Our local sports team is superior to yours!

Go Brewers! Here in Wisconsin we are very much surrounded by sports fans. I've decided that the reason there are so many professional sports teams in Wisconsin is that there are so many professional breweries in Wisconsin. Its great that the state's 3 professional sports teams are named after uniquely indiginous people and animals: The brave men that brew our beer, the hard-working packers that grind our sausage, and the majestic bucks that get blown away by bearded men from Up North with high powered rifles. In order for you to prioritize your cheering, the following is an official state-recognized ranking in the importance of sporting teams and events:

#10 The Bucks
#9 Competitive Eating
#8 Ice Fishing
#7 State Fair Pig Races
#6 International Lumberjacking
#5 The Admirals
#4 The Badgers
#3 The Brewers
#2 The Packers
#1 Brett Favre

You aren't allowed a Wisconsin ID card until you've pledged allegience to at least one local team, and have taken an oath to never support any out-of-state team (especially one preceded by the word "Chicago"). As you can tell in the picture atop this post, Zoe not only goes to the games, she also gets very involved. Nathen is sporting the hat that they handed out for free as you entered the stadium. Sara and I were very impressed to see that Nathen had walked off the airplane a few hours earlier wearing his Brewers shirt.
