The Green Bay Packers made a major announcement on Monday. Green Bay is the ONLY team in the NFL who has yet to play a game in London but that will change when they play their first European game in the 2022 NFL season which will be held at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium, the hands-down best stadium in all of England.
In total, there will be five international NFL games next season with the New Orleans Saints also playing at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium and Jacksonville hosting a game at Wembley. In addition to the English games, the Buccaneers will host a game in Munich, Germany and the Arizona Cardinals will host a game in Mexico City.
This is huge for the Green Bay Packers and their fans, it’s their first international regular-season game ever! Surely they would feature the face of the franchise, Aaron Rodgers, in the team’s announcement, right? Wrong.
The Packers announced the game with this graphic below that didn’t include Aaron Rodgers and it immediately sent Green Bay fans into conspiracy theory mode.

Adding to all of this is this tweet from yesterday. Suggesting that Aaron Rodgers will make some sort of announcement on Tuesday. This tweet is from a prominent Denver Broncos, so make of that what you want:
Suspect McAfee show ratings will reach new high this Tues.

Just going back to the Green Bay Packers leaving Aaron Rodgers off of their London announcement, do they know there were only four members of The Beatles? They’ve got four players and the coach in that graphic, not including Aaron Rodgers. These numbers are throwing me off…
