Ex-Packer Fans Willingly Burn Their Team Gear: Watch

Without losing a bet or being blackmailed by Minnesota Vikings fans, former Green Bay Packers fans are burning Packers jerseys, sweatshirts, blankets, and any other Packers gear the get their hands on. Oh, they're also recording it and showing it to the world via social media.

Why are they doing this? These fans are upset over NFL players protesting during the National Anthem, so much so that they're declaring they're no longer a fan.

WISN reports that an "ex-Green Bay Packers fan" tossed all of his gear, including a Ray Nitchke vintage jersey, a jacket, a Packer flag, and a couple toy footballs into a barrel fire. "You'll never get a cent from me or my family ever again as long as we live," the unidentified man said.

Pattie Curran wasn't all that happy either, as she set her team T-shirt on fire over the team's National Anthem stance.

"[I'm] Burning a Green Bay Packers T-shirt because of the snowflake statement made by their CEO in response to players who sit, kneel or don't come to the field during our national anthem. If any of the Packers players disrespect the American flag during their game today, I'm burning all my Packers gear. Already canceled my NFL Network subscription this morning," she posted on Facebook.
