Bleeding Purple

Kendall & Dad, Vikings Fans!

Minnesota is known for being Minnesota Nice and our sports fans are just that as well.....nice.  I love Minnesota Vikings Football, Minnesota Twins Baseball and we have some other teams too (and a WNBA Championship).  Minnesota sports fans have never come off as diehards.  We have a lot of fairweather fans.  It doesn't matter if it's football, baseball or hockey (really, we still have a basketball team?). 

When I announced my move to Wisconsin a lot of friends acted as though I was in danger of becoming a Packers Fan.  It would make sense.  The Vikings did horrible this year (again) and the Packers are on their way to the Super Bowl (again).  So there is an idea that I had enough and said, "See ya later Suck Town!  I'm moving to where the Champs are Mwahahahah!!!"  However, that's not the case.  I still hate the Packers and it's difficult to see Packers fans and propaganda everywhere all day.  But, Minnesota fans just aren't as diehard as the Packers fans.  I'll give them credit.  Have you ever seen Green Bay, WI???  People live there just to be close to the team.  Just to live in the experience of Lambeau Field.  Some of these peoples lives revolve around the team.  I'm sure children have been conceived and named after Packers players.  To the state of Wisconsin an Packers fans around the globe, my hat off to you.  But no worries Minnesota brothers and sisters.  I am a Vikings fan.  I'm too dumb to know otherwise.  They're in my blood.  I bleed purple.  SKOL.

That's right Packer Fans....I'm wearing a Favre Vikings jersey!
