Lambeau Field was the site of an international soccer match between FC Bayern Munich and Manchester City. Many Green Bay Packers players were in attendance, including Aaron Rodgers and AJ Dillon. After the game, Rodgers took part in a star-studded jersey swap. During the game, though, AJ Dillon was harassed by a Green Bay Police Officer who was on the sidelines as extra security.

As can be seen in the video, AJ Dillon was down on the sidelines high-fiving fans and getting the crowd amped up. As Dillon prepares to get a Lambeau Leap, an officer grabs him by the back of shirt near his neck and pulls him backwards. After Dillon chats with him for a brief moment, the officer then shoves him away.
Dillon shook off the exchange and commenced with his leap into the stands.
AJ Dillon Took the High Road on Twitter
Just by looking at the video, one could not have blamed Dillon if he had thrown a fit or reacted in any way against the officer. After all, AJ Dillon is very recognizable and obviously was not doing anything wrong. The way the officer treated him was unprofessional and unnecessary. Dillon, though, has taken the high road.
Two security told me and helped me come down to the field during the 30 minute rain delay, so I could do a lambeau leap and hype up the crowd… I’m assuming he missed them telling me to come down. https://t.co/fxbKKtfhUW

I’ll say this much: AJ Dillon is a saint for reacting this way. He had permission to be on the field. More than that, he was ASKED to get down on the field to hype up the crowd.
The way the officer laid hands on him was inexcusable. I hope Dillon gets an apology.
