Packers quarterback: Protests are about unity in the face of Trump's divisiveness

2017-09-30

[TheHill] Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Thursday night said NFL protests are about showing unity in the face of divisiveness from President Trump.

At a press conference following his team's victory over the Chicago Bears, Rodgers charged the president with being divisive without mentioning his name.

"It's never been about the national anthem, it's never been about the military," Rodgers said of the protests.

"We're all patriotic in the locker room, we love our troops. This is about something bigger than that: an invitation to show unity in the face of some divisiveness from the top in this country."
Hoping this follows him in his quest for endorsement gigs. One trick pony without the "aw-shucks" likeability of Brett Favre, imo.

#12 He looks too much like Pul Ryan to be trusted. The problem is not Trump's response, but the traitorous scumbags who happily provoke it. I don't know about you Raj, but I have seen and carried too many dead marines to takeout so cavalierly.

#10 Rodgers is light in the cleats -- only a matter of time before he goes Chelsea Manning on us.

#8 You want to be democrat political tools?
Fine.
I do not pay for that fucktards. Now you are a social welfare and political activist organization.
I do not deduct that either.

So take your billions, hit the street, and fix it yourselves. That is all you have not done while pissing in MY face.

Try me on Stupid Sunday again. The firing will be complete.

This is about football, not you, but FUCK YOU ALL for trying to continue it.
And FUck your tax status and stadium and roman bullshit with marxist flowers.

I offered you an out and you still would not take it so as of Stupid Sunday #2, you are officially fired.

Hand over Your Heart you bitches, or it is over. You love US or Hate US.

There will be no middle road anymore.
Anymore.
I will turn Brother against Brother -because you were ignorant, arrogant, rich stupid assholes.

It is in the Bible.

#6 Originally, the protests were because America is just so danged awful. Now, after some serious pushback from the fans AND Trump poking their little hive with the twitter stick, it's all about unity. Good luck with that!

#5 Pure unmitigated projection caused by a dislike of the results of democracy.

#1 As repeated many times before - the problem is not the Kaepernicks of the world kneeling during the National Anthem; the problem is Trump's reaction to it. And I thought Rodgers was smart.
