Boston sports radio host Mike Felger boycotts Green Bay Packers: I blame the ‘dummies of Wisconsin’

Boston sports radio host Mike Felger has announced his decision to boycott the Green Bay Packers, attributing his decision to the poor coaching and leadership of head coach Matt LaFleur. Felger, a longtime fan of the Packers, stated that he is done supporting the team and will no longer watch their games or support their players.

He called LaFleur an "asshat" and a "complete clown" for his performance, and blamed the residents of Wisconsin for giving LaFleur a contract extension. Felger, who has been a staple of Boston sports media for decades, said that he has better things to do with his time than to watch a poorly coached team. The loss to the Minnesota Vikings, which resulted in a 22-0 score in the fourth quarter, was the final straw for Felger.

Despite the Packers' long history of success, including two Super Bowls and 22 playoff appearances over the past 30 years, Felger's decision to boycott the team highlights the discontent among some fans with the current state of the franchise.
