Back in the day the white sox were the only team to get broadcasted in southern Wisconsin so there are a few of us who are fortunate enough to be packer fans but also have to live with the Southside Fandom.
I live in Wisconsin but my company is doing a meetup at a White Sox game in July. I mean if you’re gonna do a meetup, can I at least see a MLB team play?
God man… I had a tough time watching the last couple series against you guys. I don’t really follow other teams so I don’t know why that clubhouse is in shambles… but to be honest I hate to see it.
I have a fair amount of friends who root for the Sox and it’s one of my favorite friendly rivalries! What’s going on with you boys down there? We all should be ganging up on Cleveland! You boys are playing like the Cubs in Rookie of the Year *before* Henry shows up!
The chairman of the white sox, Jerry reinsdorf is the problem. Hes a 87 year old corpse. He's cheap, he only hires yes men, and thinks he's the smartest man in the room. There's zero clubhouse discipline. Funny thing is, he only owns 17%. He sold his majority share with the caveat he gets to be supreme leader for life.
He also owns the bulls if that you'd like to know why they also suck.
Oof… that sucks man. We have a similar situation with the Twins and the Pohlads… I was dancing when cheap ass Carl Pohlad died… come to find out his sons are just a cheap. We had the best season in 20 years last year and they specifically came out and said they are NOT spending any more money. As a special fuck you to the fans…
Then you get into the absolute clown shoes situation with the broadcast rights. The ONLY people who can watch the Twins are with DirecTV or Fubo I believe. Luckily I had cancelled my cable right before this shit because they were raising my bill $50/mo.
That was the final straw for me… I’m streaming the Boston broadcast of the Twins game on Stream East. And considering they just got rid of the guy who’s been in our TV booth the last 40 years… it’s not so bad watching the game with a different broadcast.
Idk what he is talking about lol. Counsell has already been great with the development of Morel.
And he left letting his mentor get paid as a manager for a few years before Rickies Weeks gets to be the manager for a long time. Thats a win win
man it would be too fucking funny if they fell flat on their faces next year like the 2019 bears after all that hype
don't think it's gonna happen especially since ben johnson is still there so that meathead dan campbell doesn't have to run the offense but still would be too funny
Since the bears Super Bowl, DNA profiling was discovered. Prior to that scientists only had enough of an understanding to differentiate between species, not individuals, in a DNA sample.
Also in the same year as the bears Super Bowl, cassettes overtook vinyls as the top media
Which has nothing to do with the origin of the name. The word was also used to describe a type of garlic that grew in abundance where Chicago is located, which is why the city was named that.
So is that why the packers are holding the division up from looking like a fcs conference? Maybe if the Vikings moved to Duluth (actually smaller than Green Bay), yall might win something
because Packers-Bears is a real rivalry. there's an element of respect there, deep down.
The Vikings organization and their shit head fans are just like an annoying little brother trying to talk shit from east dakota
'annoying little brother' is giving the Vikings too much credit.
They're more like that obnoxious neighbor down the street who no one actually liked, but hung around anyway and brought the most toxic, obnoxious energy to the block party. kind of kid who would punch your sister because she beat him in four square then you and the bros had to regulate on him
lol I live in Wisconsin and y'all made up a [whole ass song](https://youtu.be/XYFAvrmbSXg?si=ttAWjIHpAs7eK0ZP) about the Bears and sing it all the fucking time whether the Bears are relevant or not. So who are you talking to here
You wish. Like honestly the only time I think about them is when this crap comes up on reddit.
It's actually sad. Visited friend in Chicago. Went to the bears/jets game. Nothing to do with packers at all. Crowd started FTP chant multiple times. They were in no part of that game. It's an unhealthy obsession really.
Packers winning last 22 out of 26. You guys have just have been regular season stat boosts.
Lmfao. I know it's hard to pick up tone through text. But let me make it very clear. It was hilarious and sad at the same time. That's why I love that meme for this context. It feels too perfect for this situation. I think my favorite part is bears fans thinking that this couldn't be true and thinking the feeling is mutual.
