That and very unhappy with the drafting strategy and apparently, quite offended by the Fackers picking Love.
I believe he has come out and blatantly said he wasn't too upset about drafting Love, he's a good kid. He is more disgruntled with the GM and other choices they have made. Basically don't consult with him ever to see what he wants/needs to improve the team. Doesn't sound like they care what he has to say. I understand they are paying his salary and make the calls but there has to be some communication between you star quarterback and the rest of the staff.
Maybe Rodgers is keeping the dirty laundry private, which is fine but does leave this puzzling question out there about what WILL get him to return. I've not heard it explicitly said "fire the GM". And at some point this will hurt the team (meaning the players) if he's not there working with them and getting things ready. Sure, he personally doesn't need any practice, but the other guys just might.
Honestly I think the Packers would be better off trading him and moving on with Love. It's going to happen soon anyway. Or fire the GM and move on that way. Looks like someone is going to have to leave town....
Life is about making choices. I think the NFL is making the right call here. Can't understand why any of these athletes are not vaccinated unless they have some medical reason (allergy or whatever).
It will be very interesting to see how this all plays out with the NFL, but it seems like the numbers are trending favorable overall. If I'm reading all the numbers right, the NFL has 73.8% of players have had at least one shot where only 56.9% of eligible people in the US have had at least one shot.
^^^^ Just saw this as well. Pot is being stirred in GB, wonder if it will turn into circling the drain.............

From the outside looking in, it seems the only way this ends well is if GB fires the staff that Rodgers is having a problem with. However, that's quite a precedent to set if a player were to have that kind of influence.
All other roads end badly I think. They are either there and very disgruntled, or one or both don't play. Looks like they'd have to trade both away now too.

I know it's a different sport but doesn't Lebron do that everywhere he goes?

IMHO, basketball seems far more mercenary than football - that is really big name players switch teams on a regular basis. I think BB organizations are maybe just more accustomed to having to make alterations to attract the Lebrons of the world. Plus with the rosters so small, you are talking about an athlete that represents 20% of your starting team and you only have maybe 4 other guys to work around. I can see why they might be more open to being accommodating. Where in FB, even though a QB is a pivotal position it's only 4.5% of your starters and you still have the other 21 to consider.
All that being said, if you were the owner or president of any franchise you likely would not want players using their influence to run your organization against your will.
