Packer = Conservatives (republicans), Steelers = Liberal (democrats) ??????

Another great read over at Marketplace of Ideas Blog:

"Ah, now that's one aspect of this great rivalry I hadn't considered: the politics. Green Bay (unwittingly?) has become the football representation of the Republican party, whereas a team like the Chicago Bears have become an arm for the Democrats. This isn't the first time that politics and sports have intertwined, so this may not come as a surprise to many. …

With the Windy City's 'First Fan' in the White House, Chicago sport teams will undoubtedly attract the ire of those looking for another way to oppose the President. Jay Cutler, Derrick Rose and Ozzie Guillen all will be synonymous with Obama, Pelosi and Clinton. And eek, what will happen if Rahm Emanuel is elected mayor?"

One point Steve at Market Place missed is The Pittsburgh Steelers' owner, Dan Rooney is an ulta liberal and best buds with our president.

Talk about right vs left.


Another reason, GO PACK!!!!!
