NFL Fan Had Something to Say About 'Muslims' During Moment of Silence for Paris — Here's Aaron Rodgers' Response

After a fan reportedly yelled "Muslims suck" during a moment of silence for Paris before the Lions vs. Packers game on Sunday, Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers revealed just how disgusted he was by the outburst.

"I must admit, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was that made a comment that was very inappropriate during the moment of silence," Rodgers said during post-game comments. "It’s that kind of prejudicial ideology that I think puts us in the position we are today as a world.”

Watch the moment of silence below. After someone shouts what sounds like "Muslims suck," another fan responds, "Have some respect!":

Though Rodgers declined to go into detail, USA Today reported that "he wore an expression of disgust" as he provided his general response to what had unfolded.

Muslims suck because a fraction of their population is horrible. So, same for white people, Christians & men. Doesnt make any sense does it?
