Sunday Night Football: Packers LB Quay Walker goes viral after throwing a tantrum and pushing a trainer
The Green Bay Packers had a difficult evening on Sunday Night Football, falling to the Detroit Lions 20-16 and missing the playoffs, setting off a chain reaction of speculation over the direction of the team, and future Hall of Fame Quarterback, Aaron Rodgers.
But first we have to talk about Packers linebacker Quay Walker.
Walker embarrassed the Green Bay Packers organization and it’s fandom by first pushing a trainer from the Lions as he was trying to administer aid to a hurt player, and then throwing what appeared to be a tantrum after getting ejected. Walker can be seen in the footage crying as he walked down the tunnel and flailing his arms. Its unclear if he was under any kind of emotional duress or just very upset.
Twitter was waiting for him…

Quay Walker you should be removed immediately from the packers you single handedly made sure that aaron rodgers and the packers missed what could possibly be his last ever game in green bay, if not his career, stupid to push someone who is out to protect players like you pic.twitter.com/uL4aGYf0h8

Quay Walker has now shoved a member of the #Lions Training Staff and a member of the #Bills Coaching Staff this season.
This guy is a joke.

Packers Head Coach Matt LaFleur has since spoke out against Walker’s actions. This is the second time he has been ejected this season. He previously pushed a member of the Buffalo Bills staff. The same staff that has been credited with helping save Damar Hamlin’s life earlier this week.
