This morning, Kaitlyn Collins, the Green Bay Packers cheerleader who has made national and international news this past week, appeared on the Today show this morning, Monday, Feb. 11.
On the show, Kaitlin talked about how her photo landed on an unofficial Chicago Bears Fan Facebook page and how cyberbullying has affected her. She talked about how young people already struggle with body image and how her picture and the comments that “ridiculed” her was “very hurtful.”
Kaitlyn’s video, which has more than 850,000 views, was effective in shedding light on the issue of cyberbullying and she has received a tremendous amount of support from many, including Bears fans who saw the Facebook post as offensive.
The site has since removed the original post.

On a more positive note, former Packers receiver Donald Driver also tweeted this morning that he will appear on ABC’s Good Morning America Tuesday, Feb. 12.

I am an award-winning journalist and photographer and have been editor of two weekly newspapers in northern Wisconsin for the past 23 years.
My love of the Green Bay Packers moved me to write columns for select websites in the mid- to late-1990s under the pen name of Apackphan. The opportunity to continue with lombardiave.com under that same pen name has been rewarding. Getting back into blogging has allowed me to renew the love of a team I have followed since I was a young boy.
