Condoning trashing someone along political lines isn't politics? Got it. If you feel that way, be consistent.
You condone the usual suspects lighting up Rodgers over his medical decisions, but anyone mentions the reasons why his choice makes sense and they're the ones getting political? Lol. You're better than that.
You're way overanalyzing this. I honestly don't care about the politics.
I'm condoning trashing someone because:
A) It's Aaron Rodgers
B) Rodgers Thinks He's Above the Rules.
C) If it was Brady - he'd be suspended - Patriots would be fined/lose draft picks.
D) It's Aaron Rodgers
Again, I don't know what you're talking about as far as the text I quoted from you and put in bold. I haven't done anything of the sort, I've simply requested people not go down the road of dragging the usual topics into this discussion.
There's nothing to debate and his choice actually doesn't make any sense. The NFL's protocols are what they are whether you or I agree with them or not. He and all players have the choice not to get vaccinated, which is within their rights. But, that comes with its own set of rules the league has in place and he both lied about it and, according to reports, he hasn't been following their protocols 100% of the time. That's the real issue. These guys are getting paid millions to honor a labor agreement...there is no way around that.
On the big picture, that's obviously a different story, which - again - it's football season and we're not doing that on the football board. I couldn't care less about political affiliations.
Most of you I've known for nearly two decades and that topic never even came up to any real extent until a few years ago when everything blew up. Who you vote for or support doesn't matter to me. Why should it? It doesn't affect me. However, I have an issue with how it affects a football forum and the relationships when we're all supposed to have a common interest because those discussions get ugly and never go well and that's why I don't permit it in football-related threads.
As I said, there's a thread I've essentially left alone in the Pub discussing it. But as far as whatever fight you're looking to draw me into, there's nothing there to argue about.
Whether you believe it or not, other than my disdain for Rodgers, that's the extent of my feelings on the matter. He truly believes he's above everything, and that's where my true motive is. Aside from that, the rest is just noise and something I'm not going to invest any energy in.
I appreciate you at least being honest and voicing your opinion, which I have zero issue with. But if you think I'm hiding anything or being disingenuous, I'm not and I think this has been mentioned in here enough where most people know my stance. And my feelings have been consistent, even though it's tough to be online enough to moderate well enough to make everyone happy
Honestly, I do this to talk football/family and life and take my mind off of work and for the distraction. I didn't set this place up to create a new source of stress to argue with people. So hopefully, all of this makes sense and we're good.
Aside from that, I'm done. We're on to Cleveland
