Aaron Rodgers has never been about other people, regardless of what his most recent ESPN interview has him saying otherwise.
For me, my clarity on Aaron Rodgers came from a single instance, and it had little to do with football. To be fair, I always “hated” what he did on the field in the sense that I disliked the way he dismantled the Bears, and I resented how Green Bay of all teams managed to land back-to-back Hall-of-Fame caliber quarterbacks. However, I tried to respect the player. Up until a certain point, that was easy.
Then, in 2013, Todd Sutton called out Aaron Rodgers for his support of his business partner Ryan Braun, and Rodgers (who has an enormous power edge in terms of platform for his comments) came back at Sutton.
