The lie is the big problem. If he would have had the balls to just say he's anti-vaxx and took the heat I don't think Packers nation would have been nearly as outraged. After his holdout he probably didn't want to piss more people off so he took the cowards way.

I'll always have an immense amount of respect for Rodgers on field abilities, but as a person his character is a huge red flag. What a narcissist.

Only throwing that out there because Aaron doesn't consider himself as one. If you paid close attention to his words, though, it's hard not to come away thinking he has some personal anti-vax leanings -- kept talking about his "medical team" comprised of "medical individuals" and "medical professionals". In fact, the only time Aaron referenced "doctor" is when referring to the NFL's main doctor in connection with NFL's determination of COVID vaccination status.

Aaron has to protect himself from being called a liar. But it's interesting that his speech today on Pat McAfee's show that this is all about public perception, and has nothing to do with mitigating possible fines and or punishment imposable on him from the NFL. In other words, this is all damage control from a PR perspective; hopefully it works to sooth some NFL owner enough so that they trade a boatload of picks this off-season when the Packers move on from him.

I don't believe a word he says any more.
