Thread: Evict the Bastards! (Green Bay fans, not the sharpest knives in the drawer)

Beware any Internet posting beginning "I know you guys will laugh and call me a troll," but this is too good not to share:

A Green Bay resident went on a popular landlord website to ask whether he was allowed to evict overenthusiastic Chicago Bears fans.

The landlord's house is within walking distance to Lambeau Field. He rented it out to tenants who lied about being Chicago Bears fans. This does not sit well in Titletown, U.S.A..

After the "troll" caveat, the post reads:I own a home in Green Bay, Wisconsin. My job took me down Lake Michigan a ways towards Milwaukee, but I do plan on living back in Green Bay when I retire in a few years, so I am renting the place out as I do not want to sell it. As you can imagine, people are VERY fanatic about the Green Bay Packers there. My new tenants lied to me on my application and are actually Chicago Bears fans! They have made this known by putting out Bears crap all over the front lawn (flags, lawn gnomes, placemats, etc.).

Ahh, the troll-er becomes the troll-ee.

I'm not as confused by the sentiment of the landlord -- if I owned property I wouldn't rent it to a Cowboys fan. I'm more baffled by the fact that the Bears fans have placemats on the front lawn. What are they doing there?

A general consensus among responders on the message board was that the Bears stink. It was also decided that the landlord could not evict the tenants, but could request the outdoor Bears memorabilia be taken down.
Thanks, Reddit

LOL !
Actually there are quite a few of us up here in the "Northwoods".
Not too surprised though.

LMAO!!! A story like that could only gain a foothold coming out of GB. It's actually believable! That's just too funny.

I'd love to see how the courts would respond to a lawsuit caused by someone not renting to another party based on who their NFL team was. "No your honor, we ain't refusin' to rent to them 'cause they're black". "We're refusin' 'cause they're low life Bears fans".

I need to go looking for my copy of the "Application to become a Green Bay Packer Fan. It's hilarious. Question; "What is your favorite 7 course meal"? Correct Answer; "Aw that's easy. A brat and a six pack". Could he evict them because they drive a navy blue BMW with that almost burnt orange/tan leather upholstery?

I wonder if I can disown the two of my daughters who are Packer fans, .

Years ago I was working for an Electrical/Mechanical engineering firm in downstate Illinois and we were a subcontractor to an Architectural firm in Green Bay. Our team was awarded the contract to design the new skyboxes at Lambeau when they first built them (back in the `80's). I must say that as a young 20 something going up to do my site inspections of the press boxes and such was pretty cool. However, I digress. I'm sure that many of you have had professional friendships over distance and enjoy a good chat and friendly jabs with them occasionally; such was the case here. Midway through the project (this was all done on CADD; new stuff at the time), we submitted our 50% review drawings to the Architect, whom I was unaware would also look them over with their client (the Green Bay Packers). Being the electrical designer on this project, the electrical plans were prepared by yours truly. Have you guys ever noticed how closely the Bears "C" resembles the Packers "G"? Can you imagine how easy they are to manipulate with something as advanced as CADD software? Somehow all of the "G"s in the title blocks of the electrical plans had been creatively changed to the Bears "C".

It's my understanding that our client (the Architect) never noticed this, but that THEIR client did. I also understand that they were not amused, nor was our client. Actually, my boss kinda was, but he didn't want to admit it.

Ah well, dumb story but what the hell.
