Please -- Just Leave Aaron Rodgers Alone!
I have been a Chicago Bears fan all my life. A big fan. In my youth I used to watch sports nonstop. Now, not so much. However, there is no way I ever miss a Bears game unless absolutely necessary. Needless to say, the Green Bay Packers are not exactly at the top of my list of favorite sports teams. That being said ... could all the asshats in the world just leave Aaron Rodgers the fuck alone?
The guy is an amazing athlete, as I have unfortunately witnessed too many times. He is a great quarterback and perhaps in the future will be recognized as one of the all-time best. He kept his mouth shut when playing behind Bret Favre, then came into his own and has been outstanding ever since. By all accounts he is a great teammate and a nice guy and uses his athletic fame to benefit several charities.
Now, however, when his name should be in the news because of the way he crushed the souls of Bears fans like me, he has become the focus of speculation regarding his sexual orientation. I find this troubling on so many levels. I know that he is a public figure, but when will the fascination over sexual orientation ever end?
I don't care if Aaron Rodgers is gay ... or straight ... or whatever. I hate ... hate ... hate that this apparently decent man has to deal with this issue publicly. If he is gay does he have to be a standard bearer, not by his own choice? If he is straight, does he find that he can't even have a roommate without having to give explanations?
I would rant further, but in my mind I would rather just concentrate on the upcoming NFL playoff games and not give this particular issue more publicity than it already has. It seems to me that we should be much better than this.

thx ,bro.it is the weed. LEGALIZE.colorado the amsterdam of the american west. LMAO. have a great weekend GO EAGLES AND BENGALS.
Light - you ask the right question - when will the fascination over sexual orientation end? It's not particularly newsworthy now when an entertainer comes out, but it used to be (thinking when Ellen came out). Eventually, even active football players will be able to come out.
Personally, as a lesbian, I'd be pretty happy if Aaron Rodgers was gay. But, at the same time, sad that we live in a world where he didn't feel safe being out to the world.
well put lightning. at some point as a society perhaps we will grow up over the whole sexual orientation thing.
PS. he good by the way.
the rumor was that kordell stewart qb 4 the steelers aka slash was gay.
I'm GLAD (see what I did there?) you finally decided to come out of the closet.
I've suspected all along that you were a Packers fan.
Congrats on your new found freedom :)
As TBC would say it matters alot because the bible says....... OH WHO THE FUCK CARES. I HAVENT READ THE BIBLE IN YEARS....lol

according to TBC, man on man sex is OK if it is 4 a big mac or clean socks. french kissing is a plus. lmao
