The Green Bay Packers aren’t owned by a billionaire like the rest of the teams. Instead, the Packers are owned by individuals who purchase shares of stock as ownership of the team. Unlike Milwaukee, Green Bay isn’t a left wing anti-American cesspool. The players, who’s salary is paid for by the stock owners of the team, which is the local community has asked it’s fans to join their “protest” this coming Sunday. The backlash against this in Green Bay has been epic. The one who asked the fans to join in the protest is lily white trash Aaron Rogers. So those who keep playing the race card as this being a “backlash” against only black NFL players have their race card invalidated automatically.

The Packers players, led by their quarterback Aaron Rodgers, issued a call to their fans to join them in interlocking arms during the national anthem. However, some fans have not taken kindly to the request. According to the Green Bay Press-Gazette, Packers Director of Public Affairs, Aaron Popkey, says fan reaction has been intense.
“We’ve had a steady stream of feedback beginning Monday morning and it continued into Wednesday. We’ve heard on both sides of the matter. We take note of their concerns.”
The fact that Popkey alludes to the “concerns” of the fans, would certainly lead one to believe that the “steady stream” of fan feedback has definitely tacked more negative, than positive.
The issue of anthem protests, already a hot-button issue, became an even bigger story after President Trump’s comments in Alabama last Friday night. Where, he referred to players who protested the anthem as “SOB’s,” and said he wished their team owners would fire them.
