just because you are the worst team in the NFC this
season doesn’t mean you have to make life a living hell for the rest of us
innocent students.
Another
reason I think they are so annoying is the fact that they all seem to be so
cocky and never have anything to back up what they say. When a Bears fan argues
that our team is way better this season for the simple fact that we have a
better record and the fact that we beat the Colts and the Packers later lost to
them, all the Packers have to say is, “Well the Bears still suck.” Oh please,
this is not a valid argument mostly because the Bears record doesn’t lie.
Cheeseheads are cocky, and all they do is complain!
I agree... Too much green and yellow even on the off season. Just remember, Wisconsin is a really really boring state. There is not much else to do but drink a whole lot, eat cheese/brats, watch the packers, become overweight.
ReplyDeleteYou could probably just go to school in Illinois. That would solve a lot of your problems. If I went to school in Illinois I would expect dirty looks. That's probably why I don't go to school there. But in your defense I've heard school is super expensive in Illinois, yet another reason your state sucks. And the reason we say the Bears suck has more to do with the fact that you suck just about every year. Even when you're good you end up losing.In your lifetime you've seen one superbowl loss. In my lifetime I've seen my team win two superbowls and lose one. That pretty much sums it up right there. Not to mention the 20 something starting quarterbacks you've gone through in the time that we've had two. And you do remember us beating you this year right? So beating the colts literally means nothing. The bears are definitely good right now, but still no comparison to the packers. If it bothers you, leave.
ReplyDeleteYou know what this so goddamn stupid it's not even funny.
ReplyDeleteFor one, I can enjoy watching different teams play the game of football without having to identify with any one in particular, saying stupid shit like, "who are we playing this week?". "We" are not the Packers nor the Bears nor any other fucking team. Just because you happen to the live in the state where some team calls "home" doesn't mean you have to attach yourself to that team.
Secondly, does anyone ever consider the idea that the real reason anyone obsesses over their home team is to fulfill the psychological need for cultural identity? Some people have a greater need than others, which is why some people call themselves die-hard Packer fans, cheeseheads, etc. when other people don't give a fuck at all about their state's football team.
It's all so stupid. To even wear an article of clothing that represents a certain team is beyond me because liking a certain team has nothing to do with who you are anyway, why would you care about showing any devotion to any team at all? Pay a bunch of money for a stupid team sweatshirt, hat, or jersey or whatever, and you're an idiot. Period.
Be yourself and stop providing free advertising to a sports team. You do not receive a dividend check.
ReplyDeleteAll I have to say is..... http://www.google.com/url?sa=t&source=web&cd=1&ved=0CCsQtwIwAA&url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.youtube.com%2Fwatch%3Fv%3DavRHH9uAL4Q&ei=25uFUI6UEqyhyAG2toGQDw&usg=AFQjCNFWXcL-cwokAz4MIec7EF9M7PEJ_Q
ReplyDeleteLove this article. I've lived in Wisconsin my whole life and even when I was a packer fan found them to be extremely cocky. But then again it makes sense since their quarterback is one of the most cocky. Titlebelt? Really, especially before he even came close to winning any titles. I moved to Florida for a while and it was amazing to see how differently they regard football compared to the narrow minded Wisconsonites. I also agree with the comment that Wisconsin is a boring place and people don't have better things to do. Just for example, the Packer fans view Brett Favre and that situation as awful and honestly believe the Packers are perfect. They just had a bunch of bruised egos and seeing how the rest of the country had completely opposite opinions was very refreshing. Also the talk about Lambeau being great? What a JOKE. I've been to the Lions, Bears, Packers, and Saints stadiums for games. In terms of quality, cleanliness, and comfort Lambeau comes in last, by far. In terms of overall game experience the Saints blow everyone out of the water.
ReplyDeleteI apologize if you've had some bad experiences with Packer fans, they should not glare at you for supporting the Bears any more than you should do the same to them for supporting the Packers. Remember though, not all Packer fans are assholes like you claim they are, and not all Bears fans are nice either, every group, whether it be sports teams, genders, races, religions, etc, have their share of assholes, and those assholes don't necessarily represent the majority. I hope that your troubles with Packer fans are reduced, but knowing some of the fans you probably had to deal with, I'm sure it won't stop anytime soon, but at the same time, I've dealt with my fair share of Bears fans who did exactly what you described the Packers as doing.
ReplyDeleteyep, the packers were so bad last year they made playoffs, and the bears won the super bowl on your xbox. I think they just made the playoffs again. at least packer fans don't tase their wives, poison opposing fans, or harass the wrong chris conte on twitter. You, sir, are a giant douche. Maybe YOU should go to school somewhere else.
