Packers
In short
The Green Bay Packers are a professional American football team based in Green Bay, Wisconsin, competing in the NFL's NFC North division. They are unique as the only non-profit, community-owned major professional sports team in the United States.
In plain words
They are a famous football team from Wisconsin. Unlike most teams owned by billionaires, the fans actually own the Packers through a community ownership model. They play their home games at the historic Lambeau Field.
A simple example
When a fan buys a share of the team, they become a part-owner, though they do not receive any money back or a share of the profits.
Why it matters
Their ownership structure is a rare example of a successful community-run business in professional sports. They are also one of the oldest and most successful franchises in American football history.
Easy to mix up
Do not confuse them with the Green Bay Packers' opponents or other teams in the NFC North, such as the Chicago Bears.
