Their Voices Were Heard
Poppinga gets paid
The shareholders of the Green Bay Packers came together yesterday at Lambeau Field and let their voices be heard, and from most accounts a majority of those in attendance expressed their approval of Brady Poppinga’s new contract extention. There were a few hecklers and some booing, but overall the crowd of 9,300 supported general manager Ted Thompson’s decision to give the linebacker a new five-year deal worth about $17 million.
President and CEO Mark Murphy said to reporters afterward, “In terms of the decision, I think we are trying to do what’s right. What I see the organization’s goal is is to turn it into a positive … But that’s easier said than done.”
