Aaron Rodgers, Green Bay Packers quarterback has become one of pro-sports’ greatest villains. This week, he was bitten by the covid and it turned out that he had never been vaccinated. Thus, sneering sports mandarins like Nancy Armour cast him out into the darkness as “anti-science.”
It won’t help that Rodgers isn’t contrite. In fact, he’s fighting back. Appearing on the Pat McAfee Show, the sidelined (for the week) superstar said, “I realize I’m in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now,” and he wanted to address some of the issues about him and the vaccine, “before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket.”
Sounds like a guy who knows exactly what’s going on. He called the hysteria around athletes’ reluctance to get vaccinated “a witch hunt..” He also pointed out that “Every member of the left” was anti-vaccine until Joe Biden took office. And he’s right. Many examples are available.
F lefties expressed reluctance of taking any drugs developed under the Trump Administration. Shouldn’t you take a moment to ponder this and then say, “Isn’t it about your health?” He demanded.
“I’m not an anti-vax, flat-earther,” he said, explaining that he had allergies to two of the available shots. According to him, the whole Packers knew of his situation and believed he had contracted the disease from an unvaccinated player.
But it won’t matter. Like he said, he’s in the crosshairs.
