Well I'll just jump in too it, Rodgers is arguably the face of the franchise and team leader. I get he had this planned in advance but when you're in a leadership role regardless if it's a football team or private company sometimes you're expected to attend these kind of functions.
To me personally he should darn well know that skipping out is going to create a bit of a stir and look bad, be the leader and show up.
Now before I get all the Favre/Rodgers poo storm.... ask yourself this: If it was Bart Starr or Jerry Kramer Rodgers was dissing would you still say no big deal ?
Again a real leader can't pick and choose his situations he has to take them as they come.... Just my thoughts