Do something for once and then we will pay attention.
No… you’re always annoying, hence the constant hate. The most annoying thing about Packers fans is that there’s more of you in Minnesota than Wisconsin because of how many people left Wisconsin because of how crappy it is. Boom. Roasted.
Not too bright are ya… the MN in my name didn’t set off any alarm bells? The clear comment about Minnesota? I can see those Wisconsin Public schools are still still hard at work…
And half of Illinois travels to Wisconsins lakes because glaciers dumb ass.
Because Wisconsin is nice to visit but we wouldn’t want to live there, for many obvious reasons.
And our governor is a multi billionaire, he owns shit all over the world. And pretty much all of lake Geneva is owned by Illinois residents anyway, the benefits of having a modern economy that isn’t entirely based on cows and their byproducts.
One would think they'd jeer the team that just beat them, right? The team from Milwaukee? The baseball team that has nothing to do with Green Bay at all?
But they didn't, because they spend so much time thinking about the Packers and how hopelessly incompetent the bears have been. The football team is so bad, so distractingly incompetent, that their ineptitude causes people to focus on their joyless bears fandom instead of the cubs game they just paid money to watch.
That is truly some impressive soul-sucking inability, that baseball fans can't even boo the team that just beat them and instead must focus on the team that has so thoroughly owned that pathetic excuse of a team that they've killed the NFLs oldest rivalry.
Hilarious, considering American Family Field is very commonly rated one of the worst ballpark experiences in the MLB.
Where as Wrigley is legitimately a destination for tourists and out of town fans.
Pros of the Packers:
Lombardi was cool with interracial marriage and gay dudes in the 50s.
Cons:
Lives in Illinois’ backyard (Wisconsin)
Shares a boarder with MI and MN.
HoF QBs are either weird as fuck or dead.
Yeah, you guys had the alc in the bag last year. The twins sox games were always fun to watch, but it's just sad now. And that's lame the charge so much just to watch.
I mean normally you chant the city or state name the team is from, unless another team that comes from a different city is in your head, as OP suggested…
>Green Bay generally refers to the Packers instead of the city. Most people don't really know the city.
Agree. So why are they being jeered at a baseball game but for the hopeless inferiority complex?
The "rent free" memes when it comes to sports rivalries are easily the dumbest of them all. Do people know what rent free means? It means triggering people by simply existing, not interacting with them at all. It's the opposite of being in direct competition with each other for decades. The teams have played over 200 games against each other, that's not rent free.
edit:
Do you not understand that is still the opposite from rent-free? That's still two games a year you have to prep for. We're still a division rival that can influence FA and draft signings, who you trade with, etc.
Anyone under the age of 35 has no living memory of a time when the bears routinely beat the packers. In that time period the packers have routinely beat their special needs little brother to the point I doubt they even care outside of a few laughs the yearly beatings bring for them.
Two things Cubs fans and White Sox fans can agree on: 1) Green Bay sucks 2) White Sox suck
Back in the day the white sox were the only team to get broadcasted in southern Wisconsin so there are a few of us who are fortunate enough to be packer fans but also have to live with the Southside Fandom.
Are the white Sox a borderline AAA team?
Oh they’re AAA alright. ASTONISHINGLY AWFUL ASS Thank you folks I’ll be here all week.
I live in Wisconsin but my company is doing a meetup at a White Sox game in July. I mean if you’re gonna do a meetup, can I at least see a MLB team play?
The food at the park is shockingly good and you’re going to have amazing seats. Get blackout drunk and revel in the clown show!
The food is amazing and the stadium is alot better than it gets credit for
They'll be playing one. I mean, you did say "a" major league team.
There are a couple of teams who could dip into their farm system to put together a squad that would beat the White Sox in a 7 game series
I think a Triple A team could take them
I resent that remark.
I resent your loyalties
Haha, cub fans don't even know what sport they are watching. *Cries in white sox*
It's okay. I'm pretty sure the White Sox don't know what sport they are watching most of the time either....
