We all have that one person in our lives who simply takes sports fandom a tad too far.
Well, some will say this Green Bay Packers fan who got a tattoo of Aaron Rodgers wearing a jock strap is that person times infinity…
Apparently, the tattoo artist who did the ink and posted the video to Instagram has received a plethora of backlash.
From Alisha Rice’s Instagram:
I’d like to to thank the Internet and the bloggers that brought homophobic football fans and armchair tattoo critiques to my door. I am happy with the results and so is the client. You may not understand why someone would want a hunky football player tattoo, but tattooing is personal. This tattoo is a celebration of identity, home, and team. That’s it! Hate and bigotry are not welcome here.
You aren’t a #GreenBay fan, until you are an #AaronRodgers in a jockstrap pinup tattoo wearing fan. #greenbaypackers #packersfan #greenbayallday #alisharice #thinktanktattoo #instagay #gayjock #buzzfeedstyle #pinupguy #lgbtpride

While it probably seems excessive to many, all we can really say is to each their own…
