The few fans trying to compare Joe Barry being incompetent at his job to a player doing whatever he wants and almost costing the team a possession really makes me question if Packers fans are the smartest.
"The decision to suspend a player is never easy and not one we take lightly. Unfortunately, Jaire's actions prior to the game in Carolina led us to take this step. As an organization, we have an expectation that everyone puts the team first. While we are disappointed, we had a good conversation with Jaire this morning and fully expect him to learn from this as we move forward together. We look forward to welcoming him back next week as he is a valued member of this team and will continue to be in the future." - Brian Gutekunst
The part that sticks out to me is "Jaire's actions prior to the game in Carolina" and does that mean there were prior incidents?
Jaire standing up on a table shouting "two minutes", "90 seconds", "one minute", "30 seconds" at the media letting them know when media availability ends.
Jaire telling the media who's about to ask him questions that's going to lie.
Maybe those (and other unmentioned) incidents factored in? What I've seen some people say is "big deal, it was a coin toss". If Jaire wanted to be a captain, why not go to him? Why circumvent the already stated captains? And what fans SHOULD be upset about is Jaire almost gave the Panthers an extra possession because he screwed up.
Also, I wonder if this will have any impact on his contract money.
