Aaron Rodgers is one of the most popular NFL players. Rodgers lying about his vaccination status had set a bad example for the league. Due to it, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar was very upset with Rodgers.
In an article, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote, “What’s especially bothersome is that Aaron Rodgers didn’t just lie and threaten the health of those around him, he also damaged professional sports.” He added, “Rodgers’ ignorance regarding the science of immunology brings back to life the old stereotype of the big dumb jock. His utter lack of even the most basic knowledge and logic is shocking… Rodgers complained that the “cancel culture” was coming for him, but his own words cancel him as a liar and a bad thinker.”
Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers speaks out about his COVID vaccine controversy:
