Just before the moment of silence ended, another man can be heard yelling “have some respect.”

Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, was forced to comment on the outburst after the game, suggesting those type of “prejudicial” comments have contributed to current events.

“I must admit, though, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was who made a comment that I thought was really inappropriate, during the moment of silence,” Rodgers told reporters.

“It’s that kind of prejudicial ideology that I think puts us in the position that we’re in today, as a world.”
