One Quick Question: #Packers #Blackout

I just saw this on twitter:

The Packers have a streak of 319 consecutive sellouts.

Which makes this hard to believe -> http://t.co/kql1wDtJaD

I think I share the same disbelief that warranted the tweet. How can a fan base as “devoted” as the Packers be facing this for a playoff game? It’s the playoffs.

Playoffs.

In all honesty, I’m not that surprised. Think about the type of people that can actually afford to go to a NFL game these days (never mind a playoff one) – They are high-upper middle class/ low upper class people who mostly go to the game to say they were there, typically disregarding whatever happens at the game.

But still. Come on, Green Bay. Vince is shaking his head somewhere.
