This morning at church when we did the thing where you greet the people around you, the people behind us said “Go Packers”. It felt kind of weird. No one was wearing any logo clothing or anything. The people didn’t know me or that I previously lived in Wisconsin.
Fast forward to toward the end of the service, they were amongst the group of people who (I guess) try to beat “traffic” and leave before communion and the final song.
So clearly this football game is important to them because they spontaneously said “Go Packers” in church yet they choose not to stay through the entire service.
If Packers fans are looking for a scapegoat on what led to this performance, they were sitting behind me this morning.
