Do the Green Bay Packers Have the Best Fans in the NFL

11 posts in this topic

Many folks claim to be NFL fans. They watch the games, they buy their favorite player’s jersey, and they bask (or drown) in the success (or failure) of their hometown team. By all accounts, yes, it’s fair to call these individuals “fans.” But, just so we’re totally clear, there is a monumental difference between being a fan and being a fan.

Individuals who fall into the former category can make the case for being invested in their respective teams, but how far are they willing to go in order to show their dedicated, undivided loyalty? You might think this makes absolutely no difference, but you’d be wrong. This question is certainly valid, and on certain occasions, one that must be asked. On the flip side, however, there is no need to ask those who fall into the latter category; we already know the answer. How far are diehard fans willing to go? All the way.

All 32 franchises in the National Football League have fans like this. They are the ones who live and breathe their team of choice with the sort of intense devotion that knows no bounds. Yet, the reality is that some organizations around the league have more of these particular fans than others.

WRONG!!!  We have the Best fans in the NFL! Didn't Green Bay fans sellout at Lambeau Field last week? No they didn't We Ravens fans have sold out every game in Baltimore since 1996!

The fans own the Packers, its like a big mutual fund.  And its been Grandfathered since the 50s.

And I quote. 
"You don't get a real say in the team. While a share does confer voting rights, the Packers make very clear that you have almost zero say. Under the heading "Limited Influence," they do the math for you: because there will be at least five million outstanding shares, your vote might as well be worthless. And since no one is allowed to own more than 200 shares, you can't buy clout. Even if you could, most votes concern electing members of the 45-person Board of Directors, who in turn select a seven-person Executive Committee, which is the braintrust that makes the actual franchise decisions."

why?

The above comment would cause me to have all the nightmares.

 

Also, Steve Biscotti would in all likelihood buy most of the shares and become Chairman/CEO of the ravens. People seem to forget that he's one of the richest people in the world.

If we beat this team were in,,or if we win next week or week after were in,Or we need this team beat that team and were in.  You'll see im right in 11 months from now.
