So it’s refreshing when a pro athlete like Green Bay Packer quarterback Aaron Rodgers unabashedly states, “I’m an athlete. I’m not an activist.” Rodgers, a Super Bowl winner, three-time Most Valuable Player in the National Football League, and nine-time Pro Bowl selectee, is generally considered one of the greatest quarterbacks of all time. He has also become a polarizing, controversial figure and a target of the totalitarian left precisely because he doesn’t conform to the woke expectations of our heavily-politicized culture.
Last November, Rodgers triggered the left-dominated media after making statements that did not align with the acceptable narrative about COVID-19 and the Biden administration’s (mis)handling of it, such as suggesting – horrors! – that the low-cost, readily available ivermectin was beneficial for people suffering with the virus. Propaganda outlets from the Washington Post to USA Today to Sports Illustrated were quick to slam Rodgers for “mistruths and half-truths,” and for “lying” about his vaccination status (he stated only that he had been “immunized,” which was true).

Non wokeness will cost him ever getting back to Jeopardy.
I don’t think he cares.
Right under the header someone concluded he gives zero f***s.”.
Actual history indicates that young, healthy, male athletes are probably at more risk from the vaccine than from COVID, and theraputic drugs are very effective.
Aaron Rodgers had the audacity and guts to prove it.
It was a courageous stand.
That’s my QB1!!
Aaron Rodgers is a Californian. And he dated Olivia Munn. Not that it matters but I thought he was on the other side (voted blue, not red).
Rodgers is so rich, they can’t do anything to him. I hope he wins the title and spits in their faces.
Didn’t he date Danica Patrick as well?
Ye I think he did.
Under Jed York’s management, the 49ers have become one of the most “woke” teams in the NFL, genuflecting to the establishment left’s views on racial and LGBT issues.
Saturday will be framed as an existential battle between “woke” (Niners) and “unwoke” (Rodgers).
When is Baldwin up? He’d squish her.
I don’t think he cares.
I think he did care, but since Jeopardy has gone down the toilet he won't care much anymore.
I’ve always liked him. Like him even more now.
“It really comes down to, and pardon my French, giving less f**ks,” he asserted bluntly during a recent interview with McAfee. “I think it’s a majority that comes from aging, making mistakes, from failing, to being too sensitive at times… There’s a lot of joy in being unapologetically yourself.”
Gonna be SWEET!
Glad she didn’t work out. Her children would have been too short. In his part of the country he should be able to find a nice tall girl of Swedish heritage or Norwegian. Too bad he’s an atheist.
Yes, but she insisted on doing all the driving when they were out on dates.
No guy likes that....
I’ve suddenly found myself a cheesehead. GO PACK GO!
The author must not have read up on Rodgers' position on BLM and kneeling during the Anthem. He's right on the COVID vaccine issue but wrong on everything else. The guy is a leftist tool and a jerk.
Brett Favre just sent dick pics.
