Aaron Rodgers has expressed his frustration with his team’s travel arrangements to Ireland, describing them, in a word, as “shite.” The Steelers quarterback was particularly dissatisfied with the timing of the team’s arrival in the Emerald Isle.
The Steelers flew out of Pittsburgh on Thursday night, limiting their time to explore. Rodgers commented, “Good to get out, see some things. It’s a beautiful country, it seems like, from pictures.” Despite the limited sightseeing opportunities, he seemed eager to experience more of the local culture.
Team owner Art Rooney II explained that the travel plans were primarily a football decision. “We’re in the middle of the season, so we had to do what’s best for the football side of things,” he said.
Nevertheless, Rodgers had hoped for more time to enjoy the sights—and perhaps to drink some beer. Throughout the week, he repeatedly expressed his fondness for Guinness, adding on Friday that his appreciation for the iconic Irish stout “is not a bullshit line.”
