Green Bay Packers
The Green Bay Packers have always had in interesting dynamic with its local city and Brown County, which is the county the franchise resides in. According to the 2010 census, Brown County had a population of 248,007 people, and the City of Green Bay had 104,057 people, which makes it the 139th largest city in the United States (Census). The next smallest city with a professional football team is New Orleans, which is the 51st largest city in the country (Census). The reason the Green Bay Packers are so interesting is because they reside in such a small city, that their influence on Brown County’s economy must be large in comparison. Another reason why I wanted to look at the Packers is because they are the only NFL team that

A study in the late 90’s suggests that the packers add 1,620 full-time and part-time jobs to Brown County (Green Bay Economy). Green Bay has been a city with ups and downs, and the Packers aid in fundraising by letting charities take in the earnings of concessions which can bring in $400,000 annually (Clark, 2015). The jobs created by the Packers isn’t a huge number especially compared to other industries and business in the city like Schneider National (3,599) and Humana (2,700), but it does considerably help the economy and they are jobs that wouldn’t be there at all if the Packers weren’t around (Green Bay Economy). Some of the additional jobs that the Packers give out is to shovel parking lots, bleachers, and the field before game days (Clark,2015). These jobs the Packers give seem small, but they are big in reality because they give people extra money that then can be spent on businesses or attractions to the city, which creates a multiplier effect and increases revenue throughout the city. The Fundraising the Packers do helps the city tremendously, but also helps the perception the Packers have which shows that the Packers Franchise is for the City of Green Bay, and not for
It is a popular adage that there are only two certain things in life-death and taxes. But for the last decade or so in the National Football League, there has been another sure thing-as soon as he was eligible in 1993, Walter Payton was destined to be elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame. That is exactly what happened in January, 1993. All that remains was the exclamation point on his spectacular career-enshrinement day on July 31, 1993, when Payton and four other members of the Class of 1993 received pro football's highest honor.
In the Journal of Alcohol & Drug Education is the letter “Tapping into College Football: The Need for Research Examining the Impact of Stadium Alcohol Sales on Drinking Behaviors and Incidents” written to the editor by Adam E. Barry, Texas A&M; Steven M. Howell, Northern Illinois University; and Steven Salaga, Texas A&M University. Barry, Howell, and Salaga give background information on the alcohol sales and alcohol related incidents. They focus on the West Virginia University Case findings heavily. The research provided shows a decrease in alcohol related incidents in 2010 which was the year before allowing alcohol to be sold in the West Virginia stadium (Tapping into College Football). According to Jenni Carlson, a sports columnist for the Oklahoman, “West Virginia decided to start selling beer at concession stands in 2011. That was its final season in the Big East before jumping to the Big 12. The first year that it sold alcohol in the stadium, sales added $700,000 to the athletic department coffers. But there were more benefits, benefits that should interest other schools. In 2011, the campus police at West Virginia reported an across-the-board drop in game-day incidents. Calls. Cases. Arrests. Charges. All of them went down, including a 35 percent drop in arrests,” (Cheers to Selling Beers at Football Games).

The Carolina Panthers had to come out of the locker room after the first half needing to get something going if they were going to come back and beat the Denver Broncos in Super Bowl 50. The first half was dominated by the defense. Whose defense would be able to hold out for the rest of the game would determine who would win the Super Bowl.

Every person ever associated with football knows how the game is played. They know every rule, play, stat, and anything else that can be recorded. There was a certain one of these people, though, that stood out from the rest. This was a man by the name of Vince Lombardi. Most people generally know who Vince Lombardi was. They know him as the former, and most famous, coach of the Green Bay Packers back in the late fifties and early sixties. They also recognize him as the man the trophy awarded to the Super Bowl winner, the Lombardi Trophy, is named after. This is all common knowledge in the football world.

In the last five years, either an NFC West (Seattle twice; San Francisco) or NFC South (Carolina Panthers; Atlanta Falcons) team has represented the conference in the Super Bowl. However, as divisional powers shift, we could see a shakeup in the NFC during the upcoming season. With the NFL Draft completed and training camps beginning, let’s look at the NFC teams that could represent their divisions in the 2017-18 playoffs.
What do you know about the NFL? This one of the best male sports. A boy named Christian was a senior at Riverview Gardens High School; he played football, and he looked up to Calvin Ridley as a role model. His dream had always been to make it to the NFL, so he worked hard everyday day in and day out to strive for his goal. He was just a young man with a dream to get far with his talent for others to see, not just his brothers and teammates. He lived by a famous quote that says, “It’s not the SIZE of the dog in the fight but the SIZE of fight in the dog.” Hall Of Famer Archie Griffin of the Cincinnati Bengals said this because football is a man’s sport. There were lots of legends created in the history of the game.
You wonder if there’s an NFL team registered as a public corporation. Well, we can now confirm that the Green Bay Packers is that team!
However, this fact has changed drastically in recent years. In fact, these mascots are essentially making their team lose money. According to an Emory University sports-marketing study, MLB teams using Native American mascots cost themselves about $2.6 million per year, and NFL teams $1.6 million per year in revenue by continuing to use the condemned mascots. Despite successful seasons in 2010 and 2013 for Kansas City and in 2012 for Washington, the Chiefs and Redskins have suffered two of the NFL’s harshest brand falloffs over the last
The Washington Redskins have had the name since they began playing in the NFL. Its name does not have anything to do with the team, however, the connotation of the word “Redskin", negative and a derogatory term, shows why the Washington Redskins should change their name. Charles Krauthammer explains his reasons of why they should change the name of the team by using the example of the word “retarded” as it is now, not associated with being dumb or insufficient intelligence, rather “developmentally disabled”. He later explains how someone would not simply go up to someone and call them “retarded” due to the connotation it has. Krauthammer also recognises the fact that there are still people to this day who “contain sentimental and historical
The Patriots continue to roll after winning 27-10 on Sunday over the Redskins. Brandon Lafell got back on track, finishing with five catches and 102 yards.
