So. Are meat-packing plant workers insulted or demeaned by Green Bay calling themselves the "Packers"????? Or has the team suffered because of their name based on one of the most unglamorous jobs in the country?
I think not.
GREEN BAY PACKERS -
The name was a natural since the team was sponsored first by the Indian Packing Company and later the Acme Packing Company. Although both companies went out of business, the team prospered under the name Packers.
