I was going to say to watch the whole PM interview from today. When he said the "immunized" statement I think he thought it was a clever way of dodging to have to answer the vaccination question. I think he thought more about the media than about the fans. To be fair to him, the media is a bunch of vultures waiting to prey on their next victim. The bigger the name the bigger the feast.
While I get that statement of the media being vultures, he can always decline to answer, which was well within his rights. Him trying to be "cute and clever", to put it nicely, in this situation, didn't do himself any favors. He loves to play the victim. He did it for the draft, he seemed to do it when Love was drafted and he is doing it now.
Like I said. If he has a bad 1st quarter MLF can easily insert Love back in there.
One of the best posts I have ever seen.
That's the thing. To athletes like Rodgers it is not a serious thing. They are well conditioned athletes in the lowest percentage of deaths and most are asymptomatic. These athletes hang out with other professionals that are too in the percentage of people that Covid does not affect. Again, to defend him a bit here, I don't think he thinks it is a serious thing and especially in the world he lives in. Just my take on it.
What if Rod came into the stadium in a wheel chair? that's messed up! Seriously though...
Good luck to you too, Sea. You going to be in shoutbox? Haven't been in there in a long time.
Again, he needs to know his audience and if he doesn't think its serious, he has been in a dark cave for the last 2 years. Anyway, he could have played this out a lot better and he didn't. If he expects the negative attention to just disappear, he guessed wrong.
He was going to get negative attention regardless of what he did. He could have given bricks of gold to impoverished children and would have gotten cancelled because they were too heavy and the kids ended up just throwing them at each other. "Aaron Rodgers is the worst. He gave gold to kids and they didn't know what to do with them". #cancelled
I agree he would have taken flack had he been upfront with everyone back in August. However, when asked if he was vaccinated, I think if he had laid out all the reasons why he isn't, there would have been fewer people angry at him and for a lessor period of time. This time his game backfired in his face and that is probably what a lot of people will remember.
I think a better analogy would be to eat the gold. Had he not eaten the gold people would have been upset that he didn't eat the gold and just wasted valuable minerals. When asked if he ate the gold his response would be, "yeah...i'm pure"
The game is in Green Bay.You took the words right out of my mouth. The only reason Love will start on Sunday is if Rodgers is unavailable due to Covid or travel plans. If he is cleared on Saturday, the team will already be in Seattle, so he will have to travel on his own.
The NFL should inform him on Saturday that his Covid test was positive for no signs of covid or immunization and let him figure out what that means.
Now that's funny!
Do right fielders not throw the ball home in Wisconsin?
Then "COACH" MLF could insert him for the last play of the game for the win.
It is what it is. Love can only control what is his.
Nfl announced that Green Bay is fined 300k for covid enforcement violations, and AR & Lazard each fined $14,650. Future team violations could affect draft picks.
I'd say they got off cheap.
in little league or high school, compared to left and center, right fielders see about as much action as richard simmons gets at the playboy mansion.
true dat, milani!
A finger injury will limit him being mobile?
Have any other teams been fined for COVID violations earlier this season?
