I would agree with what you said before I moved to Wisconsin. The Packers are different. They are not owned by some rich play boy. They are owned by the people of Wisconsin, and stadium improvements are financed by occasional “stock sales”. The stock is worthless and cannot be transferred, or re-sold, but people line up to buy it at $250 a copy so they can call themselves “owners”.

“They are owned by the people of Wisconsin,”

What I want to know is this:

TAXPAYERS,

or genuine fans only?

Because even if it’s local, if I couldn’t care less about football I wouldn’t want to be funding this with $1, either!
