Olivia Munn calls out media for connecting her to Aaron Rodgers' struggles
(Warning: This post contains NSFW language)
Actress Olivia Munn sent a series of angry tweets directed at the media, FOX Sports included, after becoming sports blogosphere fodder on Wednesday.
With Aaron Rodgers struggling over the past several weeks, some unintelligent Packers fans have been blaming his longtime girlfriend, Munn, for his woes.
Several websites, including this one, picked up the story. However, Munn feels that just opened the door for more commenters to spew their nonsense on this topic.
If ur going to validate a "fan's" comments about me, please also include if he's a racist. https://t.co/sqyjIUZXfq pic.twitter.com/qvj0afAWq4

The trolls can have their comments, it's not them I'm calling out, it's the journalists. Thanks for the love though ✋? @AveryChamp

It wasn't only so-called "fans" who were blaming Munn for Rodgers' fall-off. An ESPN writer also speculated about Munn's role in Rodgers' recent play. Munn took direct aim at him.
Playing it fast & loose w/the journalism @RobDemovsky. Your professional skills are lacking... you must be having personal problems at home.

The Packers have lost three straight since a 6-0 start. The first two were perfectly excusable -- road losses to then-undefeated Denver and still-undefeated Carolina -- before last week's troubling home loss to the Detroit Lions, who entered the game 1-7. The usually efficient Rodgers threw for just 77 yards in the loss to the Broncos and has completed fewer than 58 percent of his pass attempts in three of the past four weeks.
