Radio Show Host Doesn’t Understand Packers’ Fans Culture
We all see bad takes on Twitter. It is part of the social media platform. This morning, I might have seen one of the worst one in the last few weeks. Jason Smith, a national radio host, who lives in Los Angeles mind you, criticized the Green Bay Packers for charging 12 dollars an hour to shovel the snow out of the stands. He also did not like the Packers making them get up at 6:00 am. In a surprise to no one, he got ratio’d to hell because this is the stupidest fucking thing ever.
Seriously, Packers want people to show up at 6am Sunday for $12 an hour to shovel multiple feet of snow at Lambeau? Suck it up and pay these people like $50 an hour. You can afford it. Stop pushing this like it's a 'badge of honor' to shovel snow for the Packers for nothing.

There are a couple of things wrong here. First of all, multiple feet of snow? Is this guy dense or does he fail to read weather forecasts? Green Bay may get a foot of snow, but it will not be any more than that. The funny thing is that it is a badge of honor! People love doing it. Some families in the Fox Valley do it as a tradition when things get snowy in Green Bay. Packers organization had to start paying in cash because people wouldn’t cash their checks for shoveling snow. It is not about the money, but it is not surprising to see a Los Angeles resident be out of touch with reality.
For those shoveling tomorrow, best of luck and enjoy it.
