The Green Bay Packers – Hawkeye
The Green Bay Packers have something that no other professional sports team can boast. They’re owned by the fans. A cool concept that certainly makes people happy. It must feel great to know that you have a personal stake in a team that you love. They also had two elite quarterbacks that brought Super Bowls to their city. A team with big-time quarterbacks needs someone with aim.
Hawkeye has all of the sureness in his aim that Brett Favre does on top of his arrogance. Hawkeye and Favre know how good they are. When the time comes to put up or shut up, they always put up. You could also equate Clint Barton’s love for his family with Green Bay’s love for their team. For Clint, nothing comes above his family. If you’ve ever met a Packers fan, they have that same kind of passion.
Another similarity between Hawkeye and Brett Favre is neither of them stayed retired. Favre kept saying he was done and ended up playing again. We’ve seen Clint Barton give up being a hero only to join the Avengers again. Both Clint and Favre live simple lives as well.
