Green Bay QB Aaron Rodgers shows what a true classy guy he is. [View all]
And I don't say that with sarcasm.
Aaron Rodgers praised for criticizing fans anti-Muslim comments
It was not a red-letter day for Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers. Though he led a late rally, many of his passes went wide, and the Packers were trounced by the Detroit Lions, giving that team just its second victory of the season.
But if Rodgers came up short on the field, he made up for it at the news conference afterward. Just two days after religious extremists killed at least 132 in Paris, Rodgers registered a complaint about a fan who appeared to shout Muslims suck during a moment of silence.
I think its important to do things like [the moment of silence]. Were a connected world, you know six degrees of separation, Rodgers said after the game, as The Washington Posts Des Bieler reported. I must admit, though, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was who made a comment that I thought was really inappropriate, during the moment of silence. Its that kind of prejudicial ideology that I think puts us in the position that were in today, as a world.
