It took longer than many hoped or expected, but Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers finally weighed in on the unrest over racial inequality sweeping the United States.

Sort of.

Rodgers took to Instagram to respond to New Orleans Saints quarterback Drew Brees’ remark (that he apologized for this morning) that he “would never agree with anyone disrespecting the flag of the United States or our country.”

The Packers quarterback defended his team’s action of locking arms during the national anthem before a game two years ago, saying it was never about the flag then or now and implored people (including Brees) to “listen with an open heart” and called for people to educate themselves and “turn word and thought into action.”

While not directly addressing the murder of George Floyd in Minneapolis or the racial inequality facing our country, Rodgers did at least respond to a peer who made a rather insensitive and frankly ignorant statement.

That said, Rodgers’ words would hold more weight if he’d directly address current events instead of vaguely discussing them in a statement directed more at Brees than his own black teammates.

This isn’t the time for vague statements, Aaron. It’s the time for courage and swift specific action. Your teammates have made their feelings crystal clear. Can you, a white quarterback who’s one of the most famous athletes in the world, do the same? If you can, you can have a much more significant impact than just slapping the wrist of a fellow MVP quarterback.

Maturity and intelligence served Rodgers well during a painful transition and the same traits are present in his likely successor. Jordan Love’s poise will serve him well during what could be another rough transition between starting quarterbacks for the Packers.

This would put me in a sour mood. I’d lose my zest for life as this doesn’t really ap-peel to me. Someone would need to come to my aid.
