Bucks are a professional team in Milwaukee. Support them.





"The Bucks? I like college basketball but not the NBA." --> Most so-called Wisconsin sports fans would reply to me after initiating a conversation.

Really people?!!!!
The state of Wisconsin has 3 main professional sports teams, and 2 of them reside in Milwaukee. Do you really not like Professional basketball, or is there an underlying issue you have with the league? I have never heard anyone say that they like college football and dislike the NFL..... Come on people! I have come up with 1 possible reason for the lack of Bucks spirit in this state: Wisconsin is not an NBA state.
People love their beer, cheese and brats along with their dosage of Brewers and Packers, with a small side of Marquette and Wisconsin college sports. Desert is an Admirals or Iron game. Bucks have a hard time making it in this rotation surprisingly.
According to a CBS article, the NBA is watched more than college basketball in this country as a whole. Another interesting statistic from this article implies that Green Bay is the biggest NFL city and Wisconsin is the largest NFL state. Does this surprise anyone?
I have the perfect solution: Ship all the NBA haters/NFL lovers up to Green Bay so I don't have to listen to their illogical NBA arguments anymore. The logical non fair-weather fan is more than welcome to remain a citizen in Milwaukee, but the rest of you 1-minded Packer oriented nuts can enjoy your beloved city all year long!
In America we are blessed with a plethora of exciting, engaging and competitive sports to choose from. Not respecting other people's passion is downright cruel and I am asking Wisconsinites to chillax.
