Chicago music is banned at Green Bay radio station

With a chance to play in the Super Bowl on the line against the rival Chicago Bears, one Green Bay, Wisconsin radio station is saying "no" to Chicago. The Packers are playing the Bears this weekend, and WOGB-FM (103.1) has pulled all songs by the band Chicago from their playlist. "Green Bay's Oldies Station" PD/afternoon host Dan Marcus told WBAY-TV, "Their name is the city whose team is blocking our way to the Super Bowl. It's all meant in jest and just a fun thing to do and it helps rally the town, not that this town needs much rallying to begin with." Fans of Chicago are not happy with the ban, and are reminding the station that "If You Leave Me Now," it's "Hard to Say I'm Sorry."
