A moment of silence was observed for the victims of the Paris terrorist attacks before Sunday's game between the Green Bay Packers and the Detroit Lions, a gesture that was soiled by a fan at the stadium who is believed to have shouted an anti-Muslim slur.
After the game, Rodgers expressed his disappointment in the fan's outburst, calling it "inappropriate" and saying that the kind of prejudice expressed by the fan is why the world is where it is today:
