I'm On Strike!

I am not a fan of professional football (college is where it's at) but every year, with the rest of America, I watch the Super Bowl.

I am from Minnesota, which means I HATE (I repeat HATE) ALL Wisconsin sports teams. Because I bleed Maroon and Gold most of my hatred is directed towards the Wisconsin Badgers, but the Green Bay Packers are a close second.

Let me start by saying I have a lot of friends who are from Wisconsin and who are Packer fans (so if any of you are reading this I am only partially talking about you.)

Packer fans annoy the crap out of me. If Wisconsin is sooooo great WHY DO YOU ALL MOVE TO MINNESOTA?! I am all for supporting your team and cheering no matter what (heck, I'm a Gopher fan....we never win anything) BUT being rude, annoying and ignorant is a whole different ball game (like that pun?)

To make a lifelong story of irritation short....I am boycotting facebook. So many of my facebook "friends" are Packer fans and so many of them have been so painfully annoying over the past two weeks that I could not bear to witness how annoying they are now going to be since the Packers won the Super Bowl.

So, I am doing something I never thought I could do. I am NOT logging in to facebook for a full week (starting Sunday night immediately following the finish of the game). I just can't handle reading the Aaron Rogers worshiping statuses or seeing the Green and Yellow helmets as profile pictures. I am hoping that one week will allow the cheeseheads to calm their butts and go back to posting about normal things.....like how much beer they can drink or how awesome Madison is even though they all live in Minneapolis.

Not that any of you, or anyone for the matter, will be effected by my absence from facebook...I just figured I'd share because 1. I am just that annoyed and 2. It's going to be hard!
