I wore a Bears jersey into a bar in Green Bay, Wisconsin. I did not know this was a war crime.
The bartender stopped mid-pour.
The whole bar went silent. Someone actually turned the TV down.
An old man walked over, looked at the jersey, looked at me, and said "...you didn't know, did you."
He bought me a beer anyway. And a Packers shirt. Made me change in the bathroom.
I wore it out. Everyone cheered. I still don't understand football.
