I was born and raised a Packers NFL fan. Everyone in my family were die hards. When my father passed, we asked people to wear Packers apparel if they had it. There were some local Vikings fans that bought Packers shirts for the occasion. One guy wore a vikings shirt underneath to stay true. That's what sports rivalries should be all about. It's just a game but it builds relationships through competition. We may cheer for different teams, but at the end of the day, we come together for what's important. If someone boo'd the Packers at my dad's funeral, I would have laughed as I think most of my family and friends would have too.

I was at a friend's father's funeral and someone had to stop the celebrant and let him know he was eulogising the wrong person.
Is it me, or is that heart-warming in a weird way?
heartwarming.
it acknowledges the whole "he is still with us" in a active way.
i hope my funeral is just a bunch of cunts roasting my corpse and having a great time about it.
Im a fan of the local teams rival. Thats where I grew up, and my son is a fan of the rival too. This is birthright right.
Sports are supposed to be how we compete physically without war. Iroquois lacrosse comes to mind.
If someone booed at my funeral, they were a friend that knew I loved the game like they do.
Yeah, I'm not a huge sportsball fan but if someone did that at my funeral, I sure as hell wouldn't haunt them from the grave over it
If your death doesn’t polarize people, did you really live?
I aspire to have my funeral wind up like the church scene in the first Kingsman movie.
Ugh, it was his final wish; here goes! Proceeds to double tap the priest first, because they've been using magic to convert bread and wine into flesh and blood for decades. Don't want to turn my back to them during a fight.
Priest instantly turns into a bottle of Rosé and some ciabatta
It is soon discovered that 90% of the Church hierarchy is artificially-created bread-and-wine homunculi.
Oh snap I'm about to carb up and get a buzz. Thank you good sir.
I'd like to think the Priest's "Bread/Wine convert to Flesh/Blood" also works in reverse offensively. As in a priest can cast this spell on a living person and turn them into a loaf of rye and a bottle of Merlot.
I just wanted a raging party with great food. My dreams have been too small.
Sounds like he had some real football hooligans at his funeral, then. Died as he lived, seems.
Seems kinda obvious.
