The Green Bay Packers quarterback has been in the hot seat after a Friday interview on the 'Pat McAfee Show' where he admitted he was not vaccinated after contracting the virus.
Transcript
00:00We've got players that pretty much think only about themselves, and I'm extremely disappointed in the actions of Aaron Rodgers.
00:07The Fox NFL Sunday crew took Aaron Rodgers to task over his COVID-19 situation.
00:12The Green Bay Packers star quarterback found out he contracted COVID-19 on Wednesday
00:16and would be ineligible to play Sunday against the Kansas City Chiefs.
00:19The Chiefs ended up beating the Packers 13-7.
00:22But Rodgers has been in the hot seat since a Friday interview with SiriusXM's The Pat McAfee Show,
00:26where he admitted he wasn't vaccinated and defended why that is.
00:30I realize I'm in the crosshairs of the woke mob right now,
00:33so before my final nail gets put in my cancel culture casket.
00:38Back in August, the 37-year-old told reporters during a press conference that he was, quote, immunized.
00:43According to his Friday interview, Rodgers says there was a, quote,
00:46long-term immunization protocol he was using to protect himself from COVID-19.
00:51As Terry Bradshaw pointed out on Sunday, Rodgers still contracted COVID-19.
00:55Jimmy Johnson had this to say about Rodgers on Sunday.
00:58I'm disappointed in his play on words for his explanation.
01:02I'm disappointed in some of his selfish actions.
01:05Howie Long noted that he agreed with Rodgers' stance on medical privacy, but within reason.
01:10But it ceases to be a personal decision when you take part in being part of a football team
01:15in a building with coaches, players, trainers.
01:19Long went on to talk about the Packers' success so far this season and say this.
01:23Putting all of that in jeopardy and possibly putting your teammates in jeopardy, to me, is selfish.
01:28But Bradshaw was by far the harshest, making this comment, noting the crew's location.
01:33It would have been nice if he'd have just come to the Naval Academy and learned how to be honest.
01:38Yeah.
01:41Learn not to lie.
01:43Bradshaw continued, because that's what you did, Aaron.
01:46You lied to everyone.
