Lucy used to be the #Packerbackers mascot.
Then, just 2-3 ppl decided they dont want her at the games, "misrepresented" statements about the sports bar mgmt not wanting her there,and the rest of club unaware or silent,
...and boom. Lucy is Fired as Mascot.
The Greenville club is ad hoc, without a formal board to govern the club. The club only exists because just a very few (5-10ppl) dedicated people DIY ALL the club activities for the benefit of everyone else. There's nearly 800 members on the roster, and around 80-120 members attend on an average game day.
In nearly all other instances, this core group does a stellar job. Actually remarkable things happen at these #Packerbacker club parties.
And yet, Lucy was banned as a member and mascot.
This all started with Lucy in the Fall of 2021.
I brought her once back in Covid. Her brother Wesley had just died of cancer a few months before, I didn't have a place to keep her for that long. My friends invited me to come along, & thought it would be fun to have Lucy since the parties are on a large covered patio outside a large amusement center and sports bar.
Lucy was instantly popular. Folks kept asking for her, bringing her snacks, offering up tasty morsels of cheese curds and brats, decorating her with Packer regalia, a gold #Packers chain necklace, producing a "Lucy member #00" member card to clip to her #Packers jersey. The younger kids would even take her for walks around the patio area while I watched the game.
It's not like I had to bring Lucy.
Honestly, it's a lot of trouble to bring a dog to a social event, hanging on to a leash, constantly responding to folks about which tasty treats she can have, etc. Once in a while, is ok, but every game?
But they were putting her in all the group photos, she's got the club membership card with her name on it, and she's now got the jersey.
It all had taken a life of it's own. I didn't mind helping the fun along by bringing her to the club events.
Most importantly, Lucy loved it. To this day, when we are anywhere near that sports bar, she starts getting all fired up, marching in place on the backseat, vocalizing, and panting.
One day, it all came crashing down.
I was seated, involved in a conversation with another packerbacker, minding my own business. This guy looms over me, leans in to interrupt, and says in a nasty tone something to the effect of 'She's not supposed to be here, and the bar management says so.'
The person in question was one of those hard working people who do all the set up for the club, so I had to take his demand to heart.
But to our defense, first of all, the management never asked me to stop bringing her. In fact, the bar managers specifically said it was fine for her to be there on the patio area. I asked the managers afterwards, and they said they never told anyone Lucy couldn't be there. So that person was lying.
Second, if they had such a big problem that they needed to cook up a shady lie to deliver their message, wouldn't it have been infinitely more effective to politely deal with it, instead of looming over someone and making demands with a belligerent, sneering tone, and then lie about the entire situation as their sole basis of attack?
Just saying.
Had I been dealt with in a different manner, this post would bever have been written.
Lucy would have been removed from the rotation, and that would have been an end to it.
In the US, people get away with that sort of drama since if you do stand up to beat someone down, which is what this behavior may have deserved, you'll go to jail, get sued for everything you're worth, and maybe lose whatever job you had. Besides, who wants to beat up a tipsy and grouchy boomer? Any way you look at it, it's pretty stupid to get into a fight.
Let us Never mind the fact that high functioning adults have no business acting that way to begin with.
. . . an a good time was had by all

Not only did the Packers Aaron Rodgers reach 400 TD passes the quickest in NFL history (193 games), but doing it with 55 less INTβs than any other QB is amazing ! Enjoy him while we can #packerbackers #π§
