Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers says that he likes when NFL players speak their minds about important social issues, but also says he believes the NFL's culture discourages its players from speaking up more because they fear repercussions from the league.
Rodgers made an appearance on ESPN Radio's “Wilde and Tausch" last week and cited an ESPN article in which Seattle Seahawks defensive end Michael Bennett said that players needed to step up and make their voices heard.
Bennett mentioned Rodgers in an interview last month saying, "You don't see a lot of great players talking about things socially, whether it's Peyton Manning or Aaron Rodgers.
