The Chicago Cubs star outfielder Crow-Armstrong, as part of the Chicago sports realm, has become a big supporter of the Chicago Bears. That also means he is supposed to have all the hate in the world for Chicago’s fierce NFC North rivals Packers. Following the Cubs’ 2-1 victory over the Milwaukee Brewers at Wrigley Field in Chicago on Thursday, the top favorite to win the National League Most Valuable Player was asked by a reporter if Green Bay “sucks.” “Historically no,” Crow-Armstrong responded (h/t 104.3 The Score). “Would I like to see the Packers get swept this year? Absolutely.” You can watch that interaction here: Does Green Bay really suck? “Historically no,” answers Pete Crow-Armstrong. “Would I like to see the Packers get swept this year?
