Agree, not looking good tonight. I'll still root for them.
Me and both of my kids are part owners of the team. Yeah I bought 3 shares of the team for me and both of my kids. They are not worth anything other than bragging rights (no dividends, cant sell them but you can pass them down when you die to family members).
The Packers are the only publicly owned team. If they are ever sold, the proceeds go to Packer charities. Originally the proceeds were to go to a local VFW or something but they changed that and the proceeds would go to the Packer's chosen charities. Bottom line is the Pack will never be sold or moved. The NFL passed a law in the 80's (I think) that no team can be publicly owned except for the Packers. They are grandfathered in and is the only team in the NFL which is owned buy the public and not a single billionaire.
I've had the the team running in my blood for generations. I remember when I was young and if we sat in front of the TV when the Packers (and Brewers) were on, grandpa would yell at us to move aside so he could watch the game.
Packers have had highs and lows over the years during my lifetime but I still root for them.
Wonder how they got their name and the history?

Lombardi Trophy.. cough, cough... named after the great Vince Lombardi, a Packer coach .

Another piece of history, the Packers have 13 NFL championships. Yep, more than any NFL team in history. Brady and Belechick are only halfway there and will not get any more.
