"The 1969 NFL champion, 1971 MVP and five-time First-Team All-Pro was not present for the ICE protests, but he says he understands why social unrest and outrage is filling the city.

“People are in the streets because they are frustrated, in my opinion,” Page said following the recent shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good. “And they are frustrated because of this gratuitous violence that isn’t necessary to accomplish whatever the stated goal may be.

Page served as a Minnesota supreme court judge for more than 20 years. He has long been a critic of President Donald Trump but did visit the White House in 2018 to receive the prestigious Presidential Medal of Freedom award. The 80-year-old Alan Page hopes there are better days ahead in his beloved Minnesota.
