Happy Festivus, Green Bay Packers fans!
The Packers are fighting for a spot in the NFL playoffs this holiday season after losing to the Chicago Bears on Saturday in a devastating game that saw Packers QB Jordan Love exit early with a concussion. The Packers have lost 2 straight games in which they had full control. But then injuries piled up, mistakes were made, and wins slipped through their fingers. The emotional rollercoaster of the last few weeks seems like the perfect opportunity to celebrate the best tradition of Festivus: the Airing of Grievances.
For those unfamiliar, Festivus is a holiday from the show Seinfeld that was made up by George Costanza’s father as a rebellion against the holiday tradition and to highlight the disappointments and failures in life over the last year. The Airing of Grievances is a specific Festivus tradition that gives people the chance to vent about how others have disappointed them this year.
So what grievances do I have as a Packers/football fan? Buckle up!
Your turn, Packers fans! Let it out! No matter how logical or illogical…air those grievances!
