This is the story as I heard it, third hand anyway.
Readers may know, or not know, that our son, Peter, is a died in the wool Green Bay Packers fan; has been since he was little and Anne got him a Packers helmet at a garage sale. Teddy got a Steelers helmet and has been a fan ever since. I don't know which one is a more ardent fan for their team. I do know that when their teams lose, there is a lot of depression. As you can imagine there has been a lot of depression over the years.
That's the background. Peter took Anthony and Alex to Green Bay this past weekend to watch the Packers play the Dolphins. Alex, much to Peter's consternation, has become a Dolphins fan. Roxanne sent him with a Dolphin shirt and jacket, but Peter dressed him with his shirt covered with a Green Bay jacket. After all they were at the holiest ground in sports, Lambeau Field. As the game progressed, the Dolphins were down and Alex became concerned that they would lose. Maybe he didn't see any other Dolphin fans and thought that his team needed some support. So, he took off his Packers jacket revealing his Dolphin shirt and his true self. Surrounding fans made comments like, "So, you're coming out of the closet." and "Now we know your true colors." None of which was too bad except the show of support worked and the Dolphins won. One out of three was happy after the game and Peter assured Roxanne that he would bring Alex home with them. I guess he had better start feeding him some Wisconsin cheese.
