The Wisconsin Interscholastic Athletic Association recently banned any chanting at high school sporting events, everything from bigoted slurs to "U-S-A U-S-A."

We're not sure how you'd even enforce such a rule, but it seems like a pretty broad swipe at the First Amendment.

Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers agrees, though he draws the line at attacks on sexual and racial minorities.

"I don't agree with any type of racist or homophobic language, any of that type of stuff from the crowd to the people on the field," Rodgers, who is the frequent subject of gay rumors, told ESPN's Jason Wilde.

"But ‘scoreboard' and ‘air ball' and ‘fundamentals'—which is a great chant?"

Outsports called Rodgers' statement "a great step forward" from the past, when the athlete distanced himself from any connection to the LGBT community. (Rodgers has been linked romantically to Taylor Swift and, more recently Olivia Munn.)

"[He's] acknowledging the damage that can be done to young gay kids by hearing so many people chant epithets and other anti-gay language," writes Cyd Zeigler.

The Wisconsin ruling notwithstanding, homophobic slurs remain an issue in pro sporting events. FIFA recently fined five Latin American countries because fans shouted anti-gay chants during home games.
