Related: About this forumYes, Aaron Rodgers, I'm canceling you..
https://www.dailykos.com/stories/2021/11/5/2062564/-Yes-Aaron-Rodgers-I-m-canceling-youI grew up in northeast Wisconsin about 40 miles outside of Green Bay. So, naturally, Im a Green Bay Packers fan.
You might say Packers fandom is part of my DNA. So, in a way, anti-vaxxers are right. The vaccineor at least one gormless Green Bay goobers decision to reject ithas changed my DNA, and not in a cool X-Men way or anything. Im not ready to hop oer Big Muddy to become a Minnesota Vikings fan, because that feels like a betrayal, but my green-and-gold glad rags are looking far less lustrous at the moment.
Everyonesimply everyoneis piling on Aaron Rodgers right now. Let me get in line, as I fear we havent stomped his guts out quite thoroughly enough yet.
Ive had it with this pandemic. We all have. So when a remarkable vaccine came out that showed every potential to essentially end itat least in the United Statesthe sense of relief was palpable. Unfortunately, because of people like Rodgers, untold thousands of Americans have died unnecessarily while armchair quarterbacks infectious disease experts have dithered and done their own research.
What a great rant this is. Kind of puts sports in perspective.

Granted, he plays football very well.
Still, he has shown himself to be a dumb jock. It will be interesting to see how the NFL handles his case.

that when someone thinks he is the smartest person in the room...........he never is...
Yes he is a good quarterback, but he is a selfish boob.

Not worth it. Media fail.

Spreading vaccine misinformation is wrong and reckless. It is what Rodgers did Friday. The more right he claimed to be, the more wrong he was. People have died listening to the same kind of nonsense Rodgers spread Friday. And he spread it only to protect himself, his ego and his perpetual belief that the world has wronged Aaron Rodgers.

I hoped he'd have to go to ICU on a ventilator for awhile, recover, and come out as a spokesperson
for the vaccines. Last I heard it was a mild case.
