I hate the Lions!

Meh the Lions are an afterthought until they sustain some success

And the Packers fan always says the same thing to me," Where are your Lombardi's? ".
And I answer, you got one when you were what, 8 years old and you are bragging about that?
And Bears fans are obnoxious enough to hate for 50 more years no matter how bad their team sucks.
And though I don't hate the lions, one of few NFL teams I don't hate, I have a feeling things may change in the near future.
Being a grumpy old man has its benefits!

I would say that whatever rivalry was there 30 years ago is irrelevant. 

Lol,  go to Chicago or Green Bay and tell them that rivalry is irrelevant.   Eastern Wisconsin doesn't give a shit about the Vikings,  all they care about is beating the bears and winning the division,   the Vikings like the lions are just another obstacle.

Packer fans on that Twitter thread disagree. 

Let me know when they start singing songs about their dislike of the Vikings.  Its not lions fans that sing "the bears still suck" from the top of their lungs.

You're not on Twitter, are you? 

Why,  do the cheese heads sing songs about the Vikings on twitter?

How many cheese heads you follow on Twitter?

All I can say is after spending  week in eastern sconni this summer,  they definitely hate the Fibs and the bears more than anything and don't really give a shit about the Vikings unless it happens to be the game that week.  Thier hatred of the bears is a year around affair for those folks.

Must be a East Wisconsin geographical oddity, because the Packers Vikings chatter is pretty constant on Twitter and I honestly don't remember Bears fans contributing to it much at all. I'm sure a lot of Packer fans still hate the Bears, but I can't imagine why. But whatevs...not like this matters more than a hill'a yeller snowballs. 

from what I understand eastern and to some extent northern sconni is the play ground for the money folk from Chicago,  aka the FIBs ( Fucking Illinois Bastards)  I suspect a lot of the hatred goes back generations and likely stems from much more than football results.
