Milwaukee Bucks announced during Game 3 that Aaron Rodgers would become a limited owner of the Milwaukee Bucks. He joins the ownership team, and he becomes the first NFL player to take a minority stake in another professional sports franchise. Many people thought Golden State Warriors guard Steph Curry would do the same with the Carolina Panthers when their new ownership was announced. Rodgers beat him to the punch. For anyone who thought the Green Bay Packers quarterback would be leaving the state is sorely mistaken.

Rodgers’ dedication to the state and the region is something we haven’t seen by any other athlete in my lifetime. Brett Favre was not like this at all. Favre is Wisconsin’s hero of the 90′, but he never really showed love for the other teams. Granted, the Bucks and Brewers were a goddamn mess in the 90’s. It’s not like either of these teams were any good and making an appearance didn’t seem needed. It would be really cool to see this across the board. Christian Yelich visiting Bradley Center when he can. Giannis Antetokounmpo coming up to Lambeau Field. I love this state, and I’m glad to see our athletes are getting behind the state.

Charlie.
