Since testing positive for COVID, Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers has become the sports media’s favorite piñata since the über un-PC named Atlanta Braves. It is interesting that this topic has not been brought up, considering the fact the team still drinks champagne from its uniforms following the World Series win.
Rodgers has been criticized by the media for not seeking an alternative homeopathic remedy to combat COVID. It is now pillorying him for having the unmitigated gall to have a case of COVID just like the … um, fully vaccinated athletes who’ve come down with it lately.
Rodgers, much to the media’s chagrin, not only went to class when he was a Cal student but learned a few things along the way. This included free-thinking. He brought these skills to the fore when talking to former NFL player and fellow free thinker Pat McAfee on the latter’s podcast earlier this week.
When an athlete is too scared to read or do other things, it kills the media. Rodgers is one of these athletes.
As he explained to McAfee, two of the three available vaccines were immediately off the table due to an allergy Rodgers has against one of the ingredients in the mRNA vaccine variants — information taken directly from the CDC website. This left the Johnson & Johnson vaccine, which, as you will recall, was shelved for a bit due to blood clot issues. For some unfathomable reason, Rodgers decided against chancing Johnson & Johnson. This didn’t leave him with many options, so he consulted with his physician and came up with the aforementioned homeopathic method of building up resistance to the virus.
Rodgers further fanned the media’s self-sparked flames by noting that he took ivermectin as part of his therapy. Never mind that there have been studies stating the drug is a safe and effective method to treat COVID, since obviously those crackpots at the National Center for Biotechnology Information — and, for that matter, the NIH — are going to throw their careers away for the sake of maybe scoring an appearance on “The Joe Rogan Experience” podcast.
Rodgers accurately lumped in their woker than Tho act with the normal variety. This is probably what is driving sports media to the brink.
Rodgers has already provided ample examples of not caring about The Narrative, be it by pushing back against people screaming he shouldn’t troll fans of other teams or actively putting his money where his mouth is by giving his own money to small businesses adversely affected by the COVID Panic Attack
It’s not surprising that the media is bringing down Rodgers. It will be amusing to see how the press lavishes love on Rodgers’ replacement Jordan Love, no matter how he plays tomorrow, because Pulitzer forbid, it should be evident that Rodgers is all that and a bag of chips to the NFL in general — and the Packers in particular.
