Excuse me, but I am white, not a democrat and live in the West. I am not alone in those three categories and I am a STEELER backer/fan through and through, as well as everyone I know. I do not know of one person who is backing the Packers EXCEPT the one Packers fan I know… Your Poll is crap. Plan crap…
