The pressure on the field is intense, and in these trying times, one truly loses their cool. This is what happened to the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers during what later would turn out to be a historic match-up. Against longtime rivals Chicago Bears, Rodgers said something which offended a lot of Bears fans. The profanity spoken by A-Rod did not come without a price. However, Aaron Rodgers explains why he behaved so rudely.

After scoring a touchdown in the game which defeated the Bears by 24-14 points, Aaron Rodgers repeatedly yelled: “I own you…I still own you!” at fans seated near the corner of the end zone. He might’ve let out a few words not suitable for children’s listening. Many thought the behavior of the quarterback was insensitive. Many thought it was all in pure fun.

Aaron Rodgers felt ‘negativity’ at Soldier Field

Rodgers saw a woman sitting in the front row who was giving her the double bird. He then could not control himself and did not seem to remember what came out of his mouth next. Even though he offended many fans by what he said, he reasoned it out in a way to protect himself from the “negativity” that was coming his way.

Other than Brett Favre, no one has ever thrown more touchdown passes than Rodgers’ 55. The aggressiveness was profound in the game. However, that helped Rodgers and the Green Bay Packers to win against their eternal opponents.
