Aaron Rodgers calls out fan for making anti-Muslim comments during moment of silence

In light of the recent events in Paris, the Green Bay Packers held a moment of silence before Sunday's game against the Detroit Lions. What was supposed to be a sign of respect for the lives lost on Friday turned into a sophomoric attempt for attention.
While most in attendance at Lambeau Field participated in the moment of silence, a few did not.

Packers fans screaming "Go Pack Go!" and "Detroit Sucks!" during the moment of silence to honor those lost in Paris.
After the game, Aaron Rodgers used his postgame interview to express his disapproval over those few fans:
"I think it's important to do things like that. We're connected—a connected world [with] six degrees of separation. I must admit that I was very disappointed with the fan who made the comment. I thought it was really inappropriate during the moment of silence.
It's that kind of prejudicial ideology that, I think, puts us in the position that we're in today."