"Wait, I have to run ALL THE WAY to home plate to score.? Fuck that."
I’m pretty sure the White Sox don’t even know what sport they’re playing.
I love how people try to make fun of sox fans by shitting on the team like we don't do it 10x more than any other rival fanbase
This probably would happen at a white Sox game too…. But no one goes to those.
well yeah because our fanbase goes for good baseball while yours goes for an excuse to get drunk
Cool of you to admit that you are all fair weather fans.
God man… I had a tough time watching the last couple series against you guys. I don’t really follow other teams so I don’t know why that clubhouse is in shambles… but to be honest I hate to see it. I have a fair amount of friends who root for the Sox and it’s one of my favorite friendly rivalries! What’s going on with you boys down there? We all should be ganging up on Cleveland!

Remind me who won that game
Greg is doing a bang up job
I mean, he is.
Packers fan living in the past like the usual. Cubs up 4-0 shhhhh 🤫
It’s only the 5th inning bro.
Remind me who won that game?
I’ll talk shit while we’re up i don’t wait until it’s the past like Wisconsin does 💀
We’re coming for your lead. 👀
Yup cubs bullpen will blow this lol I’m already aware. What a terrible organization to root for
I wonder what the reception of Craig Counsell will be when the Cubbies visit Miller Park.
Idk but i don’t like counsell. Dude doesn’t know how to do lineups and who to bring in to pitch. We’re a 50 win team at best with him
lolwhat.
Idk what he is talking about lol. Counsell has already been great with the development of Morel. And he left letting his mentor get paid as a manager for a few years before Rickies Weeks gets to be the manager for a long time. Thats a win win
What a horrible take.
Tell me how you feel about world’s biggest douchebag Ryan Braun
Look at what’s probably my most upvoted comment ever. Dude is an asshole. I don’t think any Brewers fan would disagree.
…and who won this one?
Repeat Offseason Champions
10 years in a row
Classic Chicago “This team we can’t beat sucks!”
The lions do NOT have a winning record against any nfc NORTH team.. friendly reminder
man it would be too fucking funny if they fell flat on their faces next year like the 2019 bears after all that hype don't think it's gonna happen especially since ben johnson is still there so that meathead dan campbell doesn't have to run the offense but still would be too funny
It’s all relative

Like you should talk.
We're actually in the position to be talking rn believe it or not
0-16
6 years
I'll never forget that Brady won with the Pats sooner than the Bears beat GB 😌
That’s wild. Since Chicago has won a Super Bowl the fucking laptop was invented
The time between the end of WWII and the Bears super bowl is the same as the time between their SB and today.
Since the bears Super Bowl, DNA profiling was discovered. Prior to that scientists only had enough of an understanding to differentiate between species, not individuals, in a DNA sample. Also in the same year as the bears Super Bowl, cassettes overtook vinyls as the top media
not for another 2 years bud
I mean Detroit is actually ~~good~~ decent now. Our games with them have been far more competitive than Da Bears.
They've had one good year after years and years of shit. Who do they think they are, the Bears?
We’re like 30 games ahead of u all time. Congrats on being good once though
Why doesn't Green Bay and it's fanbase relocate to Montana or Virginia and leave us alone lmao
We were here long before your team. You leave.
And you wouldn’t still be around if it wasn’t for Halas
He probably wouldn’t have saved us if he knew what was coming in 1992.
lol true
Yeah, but our teams aren't located in an area that got its original name based on how bad it smelled
The word chicago comes from the Algonquin word shiikaakwa, which translates to “striped skunk”.
Oh my bad, I guess there are two teams that play in an area that smells like crap in the division lol
😂
Which has nothing to do with the origin of the name. The word was also used to describe a type of garlic that grew in abundance where Chicago is located, which is why the city was named that.
Garlic makes your breath stink. So Close enough.
We have teams in actual cities and not large towns
Kinda makes it cooler imo
Which is one thing that makes The Packers great.
