(106,372 posts)I know it is hard not to defend one's favorite team sports stars, but really? I hope his putting others at risk (and he's had a habit of intentionally not following NFL rules to mask before interviews) is the proverbial nail in his career.

The I own you just got owned. Again, IMO.
Ive been a Packer fan since I was 5 years old, watching the games with my dad, and thats about 65 years. Met and have Bart Starr and many other real Packer alumnis autographs. Been to Lambeau countless times. Could really give a crap about Mr. Hollywood, never liked him. And neither does anyone in my family or friends.

(28,392 posts)In his interview with Pat McAfee, he claims he got Covid from vaccinated teammates. Most likely, Rodgers got it from folks that agree with him on not getting vaxx'd. He has no basis to make this claim, but it fits with his bias narrative,
He claims to be apolitical, but he sure is playing from the anti-vaxxer/Republican playbook. The "woke/Cancel culture" Republican playbook. He'll probably run for Governor of Wisconsin after his FB career comes to an end. This would surprise me, not in the least.

(53,475 posts)Considering Packers are 17th in NFL for vaccination rate. And based on reports he did not follow safety protocols himself.
Watching Sunday"s game to me indicated the Packers and Chiefs were not taking it seriously.

He's not stupid.
Nick Cordero was a healthy, athletic stage actor who went into a coma, had his leg amputated and died after he became infected with Covid at the beginning of the pandemic. He didn't have the option of getting a preventative vaccine.
The same could happen to Rodgers or any unvaccinated, healthy, athletic athlete. This disease is unpredictable.
Having access to the vaccine and refusing it is just plain foolish.
And kids all over Wisconsin look up to him as a role model. Their role model is a liar.

(7,349 posts)My 7 and 11 year old grandsons see through his bs and wonder why he felt the need to lie.
Hes certainly no role model for them. But theyre not liars and vague bullshit spewers so theres that
..
And Nick Cordero was indeed a tragedy that should have opened peoples eyes. Sadly we know that didnt happen.

(373 posts)To all the medical personnel that have and continue to risk their health treating these anti vaxers Rogers just gave them the finger. My wife is a nurse and this does not sit well with me. I am a longtime Packers fan, but can no longer support Arron Rogers and the Packers Organization.

The media is not pounding him by themselves.
Facebook and Twitter users are ridiculing him.
