9. Here's a recent statement from Rodgers.

""When the president of the United States says, 'This is a pandemic of the unvaccinated,' it's because him and his constituents, which, I don't know how there are any if you watch any of his attempts at public speaking, but I guess he got 81 million votes," Rodgers opined.

I just assumed he was a trumper. I could be wrong but that statement is out there.

I really don't think he supported Trump in any way. But apparently he thinks Biden telling him to get vaccinated is some sort of insult he needs to fight.

and rape in the Democratic Republic of Congo. Rodgers was the main speaker, and during his talk he mentioned speaking with Russ Feingold about the issue. At the time Feingold was Special Envoy to the Great Lakes region of Africa.

That's generally thought of as a liberal issue.

Rodgers is not racist. He has avoided taking partisan stands on Wisconsin elections, but he generally has seemed liberal.

The stuff he's said in the last year is surprising to me and its inconsistent with the impression he made in the past. He's definitely anti-vax, but I don't think that means he is a right-winger.

He's very arrogant, and having the President of the United States tell him to get vaccinated probably infuriated him. So he lashed out.

Now he's getting covid advice from Joe Rogan and insinuating that Biden didn't win the election.

Not good.

was famous three or four years ago when he made it to the b-ball hall of fame. It was all over the internet and social media. So putting the crying Jordan face together with Rodgers' number 12 Packer's jersey and the Packer fan chesshead thingy...sports fans will get it.

Of course, as a Detroit sports fan, I pretty much tend to ignore Michael Jordan anyway.

he just lost unexpectedly, remember, his number 12 Packers' jersey, and the Packers cheese head thingy.

To me it's hilarious. He keeps being favored to win the Super Bowl but can't get there, and has only won one while many say he's even more talented than Brady, who's won seven.

avid sports fans would too. It's hilarious to me as it makes great fun of loser/anti-vaxxer/anti-Biden Aaron Rodgers.

Did I say loser Rodgers? If not, it bares repeating. Loser Rodgers.
