Who’s Jen?
The fan.
Have you read any of the articles (including the one in the OP)? Do you hate cancer patients so much you refuse to call them by their names and instead make up new ones just to disrespect them?
Of course you don’t, which is part of the problem. Reality bends around the gigantic Diofield that surrounds you and warps into whatever fits your preconceived notions. Nevermind what the people who were actually there said or felt, the fact that he signed for her before, or even all the other charitable work he does, you have your Diorage. I hope it keeps you warm at night, because you certainly don’t enjoy much respect in almost every football thread you post in, for good reason.
That’s what Aaron Rodgers called her in Hamlet’s quote.
Based on what?
[QUOTE=Diogenes the Cynic]
I’ve said over and over that he didn’t have to sign anything, just acknowledge her humanity.
[/QUOTE]
He doesn’t have to acknowledge anything, and it doesn’t make him a lesser human being for not doing so.
I’m archiving this thread so that, when Rodgers joins the Vikings at the waning of his career, I can link to it when you deny you ever disparaged the guy.
Incorrect on both counts. It’s the difference between being a nice guy and being a douchebag.
Just quoting this again for the richness of the irony. You just accused Aaron Rodgers of hating cancer patients.
Who are you to demand anything of him?
I know there are times I don’t feel like smiling or nodding at anyone. I’m sure high profile celebrities feel the same way at times.
That, of course, is personal opinion and not fact. Occasionally not acknowledging someone doesn’t make him a douche bag, it makes him a human who has the option. An option which all of us has chosen on occasion.
But you’re throwing up strawmen here. It’s never been established that he did see her, in order to ignore her. Why don’t you believe he didn’t see her? What proof allows you to make this statement?
Who do I have to be to have an opinion about his behavior? Does he have some special right to be free from public criticism or judgement? Is he Sarah Palin?
I can’t get the audio working on my computer, but here’s the link.

Could someone listen to this and see if Aaron said Jen or if he said Jan and it was transcribed incorrectly.
At least you admit it’s an opinion. But certainly your opinion that he didn’t see her is based at least a little on some logic? Or are you just ripping the guy for sport?
He said Jen. I heard the clip on the radio earlier. I assumed that was her name.
I can see on the video that he walked right by her. He’s an NFL quarterback. He must have pretty good peripheral vision (on the other hand, he does get sacked a lot, so maybe not).
It sounds like “Jan,” but absolute determination isn’t possible.
He said Jen. Of course, Packer fans have their own reality, though.
I’d say he pretty clearly said Jan (got it to work in IE). Even if he hadn’t, why should he have to know her name? Dio is the one that’s been arguing about her all day. He’s the one that’s been given several news articles to read. He’s the one that should know her name, not Aaron Rodgers. Aaron has millions of fans that to deal with, he shouldn’t be expected to know all there names, how many could Dio possibly have.
Again, Dio. Why don’t you check these things before you throw them back in my face. I still want my apology for being accused of citing youtube comments as fact because you didn’t feel like reading the linked news articled that proved that this wasn’t the first time Jan had been at the airport waiting for Aaron.
That sounds like Jen to you? Do you have your ear plugs in?
So, when you skip over or don’t respond to a post here on the SDMB, you’re a douchebag? Or when you dn’t say hi to everyone in the thread? Or is it just Packer quarterbacks who are douchebags for not nodding to everyone at an airport, whether they see them or not. Maybe they should be bobblehead dolls, nodding to everything, so as to not upset your delicate sense of douchebaggery.
