By now, everyone has seen the video of Aaron Rodgers getting stepped on by Ndamukong Suh, but is the attention the incident has gotten evidence of NFL bias? Matthew Stafford was cleated during the game also, but his incident has not even been mentioned.
Minnesota Paper Makes Gay Jokes About Rodgers
Stafford's wife did not fail to notice that her husband was on the receiving end of a Green Bay defender's cleat, nor did she fail to notice that almost nobody mentioned it after the game.
The lack of coverage over Stafford being cleated is especially noteworthy given the overwhelming amount of run the story about Rodgers and Suh has gotten. To be fair, the Rodgers-Suh incident likely got a lot more traction because of Suh's checkered disciplinary history, but it still plays into a perceived bias the NFL has toward its most elite quarterbacks.
Once Suh was suspended, Stafford's wife Kelly took to Instagram to let everyone know how she felt, saying that Stafford got it just as bad or worse than Rodgers, and nobody even seemed to notice.
Suh's won his appeal of his suspension after stepping on Rodgers. He is now eligible to play in this weekend's game against the Dallas Cowboys, although he did still receive a fine.