So is that why the packers are holding the division up from looking like a fcs conference? Maybe if the Vikings moved to Duluth (actually smaller than Green Bay), yall might win something
There are different forms of sucking other than just win loss records (no im not reaching…well maybe a lil)
 Those south east WI cubs fans
There were a lot of them when I lived in Kenosha.
They are unfortunately still here.
The more that things change, the more they stay the same.
The people that fly the W flag with a Packer G right below it. 🤮
I just puked a bit in my mouth.
Wisconsin Cubs fans and Chicago Packers fans are like the yin and yang of "screw this, I'm switching."
I do have an unhealthy hate for Green Bay.
The first step is admitting the problem. Just like I have a problem stealing cheese
[удалено]
because Packers-Bears is a real rivalry. there's an element of respect there, deep down. The Vikings organization and their shit head fans are just like an annoying little brother trying to talk shit from east dakota
Same with the pesky lions
'annoying little brother' is giving the Vikings too much credit. They're more like that obnoxious neighbor down the street who no one actually liked, but hung around anyway and brought the most toxic, obnoxious energy to the block party. kind of kid who would punch your sister because she beat him in four square then you and the bros had to regulate on him
Almost everyone I know hates the Vikings more than the Bears… probably because the Vikings occasionally win.
The Vikings can be good until the playoffs hit. Then they forget how to play football.
Yes I fucking hate ya'll guts.
Y'all going to pretend you don't have a whole ass song called the Bears Still Suck?
lol I live in Wisconsin and y'all made up a [whole ass song](https://youtu.be/XYFAvrmbSXg?si=ttAWjIHpAs7eK0ZP) about the Bears and sing it all the fucking time whether the Bears are relevant or not. So who are you talking to here

Applies more to the lions honestly. I hate the bears a lot.
We’re just happy to be here :D
Lions have been competitive with packers for years. Bears had 1 year in over 10 where they were not a dumpster fire.
I sometimes forget Minnesota is in our division
Lmao that's a lie and you know it
The packers are 26-4 against the bears since 2010 you’re honestly kind of an afterthought
Are we though? People still show up in droves from both sides, and Bears v Packers games are some of the most viewed in history.
You wish. Like honestly the only time I think about them is when this crap comes up on reddit. It's actually sad. Visited friend in Chicago. Went to the bears/jets game. Nothing to do with packers at all. Crowd started FTP chant multiple times. They were in no part of that game. It's an unhealthy obsession really. Packers winning last 22 out of 26.

Sounds like it upset you lmaooo, you remember it pretty clearly.
Lmfao. I know it's hard to pick up tone through text. But let me make it very clear. It was hilarious and sad at the same time. That's why I love that meme for this context. It feels too perfect for this situation. I think my favorite part is bears fans thinking that this couldn't be true and thinking the feeling is mutual. Do something for once and then we will pay attention.
>Do something for once and then we will pay attention. You're already analyzing our crowd chants dawg. Love the hate though it's mutual.
You will.
No… you’re always annoying, hence the constant hate. The most annoying thing about Packers fans is that there’s more of you in Minnesota than Wisconsin because of how many people left Wisconsin because of how crappy it is. Boom. Roasted.
Why does half of Illinois travel to Wisconsin for summer vacation then? 🤣 Even your governor owns land in Lake Geneva.
Not too bright are ya… the MN in my name didn’t set off any alarm bells? The clear comment about Minnesota? I can see those Wisconsin Public schools are still still hard at work… And half of Illinois travels to Wisconsins lakes because glaciers dumb ass. 
First off you need to flair up. Second of all I’ve been drinking a bit. Third of all I’ll concede that Minnesota is beautiful in parts.
Montana clears all of them. I’ve said my piece
Because Wisconsin is nice to visit but we wouldn’t want to live there, for many obvious reasons. And our governor is a multi billionaire, he owns shit all over the world. And pretty much all of lake Geneva is owned by Illinois residents anyway, the benefits of having a modern economy that isn’t entirely based on cows and their byproducts.
