I must admit I am a Green Bay Packer football fan and rejoiced in the fact they won the championship game today and will be going to the Super Bowl. I have friends that could care less about football and friends that care more than I about the Green Bay Packers.

When I was a child the Green Bay Packers team was not very good and I was hardly aware of them. When I was a teen, under Coach Lombardi, they became great and I was aware of them. As an adult they had up and down years. When up I am a fan and when down, not so much. You may call me a “fair weather” fan. I get on the band wagon when they are winning and off when they are not. The same could be true to my past attention to Milwaukee Brewers baseball team and the Milwaukee Buck’s basketball team.

However, I have noticed that as I grow old I enjoy watching sports more and more on TV or at a game. I do not know why but feel it is perhaps because it is an easy and fun distraction from the struggle of living. Being a sports fan is passive and, if one does not get carried away, harmless.

Go Green and Gold!
