Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, is a huge public enemy in the city of Chicago. It’s cause the Packers’ quarterback haunts the Chicago Bears franchise whenever he is on the field playing against them.
The Green Bay Packers and the Chicago Bears are part of the same division in the NFL, i.e., the NFC North. Since his debut in the NFL, Aaron Rodgers has been one of the best quarterbacks in the league. He has achieved a tremendous amount of success with the Packers, so there is no surprise with the fans in Chicago dislike him.

Last season, Rodgers called out the Bears fans after winning the game for his team and said, “I still own you.” It is fair to say that there is no love lost between the Bears fans and Rodgers.
Aaron Rodgers is also a minority owner of the Milwaukee Bucks in the NBA. He has often been seen attending the games of the franchise. He was also present last night, where the Bucks played the Chicago Bulls.

Aaron Rodgers has enjoyed a good amount of success in the regular season throughout his career. Surprisingly, his record and performances in the playoffs aren’t that good. Only winning one Super Bowl during his career hurts his reputation as a legendary quarterback in the NFL.
Since the Milwaukee Bucks lost a playoff game against the Chicago Bulls, the fans from the Windy City were over the moon. Many of them finally enjoyed the feeling of defeating a Wisconsin-based team with Rodgers in attendance.
