Since some of us working on the documentary are proud shareholders of the Green Bay Packers, we thought it well suited to post evidence of that and share how we feel about such a thing.

Oneida Casino Tribute Statues Are Everywhere In Green Bay
As we drove around Green Bay this past May, there seemed to be a new Oneida Casino Tribue Statue or granite plackard popping up every day.
