Aaron Rodgers and Russell Wilson have recently traded barbs over the role of God in football with Rodgers mocking Wilson after the Green Bay Packers victory over the Seattle Seahawks.
According to ESPN, Wilson did his best to not escalate the feud by simply responding, “I know for me, I’m just grateful that God has given me the opportunity to play the great game of football. I’m so grateful. I know that one of the things my parents always taught me is just continue to remain humble in your victories and your losses. And I think that’s just the thing that I’m grateful for, just to be able to play the game of football. I love it. Like I said, everybody’s entitled to their own opinion.” (RELATED: Aaron Rodgers Says God Is A Green Bay Packers Fan)
Russell Wilson might have a new ally, and it’s Aaron Rodgers’ brother Jordan Rodgers. Jordan took to Twitter to weigh in on the situation.
The tweets were eventually deleted, but not before screenshots were taken. (RELATED: NFL Star Russell Wilson Grants Young Girl Her Final Wish Shortly Before She Dies)
The feud between Rodgers and Wilson goes back to the 2015 NFC championship game when Wilson credited God for the Seahawks victory over the Packers. Rodgers responded with, “I don’t think God cares a whole lot about the outcome. He cares about the people involved, but I don’t think he’s a big football fan.”
During the Super Bowl media days Wilson made his belief clear on Rodgers’ stance saying, “I think God cares about football. I think God cares about everything he created.”
