It happened again.
About 10 times when I’ve been out and about with Packer gear on, some guy will say—each time almost the exact words—- “Oh no, a Packer fan.” It’s generally said with the same tone one would use to say “Oh no, it’s going to rain.”
Turns out, every time that’s been said , it came from a Vikings fan. Happened to me the other day here walking the dog. I’ve finally realized why this is only said by their fans. Seeing a Packer fan literally triggers a reminder to them that their team sucks now, sucked in the past and will suck in the future.
Anybody else experience this phenomenon?

I live in West Michigan where I mostly get compliments from Lions fan. It's usually along the lines of "it must be nice to root for a team with competent leadership" or "I wish I could feel as good you do about wearing Packer gear when I wear Lions' stuff"
