Green Bay Packers Aaron Rodgers quart (Notes) has been under fire this weekend when a local news station showed a clip of him brushing against a cancer patient desperate for his autograph. But even that criticism was reinforced, an unlikely source defended by Rodgers: the same woman, it ignores, Jan Cavanaugh.
Before you rush to condemn, to watch the video that started the storm:
This led to a series of self-righteous handshakes in the media, particularly NBC's Mike Florio, who wrote that Rodgers Cavanaugh is treated as a "beggar leprosy" and suggested that a quarterback was a bad person to ignore a request to autograph.

Cavanaugh heard comments like this and responded to the local ABC WBAY. From an article on the website of the station:
The film has been criticized, but the only people in January is essential for today are those that create the chat.
"I am very unhappy people make so much out, because this is really such, is not a big deal. It's up to players to decide who they want to give you an autograph, and it is their prerogative."
Just a week before, Rodgers autographed pink jersey bearing the number 12 in January, as the team left for Philadelphia. A few years ago, now the star quarterback signed a few things for her, too.
No wonder that a woman fighting cancer with a positive outlook has a solid perspective of things.
Florio over the world are right in saying that the NFL players owe their fame and wealth for the fans, and the result will accommodate if possible. But the fact that Aaron Rodgers has signed every autograph for every person that there is no reasonable claim.

Do not think Rodgers is based on this single incident. Are you perfect every second of every day? Do you want people to form opinions about you on how you live every second of your life? Maybe he was arguing with his girlfriend. Maybe he ate bad sushi. Maybe he missed the flight. There are many reasons why he might have brushed Cavanaugh, who are all more plausible that "he does not care to cancer patients."
When I read about this incident, I immediately thought of a tangent to the Make-A-Wish "segment that aired on" SportsCenter "earlier this year. You know when Rodgers goes beyond to ensure that a patient's heart transplant 13 years had the time of his life to Packers training camp. It is strange that nobody rip Rodgers noted that the clip this week.

ESPN segment does not mean that Rodgers is a good guy. But it is much more than an indication of his character as a fraction of a second incident at the airport.