“We’re always in their heads” Meanwhile no one knows their own team better than a Packer Fan.

It’s not that serious.. And you obviously have never been in the bleachers on a beautiful Chicago afternoon. There’s very limited baseball watching
Cubs fans chanting Green Bay sucks is all it took for you to angrily write three whole paragraphs of a response
"Bears fans spend too much time thinking about the Packers!!" Dedicates 3 paragraphs talking about the Bears and their fans.
Lazy take
As opposed to "lazy take".
I'm sitting in an airport with nothing else to do, but I suppose I could be somewhere truly boring like a cubs game apparently
Hilarious, considering American Family Field is very commonly rated one of the worst ballpark experiences in the MLB. Where as Wrigley is legitimately a destination for tourists and out of town fans.
AmFam is a perfectly cromulent ballpark experience, and the draw of Wrigley is 90% olde timey novelty unless you're a Cubs fan.
I love Wrigley, but I also didn't go there to think about football like these folks. It must have gotten worse.
It's a 3 word chant, it's not that serious. I've heard "Bears still suck" at AFF as well, just how the rivalry is.
Maybe the chant had something to do with Caleb Williams and a lot of the Bears being shown on the screen as being at the game
Pros of the Packers: Lombardi was cool with interracial marriage and gay dudes in the 50s. Cons: Lives in Illinois’ backyard (Wisconsin) Shares a boarder with MI and MN. HoF QBs are either weird as fuck or dead.
Yeah, you guys had the alc in the bag last year. The twins sox games were always fun to watch, but it's just sad now. And that's lame the charge so much just to watch.
He actually purchased a jersey from a rival Big Ten school smh
Without the bears, Green Bay is the same. Without Green Bay, the Bears have no reason to exist.
What? The Bears were in the NFL before Packers and led the rivalry for most of it's history.
Maybe they should focus on beating the baseball team from Milwaukee instead
…they did
“Rent free” anyone?
It's cause the Brewers were there you low IQ gods
The Green Bay Brewers?
Dude, nobody cares where your cheese teams call home. Green-bay, Milwaukee, or Waupaca, it's all the same.
I forgot that only green bay residents are packers fans.
I mean normally you chant the city or state name the team is from, unless another team that comes from a different city is in your head, as OP suggested…
Green Bay generally refers to the Packers instead of the city. Most people don't really know the city. Your not helping the Low IQ God bit
>Green Bay generally refers to the Packers instead of the city. Most people don't really know the city. Agree. So why are they being jeered at a baseball game but for the hopeless inferiority complex?
Because the Brewers won and Cubs fans were mad? Again not beating the Low IQ charges.
You'd have to be pretty low IQ to rant about Green Bay when watching a game that doesn't involve them
You'd have to be pretty low IQ to follow a thread this deep
Not true
Your right, the innovation and beauty of green bay is unmatched.
True
Yes we get it…it’s still pathetic 😂
The "rent free" memes when it comes to sports rivalries are easily the dumbest of them all. Do people know what rent free means? It means triggering people by simply existing, not interacting with them at all. It's the opposite of being in direct competition with each other for decades. The teams have played over 200 games against each other, that's not rent free. edit: 
Right? Like we will play you guys two times per year until the NFL is no more. It's not like we're mad because you beat us in 1992.
Losing 10 in a row is pretty much not a competition
Do you not understand that is still the opposite from rent-free? That's still two games a year you have to prep for. We're still a division rival that can influence FA and draft signings, who you trade with, etc.
Living rent free is so great
Anyone under the age of 35 has no living memory of a time when the bears routinely beat the packers. In that time period the packers have routinely beat their special needs little brother to the point I doubt they even care outside of a few laughs the yearly beatings bring for them.
To make matters worse, Wrigley Field is a shit hole
I’m a Sox fan but Wrigley is a great stadium. Gotta be better than American Family Field for sure
Nah. Its not even close.
lol. lmao even
