The NFL found itself getting many shout outs at the Republican National Convention on Thursday night, where former president Donald Trump gave his first speech since there was an assassination attempt on his life. The former president played to the crowd in his first speech.

Trump, who officially got the party’s nomination for the 2024 election, was quite emotional in this first address to the nation since there was an attempt on his life. However, in classic Trump fashion, he made sure to give some comedy in his speech as well. Namely, he played to his Wisconsin crowd.
Wisconsin will undoubtedly be a crucial swing state in this upcoming election. Trump had one Wisconsin in 2016 but then lost it in 2020. Trump made sure that when complimenting the Wisconsin delegates, to say only the best things about the beloved Green Bay Packers. There were even many delegates in the crowd wearing ‘cheeseheads’, as you would see at Green Bay’s Stadium.

“And Green Bay is gonna have a good team this year, right?” They’re gonna have a good team,” Trump said. “They’re gonna have a good team. Most of the audience doesn’t like it, but it’s true. You’re going to have a very good team this year.”
All of the Packers faithful who were there definitely appreciated this from Trump, especially as it came right after the Michigan Rep. John James got the home crowd upset with his own speech about the arch rival Detroit Lions earlier in the week:
“Good evening Wisconsin. Warmest regards from Detroit, home of the NFC North champion Detroit Lions,” James said.
The Lions will undoubtedly be the Packers biggest hurdle within the division this year, as Detroit is coming off their best season in decades with one of the best rosters in the NFL. The Packers are also looking back to contenders just one year removed from Aaron Rodgers. The race will surely be exciting as both of these teams have a lot to be optimistic about heading into the year.
Jordan Love and the Packers will have a great chance to prove Trump right this year, as they over performed last year and almost made it to play the Lions in the NFC Championship.
