Unfortunately, it&#8217;s more than likely that Aaron Rodgers and the Packers are going to kill us, but we&#8217;re going to hold our heads high, Chicagoans. Things could be\u00a0<em>much, much\u00a0<\/em>worse. For example, you could be a Green Bay fan yourself. Hell, you could even be from the &#8220;city&#8221; of Green Bay itself. We all know this would be terrible, but we&#8217;ve decided to break down just how awful Green Bay is as both a city and football team.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fcb9811e610e8c053e2fdc6ab7141589.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter wp-image-2644\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fcb9811e610e8c053e2fdc6ab7141589.jpg\" alt=\"Green Bay\" width=\"406\" height=\"609\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fcb9811e610e8c053e2fdc6ab7141589.jpg 236w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/fcb9811e610e8c053e2fdc6ab7141589-200x300.jpg 200w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 406px) 100vw, 406px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>1. They have the least intimidating name in the NFL and no mascot. <\/strong>Think about all of the team names in the NFL that inspire fear into opponents. The Panthers, The Bears, The Vikings, The Rams. These are all things that I would not ever want to fight. Then, of course, you have the Green Bay Packers\u2026now, what is a Packer exactly? Well, the name is referring the Indian Meat Packing company where Curly Lambeau worked. So, while other teams have chosen to be named after ferocious animals that could easily maul and kill you, the fine Wisconsonites have gone with Packers\u2026a guy who\u2019s going to can your meats. Right.<\/p>\n<p><strong>2. Cheeseheads?<\/strong> Okay\u2026we get it. Wisconsin has good cheese. What does that have to do with your football team? Actually, what does cheese, in general, have to do with football? We make great pizza in Chicago, but we don\u2019t put on it on our heads. Why? Because it doesn\u2019t make any damn sense.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter size-full wp-image-2642\" src=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281.jpg\" alt=\"Green Bay\" width=\"643\" height=\"521\" srcset=\"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281.jpg 643w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281-600x486.jpg 600w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281-300x243.jpg 300w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281-441x357.jpg 441w, https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/09\/d672035655e55f40f3b9e9640bbd7281-596x483.jpg 596w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 643px) 100vw, 643px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><strong>3. The Lambeau leap is stupid.<\/strong> Who came up with this as a celebration? It\u2019s more obnoxious than any celebration dance there is. The leap legitimately forces your fans to pat you on the back doing exactly what\u2019s in your job description. They buy tickets expecting you to score. Here\u2019s an idea: after you score, act like you\u2019ve been there, and get to the sideline. Do I ask my editor for a high-five every time I finish an article? No.<\/p>\n<p><strong>4. The Packers have been on a hot streak for thirty years, and The Chicago Bears STILL hold the all-time record. <\/strong>At Genie, we\u2019re nothing if not honest. The Packers have definitely had our number for a good portion of the last 30 years, but let\u2019s think about this. How terrible do you historically play if we\u2019re still the ones holding the record?<\/p>\n<p><strong>5. They brought us one of the most annoying football players of all time.<\/strong> That\u2019s right, we\u2019re talking about Brett Favre. Now, we aren\u2019t denying this guy is talented. He\u2019s definitely one of the greatest QB\u2019s of all time, and if there were an award for the most obnoxious, he\u2019d win that too. How many times did this guy cry during a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=kACbVGsWN74\">retirement speech<\/a>?

The city of Green Bay has almost no diversity.<\/strong> In the entire city of Green Bay, they have a mere 15% of the population that identifies as a minority race. Everyone else is white. Now, we\u2019re not saying there\u2019s anything wrong with white people; we\u2019re just saying that unlike Chicago, Green Bay is culturally void due to its lack of diversity.<\/p>\n<p><strong>7. As a city, Green Bay has nothing to offer except Lambeau Field.<\/strong> Seriously. There\u2019s like nothing there. Museums? Nope. Great architecture? Nope. They have a shopping mall, though. Just like every suburb in the Chicagoland area!<\/p>\n<p><strong>8. Speaking of Lambeau\u2026still with the bleachers? <\/strong>It\u2019s 2015. Give your fans back support.

During her breaks from school, Sarah spent her time racking up years of customer service and office experience. Unlike the stereotypical writer, she loves being social and interacting with people of all backgrounds and cultures. While Sarah finds her inspiration from people, her one true love is actually her dog, Dick Butkus, or Butkus for short. And yes, she is a Chicago Bears enthusiast. During her downtime, Sarah enjoys eating a lot, not working out, mob movies, and partaking in sassy banter with her friends and family.","url":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/author\/sarah-langer\/"}]}},"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2639","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/5"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=2639"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/2639\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/2647"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=2639"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=2639"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/urbanmatter.com\/chicago\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=2639"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
