I know Packers fans are invested in the team - even more so than the rest of the country.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
You have to give it to the Packers. They are a good team. They have a great offense and a great defense.
I'm a lifelong Vikings and Packers fan because I lived in both Minnesota and Wisconsin as a kid.
The NFL is such a large, multibillion dollar enterprise with fan loyalty because they have provided not only entertainment for sports fans, but memories, good memories, family memories to these fans, that can only bring about good will.
Teamwork is what the Green Bay Packers were all about. They didn't do it for individual glory. They did it because they loved one another.
Once you become an owner of a team, you get so much more into the sport and you can't help it. So I really love NFL football now to the degree of following it much more than I did previously.
I think that with the success of the team, more people realize that Blackhawks charities exist.
And historically the owners have used loyalty to a team or a city to hold players as opposed to always paying their worth.
My construction business represents 10 or 20 times what I'll ever invest in football. But from the moment I bought the Chargers, I would become forever known as the owner of that NFL franchise.
I lived in Wisconsin for a while, so I keep my eyes on the Packers. I grew up in San Diego, so there's the Chargers, but outside of that, I'm really kind of lame because I don't have a specific team I pull for.
The Packers have lots of owners nobody knows instead of one owner who doesn't know squat.
