A long, pointed statement from the Packers in response to recent comments by Congressman Scott Fitzgerald of Wisconsin about the team and Sports Broadcasting Act:
"Packers fans everywhere should be deeply concerned that Rep. Fitzgerald admitted to giving 'zero' consideration to keeping the Packers in Green Bay as he explores upending the 65-year-old Sports Broadcasting Act. Fans should be offended that Fitzgerald then went further, saying our concerns were 'laughable.' What is laughable is that a congressman from Wisconsin is leading this charge. Why threaten the team his community overwhelmingly cherishes and its ability to compete on a level playing field?
“The tremendously successful model of pooling media rights and sharing revenue equally amongst teams has allowed the Packers to survive and thrive in the smallest media market in professional sports. This model is as foundational to the Packers’ existence as the very bricks in Lambeau Field. It is careless and unwise to rearrange the bricks of a foundation which has stood strong for over half a century.”
@the_transit_guy It’s horrible how much noise cars/trucks generate. We can make them quieter but of course that infringes on citizens rights to generate said noise.
“We are not here to curse the darkness, but to light the candle that can guide us through that darkness to a safe and sane future." - President John F. Kennedy.
