What Are Wisconsinites Doing with All Those Favre Jerseys? Donating Them.
I’m a Wisconsinite who’s lived in Chicago for four years, and in that time I’ve noticed an unusual amount of Packers clothing on the backs of the city’s homeless. I’ve never thought too much about it. Now, based on Favre’s exit from Packerland, I understand, and I’ll be looking for the same phenomenon next time I go to Madison.
A Wisconsin radio station is asking angry Packers fans to reconsider dumping their Brett Favre gear. Two talk show hosts at WTDY in Madison are collecting old Favre sportswear and donating it to the homeless.
Kudos to the hosts, though, for thinking about it for a few seconds beyond the knee-jerk fantasyland of the sport-world simulacra.
