Universal Ramblings

The Green Bay Packers are an United States football team which is based

on Green Bay, Wisconsin. They are the members of the North Division of

the NFC (National Football Conference) in the NFL (National Football

League). The Green Bay Packers are the current champions of National

Football League. Green Bay is the second-oldest franchise in the

National Football League.

The Packers are the last shadow of “small town teams” that were once

common in the National Football League during the 1920′s and 1930′s.

The Green Bay Packers was founded on 11th August, 1919 by the former

high-school football rivals Mr. Earl “Curly” Lambeau and Mr. George

Whitney Calhoun.Lambeau supplicated funds for the uniforms from his

employer, the Indian Packing Company. He was given USD 500 for

equipment’s and uniforms, on the condition that the team be named for

its sponsor.

The Packers are the one and only non-profit, community-owned franchise

in United States professional sports major leagues.Usually, a team is

owned by a person, corporate entity or partnership i.e., a “team

owner.” The lack of a dominant owner has been declared as one of the

main reasons the Green Bay Packers have never been able to move from

the city of Green Bay, a city of only 1,02,313 people as of the census

taken in 2000.
