Did Rodgers flirt with pro sports immortality last summer?

[woodbuck27]

Upon further review, Aaron Rodgers is gay.

Ohh!? Does he dress up as a poolicemaan ...often?

What's the name of that band? I like that video the way the band ROCKS !

Some 'suppa cool' dancers there but it's all in balance and thatssaanice .

I'm like Aaron Rodgers 'with a twist'. I really really like ' a woman '. I don't have his arm, now ... yet I'm not dead and my eyes really liked that (lead/rhythm guitar (RHS) in this band. She threw a jolting strike into my psyche.

I still think the story of a gay FA safety is very much a story for packerrats though.

I agree...Memo Ted Thompson.

If Kerry Rhodes can still walk bring that cat in for a look.

Ted's 'da man ferrr dat' ... so please ... get errrr done Teddy.

Call Kerry Rhodes agent. You must.... get his number....on a Packer jersey and in a Green Bay... closet or... locker.

I find it repugnant that these rumors begin in the first place. What, a nice looking famous person is 30 and still single so the reason MUST be because he/she is gay? It was a shame Aaron had to address it in the first place.

He certainly didn't have to address it Pugger. In doing so he cast himself to all the fricken' boo boo birds that can't really draw on any sensible thought (s).

He simply needs another friend to help him with sound advice. The former fella that he lived with, has been rejected for some reason, that's not anyone's business by Aaron Rodgers.

Aaron must have felt some stress/pressure to make such a statement about a non issue. If I was Aaron's friend (his Bud) I'd have advised him never to go there, as he did on the Jason Wilde show.

If Jason Wilde allowed him to go there with any pre knowledge of this meaningless sensationalized baloney. Jason Wilde, in my view, made an error allowing Aaron to do so. It's my position if he had pre-knowledge and simply staged his ignorance of Aaron's dismissal of all the 'he's gay rumors'. Jason Wilde isn't Aaron's friend in terms of his best interests.

In such a case... Jason Wilde had his own best interests in place in terms of ratings. Only Jason Wilde and Aaron Rodgers know the TRUTH and that.

Now re-focusing this on Aaron Rodgers:

It's because he felt that need that we're here now. That's the truly sad result of Aaron Rodgers and no truly intelligent friend (s) that could influence him properly.

If Aaron Rodgers had just one such a friend. This thread wouldn't exist today.

Hi Patler:

" Rodgers' denial will not end the discussion, that will take time and it may not ever disappear complete as long as he remains single (just as it hasn't ended even for Aikman)." Patler

That's your opinion and would clash with mine Patler. Why?

Happy New year Woodbuck! For us "more experienced" Packer fans, it's always good to be around for another year!

Why won't Rodgers' denial end the debate? Lots of reasons, but mostly because human nature won't let it. The media panders to those who want to believe these types of rumors, and many people assume a famous person in this situation will avoid the truth anyway. They will continue to believe whatever they want to believe, regardless of Rodgers' denials. The rumor hung with Aikman until he married, and even then some suggested it was a marriage for show. His later divorce fed their beliefs.

Your thread is specific to the Packers star player Aaron Rodgers. The clear MVP of the Green Bay Packers .

A man that has declared, 'for whatever need is his business', that he's NOT Gay. That in fact he really realy likes woman...*** not girls He's an adult male and Aaron Rodgers "really really likes women".

*** I hope at Packerrats we are clear on that much. Before some other 'shit' hits the proverbial fan.

That's it then any focus on this and Aaron Rodgers is a harbour of exactly what Aaron Rodgers and I would expect the green bay Packers do not want as any distraction at this time. Look at the size of this thread and as long as it's up and going; which is entirely cool. I'll post my reactions to it as any member at Packerrats is free to do.

My thread was specific to a story already circulating in the national media that tied Rodger to that situation. I did not make the connection, it was already made by others. I simply brought an existing topic up for discussion.

The distraction for Rodgers and the Packers is already there. Neither I nor our discussion on this thread created it, and we can not make it go away either.

AR's history of responding to the negative things in his life may make this distraction a good thing for the Packers.

Patler:

Did you do a read over of that thread I posted ...your LINK?

That thread was broadly focused on a specific event /non-event. Something that was to be historic going to fizzle.

That was somewhat a discussion on the matter of FA Kerry Rhodes and 3-Time Pro Bowl player and former Baltimore Raven Brendon Ayanbadejo and positions they held RE: Free choice in terms of 'loving relationships' or basic human rights.

The main focus was that a high profile NFL Gay player [ player(s) !? ] was/were planning to come out of the closet together with the support of the NFL team that player / player (s?) was signed to.

Just as that historic event was about to go down ... it collapsed.

I thought that this was alarming and started a thread to see how Packerrats felt about this story written by award-winning sportswriter Mike Freeman; the author of the fascinating and insightful book 'Bloody Sundays'. Have you read it Patler? It's an interesting read.

My thread had all of 22 posts on it ...23 now.

