I lost respect for rodgers when he spoke up against vaccines. I am glad he is gone from the Packers.

Disappointed he took a cheap shot vs me this wk. In 2021 during our awful delta wave we were losing 2,000 Americans/day, >80% among unvaccinated, when vaccines were 90% protective vs death/serious illness, I criticized him for his public antivaccine stance

Aaron Rodgers is apparently up for the debate, or at least up for listening to it.

Using his Instagram account (@aaronrodgers12), the future Hall-of-Fame quarterback hinted that he would like to see foils Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and Dr. Peter Hotez exchange ideas during an episode of the Joe Rogan Experience podcast.

Early on June 20, Rodgers, who was a featured JRE guest last summer, shared an Instagram "reel" that showed Hotez admitting to unhealthy eating habits during a prior appearance on Rogan's show. The shared post contained a text overlay that read "@robertfkennedyjr would mop this bum." ..........................

3. Bret Favre without the dick pics.... So far.

I loved Aaron. Never loved Farve. But both turned out alike.

4. Glad he is gone from the Packers too.

Doubt the Jets will benefit much.

5. Increasing his celebrity by being an asshole.

Football isn't the only thing he is a good at.

6. I'm with you. I also lost respect for the Packers letting him get away with antivax BS.

I haven't watched a game since. Truthfully, it hurts as a Sconnie, but I'm not sure I will ever watch a game again. They spent their entire existence talking up how they are all about the fans. They they let some idiot player decide they don't want to do SCIENCE to protect the rest of the team and their staff as if that's okay. Hell no. Not okay with me.

Packers had a chance to be the bigger, better team and they blew it. They're just like everyone else. Locally owned is just a cover.

I stood in their stadium 4 years ago and accepted a grant for a local non-profit I'm on the board of directors of. It's difficult to underestimate how traitorous to the rest of their employees their behavior with Rodgers feels to me.

It's probably my fault, though. I actually bought a Rodgers jersey the year before. Threw it out just like I did with the Chmura jersey I bought. The only Packers jerseys I've ever bought turned out to represent shitheads.
