I was born and raised a Packers NFL fan. Everyone in my family were die hards. When my father passed, we asked people to wear Packers apparel if they had it. There were some local Vikings fans that bought Packers shirts for the occasion. One guy wore a vikings shirt underneath to stay true. That’s what sports rivalries should be all about. It’s just a game but it builds relationships through competition. We may cheer for different teams, but at the end of the day, we come together for what’s important. If someone boo’d the Packers at my dad’s funeral, I would have laughed as I think most of my family and friends would have too.
I went to open ice out in long island as a kid, and a couple Islanders showed up, and signed my Rangers jersey. Dad jokingly locked the front door and wouldn’t let me in when I got home.

That’s almost as silly as the local football hooligans not wanting to pronounce their rival towns name so they jusy say the last half.
Yeah exactly what I was thinking. It was probably in jest
