Punta Gorda, FL — Rudy Giuliani refused to sign a potential voter’s Green Bay Packers hat after a campaign stop Monday afternoon, saying it would be “bad luck.”
The loyal New York Giants fan denied the request as he was signing autographs and posing for photos after a meet and greet at the Village Fish Market and Restaurant on day two of his bus tour through the Sunshine State. While Florida has become the campaign’s must-win state, Giuliani is apparently drawing a line as to how far he will go to woo voters.
“I won’t sign that,” he said after campaign chairman Pat Oxford handed him the hat. “No, no, no. That would be bad luck right now.”
The Giants are set to play the Packers in the NFC Championship game on Sunday and Giuliani is a life-long fan of his hometown team.
“I’ll sign it after (the game),” Giuliani told the man as he instead signed another supporters’ Giants visor. But the Packers fan was relentless, again demanding Giuliani “sign it now!” Giuliani refused the request after which the man could be heard grunting.
The former NYC mayor is also a committed New York Yankees fan but was criticized this fall when he opted to support the Boston Red Sox–citing his loyalty to the American League–after his team was knocked out of contention. No word yet whether he might do the same for the NFC rival if the Giants go down on Sunday.
