Everyone’s A Winner! NFL To Donate Unused Championship Merchandise From Losing Team To Aaron Rodgers

While professional football is filled with positive messages of teamwork and endurance, one unfortunate drawback is that not everyone can be a champion. The losers walk away feeling less special than their counterparts on the winning team. It’s a soul-crushing feeling, which is why the league has agreed to provide Aaron Rodgers, a man in desperate need of feeling like a winner, with the merchandise that would have gone to the Super Bowl-losing team. 

Partnering with local charities in the Green Bay area, the NFL will distribute hundreds of boxes of apparel, including t-shirts, sweatshirts, and fitted hats, to championship-deprived players like Rogers.

“I know winters can get cold and that there are people out there that are in need of extra clothing to stay warm. We hope to keep Aaron warm on the inside by letting him have some of these hooded sweatshirts that were for the losing squad,” said NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy.

In past years the league would send these defunct merchandise pieces to impoverished franchises where shortages in basic necessities, such as starting quarterbacks and food, was a prevailing theme. However, this year they took on an initiative to help a more disadvantaged person who constantly comes up short on the big stage. 

“The anguish of losing when everyone is watching can gnaw on your stomach for weeks,” said Rodgers. “I’m sure not eating food for months can induce a similar feeling, but for the league to look out for me and make me feel like a winner is really gonna help me through the scarcity that plagues my life, and that’s championships.”
