Aaron Rodgers, the NFL’s star quarterback, faced widespread criticism after it was revealed that he did not receive the Covid-19 vaccine and instead relied on alternative Covid-19 treatments such as Ivermectin.
Rodgers went from being a beloved NFL quarterback to being vilified by liberal viewers and sports pundits as a result of the news.
While Rodgers has been forthright about his views on the Covid-19 vaccine and the response to Covid-19, he has remained silent on his political affiliations.
When it was revealed that Rodgers was unvaccinated, he stated that the right would ‘champion him,’ while the left would ‘cancel him,’ but he refused to side with either.
Rodgers elaborated on his decision not to receive the vaccine in a newly released interview with Pat McAfee and spoke out on other issues such as woke culture in the United States.
FOX News Reports:
Aaron Rodgers made headlines last year when it became known he is unvaccinated against COVID-19.
The four-time NFL MVP said he was “immunized” against the virus, so many assumed he was vaccinated.
He wasn’t.
An NFL MVP voter even said he would not vote for Rodgers last year over the issue.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback says his stance on COVID vaccines has put a target on his back.
“There’s heroes and villains in sports and entertainment, and I think, because of my stance on COVID and maybe some other things, I’ve been cast as the villain. Especially the last few years,” Rodgers said on “The Pat McAfee Show.”
“And so, that is the way that a lot of things I say are often interpreted.”
Rodgers said he does not feel like a victim, nor is he upset about how people interpret what he says.
