Let’s get this community going! I am a fan of the New York Football Giants, and I’m hoping for another fun season now that Danny got some weapons.

    I recall reading somewhere that while “not privately owned” the people who own Packers “stock” don’t have any of the same rights as people who old stock in normal companies, e.g. they have no actually equity, the stocks don’t pay a dividend, and they can’t trade their stock with anyone else.

    So I guess it’s more of a quirk than anything else.

      That’s true. The share itself confers nothing more than a certificate, an invitation to the annual shareholder meeting, and the ability to vote on decisions presented be the board of directors. And the ability to brag to you family in, or from, Wisconsin that you’re part-owner of the Packers.
