The Green Bay Packers asked fans to link arms during the national anthem at Thursday nights game against the Chicago Bears to show unity. If the footage from the songs performance is any indication, fans largely ignored that request.
Quarterback Aaron Rogers even made a personal request, saying weve got to come together and talk about these things and grow as a community, as a connected group of individuals in our society, and were going to continue to show love and unity, and this week were going to ask the fans to join in as well and come together and show people that we can be connected and we can grow together.

Remember how many people took time off work to protest in Madison a few years ago? It cost them time and money to do that. They were crazy and deserved to fail because of that, but they did protest in the proper place during business hours. These fools are crapping at the feet of their fans and the Country of those fans. If they feel so strong about it, they need to take time off work to prove it.
Just like the women’s march.
that’s why he was on BSPN all the time. I know that BSPN only gives spotlight articles to their own lefty kin.
Just a little help as to what he is really saying.
I forgot to mention something I did not see in these Comments.
NFL players get a certain number of free game tickets each week.
Aaron Rogers “donated” his tickets to the Green Bay Police Department for last night’s game.
However, last Sunday, Rogers linked arms on national TV with supporters of Black Lives Matter.
The journalist who wrote the story about Rogers’ ticket donation called Rogers “a class act,” and actually meant it.
The only “class act” in this story was the Green Bay P.D., which did not insult Rogers or return the tickets.
Agreed.
Yep, Rodgers sounds like a typical Cal Grad.
It seems to me the Green Bay Packers have already come together in a sign of unity when they decided to join the chorus of disrespecting punks. Now, they want unity????
Lost any bit of respect I had for the Rodgers-dodger!
Did anyone hear the nonsense from the announcer at the end of the video?
“Well there you saw it, just as Rodgers had asked for. That demonstration of love and unity. And I’m sure you heard the chant throughout Lambeau; ‘USA’ before the Anthem.”
How
The fans showed up last night
Did they cheer when Rodgers threw TDs ?
I’ll put this real simply > ANYONE showing up in the stands at an NFL game is just as guilty as the seditious kneeling scum on the field.
Agreed. This is a seminal period in a culture war. And the fans are acting like its business as usual. Shame.
To each their own I suppose, but imho if you’re supporting the problem, you’re part of it.
Lest most of you forget. GREEN BAY PACKERS are owned by SHAREHOLDERS. We own that team and there is NO owner. We are quite different from every other NFL franchise. We will NEVER have Packers moving out of town.
Our disgust is with Mark Murphy, CEO. The Green Bay papers were TROUNCED and overwhelmed with phone calls protesting this unity bs. The local radio shows, the people all over Wisconsin who have been loyal fans, will NOT and do NOT put up with this nonsense.
WE called, we made our voices heard loud and clear. The stadium holds approximately 79,000+ all season ticket holders and there are currently north of 100,000 people on a waiting list for season tickets.
We are different. WE own and run that team, and were not happy that Mark Murphy CEO blurted out the disgusting “stand behind our kneeling players”. He does not speak for us, the owners and THAT was the difference last night. The cameras found probably the 5 people in the stands that were linking arms.
We STAND for the flag and Kneel for the cross.
Notice only one short beer commercial last night? I read that Anheuser-Busch had a chat with the NFL and told them to KNOCK THIS OFF.
Irate Packer owner.
Now is the time for Vince Lombardi to rise from the grave and re-animate. He would set the Packers straight very quickly
Who cares if they are gay? Packer fans seem to think this isn't about B L M for Rogers or Thompson. Their beef is that people don't accept homosexuality.
