I get what you're saying, but my belief is most people just didnt like him... even before this.
And you know good and damn well I'm a ride for my Packers. Been doing that since day one on this board
Bro...I'm a giants fan
And I'm the first one to call them out.
I can't do that blind loyalty it's hard enough to watch games being aware of the horrible things this league allows.
I ain't pulling out the cape for no team
As much as Aaron gave off that smug smart ass vibe? Many folk STILL liked him
You completely under estimate just how much not only Aaron Rodgers is liked and respected but folk got no hate for that team really outside Chicago etc
Folk rooted for Aaron against Brett.
Aaron tried to rep that black lived matter and a few other social issues
When he had personal family issues we sided with him...
We laughed at all the conspiracy stuff
Unlike with OTHER ESPECIALLY BLACK PLAYERS
We ROOTED for him to get the jeopardy gig
And with all the contract talk and drafting that kid qb?
A majority of folk STILL took his side
And everyone knows and says he one of the best to EVER do it period
Bro what MORE do you want?
What he did was f*cked
Period
And I say that as a football fan player supporter and father of an immunocompromised kid.
He wrong on all levels and worse? Got a slap on the wrist.
More worse? He went full maga to protect himself
Dissing kyrie in the process
And then now he copping pleas about how he was wrong etc etc
Cause he KNEW he was inches away from the BIG sponsors like State Farm pulling out and not just condemning what he did.
I don't respect that man now at all and never will.
And the NFL as a whole continues to be a sh*t show.
