Packers fan complains about bras on Jumbotron

A Green Bay Packers fan wrote a letter to editor at the city’s Press Gazette newspaper this week to complain about the semi-salacious sight he witnessed while taking in a preseason game at Lambeau Field a few weeks ago.

The fan specifically was offended when a woman was shown on the stadium’s videoboard lifting up her shirt, while another was wearing nothing up top save for a — gasp — sports bra.

The letter in its entirety, penned (or typewritten) by a male Packers fan residing in Hobart, Wisconsin:

After attending the Green Bay Packers preseason game on Aug. 28 I was appalled that the camera operators showed fans in the stadium such as a woman lifting up her shirt and another in a sports bra.

This is from a Packers organization that will not allow opponents cheerleaders to perform because of their revealing uniforms. This is rather two-faced and should be better controlled.

Do we really want to teach our many young children in attendance that this is acceptable behavior?

The fan does make several salient points about the perceivable double-standard employed by the team as it relates to sports bra-flashing fans and cheerleaders, but like most NFL stadiums, the kind of behavior that can be witnessed in the stands at Lambeau Field during a Packers game are often not child-friendly or G-rated.

In the end, while the fellow makes a point, much like the St. Louis Cardinals fan offended by “pornographic” Hardee’s ads aired during the team’s ball games on television, it’s unlikely that he will see the end of the debauchery anytime soon.
