2) I read a couple years back a few teams asked if they could print out certificates and sell them to raise money. They were told "no". It's a Packer thing. Now GB doesn't get to do it whenever they want, they have to ask the league who seems to promptly say "sure!". They may have been denied in the past as I didn't check.
3) Now the subject of this thread. They passed a rule and the first thing they did was grandfather in GB because as I originally stated rules are for others....