That thread was basically ignored by the majority share posters at Packerrats. Canadian posters the exception.

That thread focused primarily on the topic and questions. A Gay NFL player (s) coming out openly as being Gay and supported as such by team (s).

Why didn't any of the reported team's and players actually come out? "A player was going to publicly say he was gay with the full knowledge and support of his sexuality by his NFL team." Then it was revealed that there was the possibility of more players than 'one' declaring his sexuality as Gay. Those players being openly supportive of his sexuality. That possibility of multiple players coming out was recanted.

"Gay-rights advocate and former Baltimore Raven Brendon Ayanbadejo said in April that he believed several gay players might come out.

Ayanbadejo later backed away RE: number of players yet stood by his statement that a gay player would soon emerge onto the NFL stage."

My thread on this matter:

Includes viewpoints centered on anything from 'who gives a shit', which psychologists would say often means....; to who cares in these times or "why's that an issue" ?

My thread hardly gets to the core issue and any overall opinion from the membership. You and pbmax participated but the thread is dominated by a Canadian participation. Maybe because the topic is outside any Green Bay Packer team focus!?

Maybe because some Packerrats ...simply "don't give a shit"? That's an Uhh!? with me.

Remarkably to me that coarse or rather distainful response ! What reason for such response behooves me; yet it takes all kinds to round out this world. I lean on the fair side, and chalk that up to simple ignorance. May ignorance not ever be excused?

...and this thread simply brings up that some are suggesting Rodgers may have been involved in that non-event.

Unfortunately, these types of situations always become ones of "damned if you do, and damned if you don't" respond.
It was really a no-win situation for AR, regardless; but I can certainly sympathize with his personal compulsion to respond.

ALL the Very most for you and those you so love.

I'm coming back to this. I have to help Mae start a ham supper.

Later Patler.

[mraynrand]

I really, really, really like Woodbuck.

Yes and we're close here in some ways.

Isn't that very sad? and just the way as people will go and test our frustration level and if they are/remain ignorant. Those of us on the other side must be tolerant. It's against the Law to kick their ass's.

Yes Patler and what a miserable time for this to spring up it's ugly head in terms of so many in a general population that don't get it right. I have to admit 'clear shock' that it landed with both feet firmly planted on Packerrats at this time when we as fans need a special focus.

As a Packer fan and admirer of Aaron Rodgers I'm stuck on today and his statement on the Jason Wilde show that I feel was a negative focusing on the question of privacy and Aaron Rodgers. This release of his somehow need to defend his sexual preference is contradictory to where he has come from. Aaron Rodgers has let out of his bag as he felt that need. In so doing it's my position that he's sold out himself.

Maybe he did act thinking of the best interests of the organization but if that was the case I feel that was an error. He needs to always simply act for himself. His Packer player and personal life as he try's to maintain that, should be kept separate. Always and consistently 'just that'.

Someone posted that it's all over the internet. Being discussesed on several Packer Team site forums. That doesn't affect me. I'm a loyal member of Packerrats. I'm big on 'total all in support' for the Green Bay Packers in relation to positive / good karma and nothing upsetting that apple cart.

It's the right feeling I believe in as simply logical and being a Packer fan.


** "...and this thread simply brings up that some are suggesting Rodgers may have been involved in that non-event. " Patler

If he was why does that matter? If he was that would be by personal choice. Why would Aaron Rodgers get involved in that 'coming out revelation' that wasn't. If he's not a primary figure nor benefactor of such *** ?

*** Aaron Rodgers informs us for some reason (his) yesterday or on Dec. 31,2013 that he's NOT gay on the Co-Hosted Jason Wilde Show.


GO PACKERS ...GO PACK GO !

[mraynrand]

Aaron Rodgers has let out of his bag as he felt that need.

ouch

[mraynrand]

...at this time when we as fans need a special focus.

why do fans need a special focus?

[mraynrand]

Maybe he did act thinking of the best interests of the organization....He needs to always simply act for himself. His Packer player and personal life as he try's to maintain that, should be kept separate. Always and consistently 'just that'.

What if he thinks acting simply for himself involves acting in the best interests of the Packers. What if he thinks acting simply for himself involves not keeping the Packers and his private life separate. Perhaps you don't know what's best for him or the organization, and you certainly don't know what Rodgers thinks is best for the organization. But you probably will claim you do, even as you deny it.

i KNEW it..!

I agree...Memo Ted Thompson.

If Kerry Rhodes can still walk bring that cat in for a look.

Ted's 'da man ferrr dat' ... so please ... get errrr done Teddy.

Call Kerry Rhodes agent. You must.... get his number....on a Packer jersey and in a Green Bay... closet or... locker.

lol

[HarveyWallbangers]

Wait...its a gay SAFETY that no one wants to sign. Fuck it, sign him up. I don't care what his reason is for chasing down grown men and tackling them, as long as he does it better than our excuses for safeties.

Since we need a safety, does this prove TT is not gay? You'd think if he was, then he'd sign this guy up immediately, right?
