    Default Packers fans deny team request

    So much for the Packer fans not caring!! And like everywhere else, their fans are pissed at this crap.

    --

    Packlash!: Fans Enraged By Packer’s Request to Join Anthem Demonstration, Let Team Know They Want No Part of It

    Sports teams ask a lot of their fans, especially in places like Green Bay. Where, depending on the time of year, a fan could get hypothermia while just sitting in his seat. However, one recent request the team has made of the Pack faithful has left fans feeling a little hot.

    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.

    Here's a tidbit of info that may or may not effect who wants what. The City of Green Bay, WI owns the team and the stadium. There is no "owner" per se. Smart move for many reasons if you as me.

    And speaking of .... since when are stadiums public property? And not once since Kaeperdickless started this crap have I heard of or seen so much as a single permit to demonstrate. Thought that was required. Sounds like a reason to boot players and fans alike.

    Of course petey. Nobody is talking about it because YOU don't know anybody who wants to talk, or be around you. Your arrogant personality drives other humans away.

    No one knelt on either side. None of the Bears knelt on Sunday so no change there but packers changed. And crowd chanted USA USA USA during it. Yeah no one cares.

    Daddy's little girl, the disabled Army vet and also pays the cable bill has decreed there will be NO NFL in her house. Period.

    I think she's blowing smoke since none of us watch it anyway
