Cheeseheads Revolt? Packers' quarterback quits dairy!

Cheeseheads Revolt? Packers' quarterback quits dairy!

Has Aaron Rodgers lost his mind?

Assuming Rodgers, the star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has legitimate reasons for

eliminating dairy and much of the meat from his diet, we suspect Packer fans may not agree. (Somewhere in their contract it must be a violation for Packers' players to be vegan!)

Rogers, 32, says he's

trying to eat healthier and believes his food choices

will help prolong his career.

One fan's advice to help Rodgers play longer: "Stick to using your arm instead of trying to use your brain." Ouch.

Yep, fans can be cruel, even Packer fans. Our guess is that Rodgers anti-cheese comments will be forgotten after his first touchdown pass this season. But, hey, Aaron, don't come out against beer in Wisconsin. That's definitely against a crime against Packer Nation.
