I'll never really get why people hate seeing an all-time great in another uniform. At some point I fully expect Giannis to play out his twilight years in another uniform and I'll be 100% happy for him.
"Happy for Rodgers" isn't exactly the vibe I'm currently getting from Packers Nation.
I do often wonder if social media were around during the era of Michael Jordan (serial gambler/serial cheater), or other Hall of Famers, if there would be as many "fans," who were so apparently offended by the person that it significantly affected the way they viewed the player, as it seems to with guys like Rodgers and Lebron. I always thought that most people watched sports to be entertained by the athletes who can do it at the highest level. Sadly, due to the current media landscape I don't believe that to be the case anymore.
I think a whole bunch of fans moved from wanting to keep him one more year to be ready for him to go, just over the last couple of months. When even my mom is saying its time for Love, you know he has lost the room.
I'm wishing him well, even hope he wins a superbowl as long as it isn't against us. I just don't think it was ever going to happen again with him here. Time to turn the page.
