Packers QB Aaron Rodgers took to social media to add his voice to the ongoing conversation regarding racial inequality and police brutality in the U.S.
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers took to social media Wednesday to add his voice to the ongoing conversation regarding racial inequality and police brutality in the United States.
Rodgers shared an image from a 2017 game against the Chicago Bears, when the Packers locked arms in a show of solidarity during the national anthem after Colin Kaepernick and other NFL players had taken a knee in protest before games.“A few years ago we were criticized for locking arms in solidarity before the game. It has NEVER been about an anthem or a flag. Not then. Not now. Listen with an open heart, let’s educate ourselves, and then turn word and thought into action.
said in an interview with YahooFinance that he would still not support kneeling during the national anthem as a form of protest. Within the first hour after Rodgers posted, several teammates and former Packers players LeRoy Butler and Dorsey Levens supported the Green Bay quarterback in the comments or on their own Instagram story.Redmond tweeted, “What Is this guy even talking about? the problem isn’t our military, flag or kneeling... it’s police brutality and social injustice in our country... see ya 9/27/20 boy”
