Former NFL coach Mike Holmgren on Saturday criticized President Trumps response to the coronavirus pandemic and threw his support behind Democratic presidential nominee Joe Biden.
At a virtual press conference with Green Bay, Wisc., Mayor Eric Genrich (D), Holmgren said that he will be campaigning for Biden in Wisconsin, a swing state Trump narrowly won in 2016 against former secretary of State Hillary Clinton.
Holmgren coached the Green Bay Packers from 1992 to 1998, leading the team to a Super Bowl victory against the New England Patriots in the 1996 season.
Ive never done this before talked to anybody prior to a campaign...This election is different," Holmgren said. "Its really different than any other election in my lifetime.
During his press conference with the mayor, the former coach talked about the impact the coronavirus has had on the city of Green Bay, and on its football team, the Green Bay Packers. Holmgren slammed President Trump for his pandemic response, saying that curbing the coronavirus earlier could have had positive effects on the Green Bay economy.

The 49ers organization was INCREDIBLY proactive and progressive in regards to minority player relegations let alone being the epicenter of the AIDS crisis. Books have bee written about this organization.
