Aaron Rodgers is not about to let Shooter McGavin get away with the way he treated Happy Gilmore.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback is a big fan of Twitter, and sometimes, he’s quite the comedian. That was evident Wednesday night when Rodgers got into an exchange with Shooter McGavin, the villain in Adam Sandler’s “Happy Gilmore,” who also happens to have a popular parody account on Twitter.
The whole debacle began when the fake account tweeted a scene from the movie at Rodgers, who immediately went on to defend the title character.

How much of a workout could it have been if you got caught by that guy?#alternativefacts #futurechamp #NationalParksWeek https://t.co/HHyNtiULMI

Larson being slow is fake news. The guy should have been in the NFL chasing quarterbacks and not on golf courses chasing innocent golfers https://t.co/aCnuEBQicu

Innocent? You had Gilmore run over in the final round and still couldn't beat him. Also you took out Gilmore's coach Chubbs. #whistleblower https://t.co/Boe4oSxS1H

To insinuate I had anything to do with that minor incident is a joke. Though, I do applaud that fan for confronting Happy in a civil manner. https://t.co/Ec7HSLqHTq

Minor incident? The two bikers in the woods was a minor incident that you used as an excuse for poor play. #CityOfPortlandHatesYou#Comedy https://t.co/AM5qJsrdn8

The exchange went on for another hour somehow, and you can see the rest on Rodgers’ Twitter account. We’re not sure exactly what prompted the Shooter McGavin account to tweet at Rodgers in the first place, but the 33-year-old signal-caller does golf and tweeted about watching the Masters earlier in the month.
Love #Masters week. #Phil @RickieFowler #Langer @ScottPiercyPGA #thatsTheSquad#NationalBurritoDay #InternationalDayofHumanSpaceFlight
