WIN: Packers Super Bowl MVP Rogers Is A Strong Union Man Helping To "Block The Lockout"

By Doug Cunningham
The Super Bowl’s Most Valuable player is a union representative. Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers is a strong support of the players union, the National Football League Player’s Association.

Rodgers says he stands behind the NFLPA and believes in the union as it fights to avoid an owner’s lockout of players for next season.

The Player’s union’s “Block The Lockout” effort is seeking to keep players on the field as owners try to take back some money and extend their season while threatening the lockout.

The NFLPA’s George Attalah said:

We still believe a lockout is coming unfortunately. And it's gotten to the point now where we as a union, as players and as fans frankly need to do everything we can to prevent it.


Rightrardia was pleased that Green Bay won because it represents the "public option."


The Packers are the last vestige of "small town teams" that were once common in the NFL during the 1920s and 1930s.

Founded in 1919 by Earl "Curly" Lambeau and George Whitney Calhoun, the Green Bay Packers can trace its beginning to other semi-professional teams in Green Bay dating in 1896.

The Packers joined the American Professional Football Association (APFA) in 1921, the forerunner to what is known today as the National Football League (NFL).

The Packers are the only non-profit, community-owned major league professional sports team in the United States.

How about that!
