You can call this a pretty good piece of grandstanding. Or you could imagine how Vikings fans in parts of Minnesota would feel if they couldn't watch their team's games without taking extra measures.
That's a setup for what Wisconsin Sen. Tammy Baldwin did Wednesday in Washington, D.C.: introduced the #GoPackGo Act because, as she tweeted, "no Packers fan should ever be forced to watch Vikings games."
The Milwaukee Journal Sentinel reports: "Currently, 13 Wisconsin counties are assigned to an out-of-state team based on their broadcast media markets."
And 12 of the 13 counties are served by Minnesota TV stations showing the Vikings instead of Green Bay.
According to the Journal Sentinel, "The Go Pack Go Act would require cable, satellite and other TV providers to give customers in Wisconsin access to programming within their home state."
