Skeleton In Vikings Jersey Hangs By Neck In Wisconsin Halloween Display

WAUKESHA COUNTY, WI — Halloween is a time when residents across the country decorate the front of their homes in spooky displays, replete with spider webs, skeletons, gravestones to embrace the spirit of the holiday. However, one home in Wisconsin is garnering some extra attention for its unusual display.

Waukesha County resident Mike Grass — an avowed Green Bay Packer fan — decked out his home in a pirate-and-skeleton-themed Halloween display. Under a "Titletown USA" Packers banner, Grass' display has three pirate-themed skeletons perched on his second-story balcony. Several other skeletons. dressed in NFL team jerseys including Minnesota Vikings linebacker Anthony Barr, are hung by rope either from their feet or by their necks from a second-story line strung in front of the building.

Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers suffered a broken collarbone after Barr tackled in week five at U.S. Bank Stadium. Barr later said it wasn't his intent to hurt Rodgers.

"By no means was I trying to injure or take out Aaron Rodgers," Barr said at a press conference last week. "He’s one of the best players in this league. I’m not a dirty player. We don’t preach that around here."

According to a CBS 58 report, Grass said he wanted to do something to celebrate the Packers' season and Halloween in one grand gesture.

At least one post on social media has asked the question whether Grass' display was inappropriate, racist or whether it was all in good fun.

"I think in today's society, everybody takes stuff the wrong way," he told CBS 58. "It's easy to do. No, it wasn't mean ill will towards anybody, it was just about the Packers season."
