Aaron Rodgers positive for COVID (update: “furious” status leaked, claims he didn’t lie, attacks NFL protocols)

[Tottie]

Seems like some people should have double-checked Aaron Rodgers vaccination status

If the NFL does its job it will now be reviewing footage from inside the packers facility from the start of the season.

This ^

The over the top ball washing of Mahomes and Rodgers…one guy playing like a ****ty journeyman and embarrassing himself and the other guy out after lying about his vax status.

Wait if he wasn't vaccinated, shouldn't he been ruled out vs the Cardinals then since he was close contact with Davante???

Close contact is based on the location trackers players are required to wear. If that was fudged, someone there, either him or a staff member, is hosed.

You realize you can still get the disease if you are vaccinated, right?

********, dude. This isn’t about his vax decision; that’s an entirely separate issue. If he’s been given a totally different set of rules, and the Packers have allowed him to violate protocols, while the rest of the league’s unvaxed players have been forced to wear masks, travel separately get tested frequently, that’s a huge deal. And it was just pointed out that if this has been a lie, perhaps he shouldn’t have been eligible to play against the Cardinals in a game with big implications, since the close contact rules for unvaxed players are different. How is this not a gigantic deal and competitive advantage when 31 other teams must adhere to the protocols, like them or not.

Yes. What’s your point?

 

[Bonzo]

Honestly. Who is more annoying than this guy?

 

[jah]

This league is so about Reid and the Chefs. Season on the line and they suspend Rodgers. Utter BS. Guy was vaccinated. Now because of Park Ave he is out and the Chefs can get back into the mix. Such utter BS

He was vaccinated, eh?

This is ironically going to turn a lot of former Rodgers haters into Rodgers apologists.

 

[PATSYLICIOUS]

Ugh that sucks, the one game I actually want gb to win

 

[Guts]

Holy crap…you may be right.

Twitter blowing up right now with stories/photos of multiple protocol violations.

Yeah I'm not entirely sure how it all works. A fellow poster did say they have trackers and stuff so they would've detected it...but who knows.

From football fans point: Another asterisk is born!

From the NFL point: Found another issue to deflect from our own!

 

[moosekill]

Yes. What’s your point?

The statement said he had Covid. Two reporters said he wasn't vaccinated. His statement said he was immunized. I am not sure what proof the reporters have that he wasn't vaccinated.

 

[RobertWeathers]

So AR didn't lie. He is immunized from bordatella, distemper and heartworm.

Multiple reports, and the fact that he is OUT for Sunday. If he were vaccinated, then he could still get two negative tests within 24 hours before Sunday. He’s now confirmed unvaxed, per the NFL, and he can’t even return until next Saturday (11/13.)

 

[amfootball]

So Love? Awesome. He can beat the Chiefs. LOL

This should be the focus as it pertains to the NFL. I have plenty of thoughts about all the vax stuff, but it's not particularly relevant to competitive advantage. After the BS Brady suspension, I'm not inclined to be charitable toward other teams or individuals who break rules, regardless of my personal feelings about the nature of those rules.

And vice versa.

I’m for choice when it comes to the vaccine in general, but the players are putting their team in a tight spot when they decide not to get it.
