Before the Green Bay Packers played the Detroit Lions at Lambeau Field, a fan shouted out an anti-Islamic comment during the match’s moment of silence that could clearly be heard on the Fox Broadcast of the pregame ceremony. “Muslims suck,” the fan [said](https://streamable.com/vs3f?t=20.8). Chants of “Death to Muslims” were also [reported](http://profootballtalk.nbcsports.com/2015/11/15/aaron-rodgers-denounces-green-bay-fan-for-prejudiced-comment-during-moment-of-silence/). Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers publicly called out the fan who made the remark during his postgame press conference, . “I think it’s important to do things like \[the moment of silence\]. We’re a connected world, you know — six degrees of separation,” he said. “I must admit, though, I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was who made a comment that I thought 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, as a world.” See the clip of the press conference below: ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"NewsArticle","@id":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/"},"headline":"Aaron Rodgers Calls Out Fan Who Shouted Anti-Muslim Slur During Moment of Silence","datePublished":"2015-11-16T20:02:38.000Z","dateModified":"2026-08-04T07:47:56.215Z","description":"\"I was very disappointed with whoever the fan was who made a comment\"","url":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/","keywords":["Newsfeed","Sports topic","Athletes","Religion","Football","NFL"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1191289c012a0dbf/69887153ab6d771cf96a72b6/aaron-rodgers-denounces-anti-islamic-remark.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Megan McCluskey","jobTitle":"Staff Writer","url":"https://time.com/author/megan-mccluskey/"}],"articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt1191289c012a0dbf/69887153ab6d771cf96a72b6/aaron-rodgers-denounces-anti-islamic-remark.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675,"headline":"Green Bay Packers v Carolina Panthers","caption":"Aaron Rodgers #12 of the Green Bay Packers during their game at Bank of America Stadium on November 8, 2015 in Charlotte, North Carolina.","creditText":"Streeter Lecka/Getty Images","representativeOfPage":true}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"/tag/time-section-newsfeed/","name":"Newsfeed"}},{"@type":"ListItem","position":2,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/","name":"Aaron Rodgers Calls Out Fan Who Shouted Anti-Muslim Slur During Moment of Silence"}}]},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"VideoObject","name":"TIME Raw: Obama at the G-20 Summit: \"We have the finest military minds in the world.\"","description":"","thumbnailUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/v2/media/U2JjTQoI/poster.jpg?width=720","uploadDate":"2015-11-16T17:23:35.000Z","contentUrl":"https://cdn.jwplayer.com/manifests/U2JjTQoI.m3u8","embedUrl":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/","duration":"PT1M51S","potentialAction":{"@type":"SeekToAction","target":"https://time.com/4114893/paris-attacks-aaron-rodgers-islam/?jw_start={seek_to_second_number}","startOffset-input":"required name=seek_to_second_number"}}] ```
