The constant hatred and back and forth over it really needs to end though.

We know if you're sober you can still get in a wreck. I actually think the different standards for sober and impaired drivers in terms of breath testing, DUI checkpoints, etc... is largely to blame for a lot of these accidents. If you feel at risk, stay sober. If not, it's your life and you're responsible for your own outcome.
Keep comparing vaccines and covid to car crashes and drunk drivers like a good moron. Ruggs and Rodgers are both equally despicable

What are you asking? If I think they are all following all the rules? Of course not.

But the vax status thing is the one rule that virtually guarantees you miss two weeks at least if you test positive. And it was highly publicized. And agreed to by the union.

So it’s not “Man you got Covid you idiot”, it’s “I thought if you got it, you’d be out maybe one week. Plus I thought I could relax around you more cause you have a lower chance of getting it, spreading it, and thus I have a lower chance of getting it. Instead we lose two games, chance at a bye, and it’s a “distraction”.

Other than Rodgers missing games do you really think his teammates give a flying **** about him not getting vaccinated? they're all going out to bars strip clubs etc and going to be around tons of people both vaxxed and unvaxxed. Im sure some are mad he has to miss a game. Some will be mad at him for it, some will be mad at the nfl for it bc they don't think it's a big deal, and a lot probably aren't mad bc they didn't want the vax but unlike Rodgers would be risking their job by not getting it.

Because they're both "personal choices" that somehow manage to keep having an effect on other people yet you refuse to acknowledge it.

Getting a bad tattoo is a personal choice that only impacts you. Asking for your steak well done is a personal choice that only impacts you. Deciding not to discount double check your research and spreading a deadly disease around is absolutely not a personal choice that only impacts you.

It's the moral outrage that people have I disagree with. I also think that while he said a couple of dumb things in this very long interview, he made a ton of good points and was pretty reasonable overall. Both sides on the covid debate have been utterly ridiculous for a long time.

Now if Rodgers claimed he was vaxxed and going around a bunch of old and sick people in hospitals for example without a mask I'd say he's a total piece of ****.
I have zero moral outrage at Rodgers. I know and deal with several people every day that are rabidly anti-vax, including the guy who had the office two doors down from me who has been in the ICU for a month and a half now whose family is asking for PTO donations. I gave a week cause I don’t want him to die even though I think he’s an idiot.
At this point, it’s not worth it to have moral anger. There’s too many people too dug in. I’m looking at it purely at a maximize your chance to have a good season

I do think his teammates ARE justifiably pissed at him for taking the risk - if they knew. Apparently the front office knew. That doesn’t mean his teammates knew. We had to report vax status in an “anonymous” survey at my job, but I don’t know personally what anyone did unless they choose to talk about it. Considering he apparently did an entire PowerPoint presentation about how he thought he was immune and got laughed out of the room, and we never heard a peep about it until now, I’d say they’ve been pretty good about keeping **** under wraps.

If they were going off his media statements, then they thought he was vaxxed and this was probably a shock and they’re even more pissed.

Finally, I think he is deserving of all the mockery in the world for acting like this is some kind of targeted witch hunt. He knew the rules. He chose to not vax. He chose not to say anything at the time and mislead people. Instead of living with the consequences, he’s acting like a victim and comparing himself to MLK.

I'm pretty sure following the protocols for an unvaxxed player around the facility probably tipped them off.

Ahhh yes what was I thinking. I'm glad you cleared it up. Not getting vaccinated is on par with dunk driving. In before double parking is in line with murder

You seem very centered and not at all a by product of a highly polarized and political system working over time to rip its citizens apart

I get it, you live in a country surrounded by fat morons and it must be frustrating

Your carbon foot print from your totally meaningful life is a personal choice that impacts other people. If you've ever emitted co2 or added garbage to a landfill then you, sir, are as bad as ruggs is for burning a young woman alive bc you've made a personal choice that impacts other people. This is how dumb you sound comparing drunk driving with douche bag rodgers

You continue to confuse "culpability" with "severity".

The issue isn't that "drunk driving is the exact same as not wearing a mask!!!!" It's that people continue to insist that not getting vaxxed only impacts the person making that choice. Thats demonstrably false. Just like driving drunk can impact the person you hit, choosing to forego a safe vaccine for whatever nonsense reason ARod is preaching can impact the person he infects

You’re right that 95% of NFL players probably don’t give a **** about COVID, but they all really really care about winning and being on a good team.

At least with Wentz and whoever else they admitted it. If you’re his teammate you can talk to him about it, ask his reasons, take whatever sort of steps you want to respond.
I wouldn't give a **** if I was his teammate. Vast majority of football players don't care about covid.

Were they equally mad at Davante Adams for missing last weeks game? And bringing COVID into the locker room?

I’d be more mad at my veteran QB who’s our franchise QB and supposed to be a leader.

You wouldn’t be more mad and expect more from Rodgers?
11-10-2021 , 05:21 PM
I think we expect to much from athletes like Rodgers. I want them to make smart choices and be role models but that’s just silly. The guy is in his late 30s, been playing football his whole life. How many concussions, how much brain damage has he sustained? Rodgers showed mental health issues before his decision to not get vaccinated and lie about it came out.

I just wish we realized folks like Rodgers shouldn’t be a role models and quite the opposite. I mean it should be like people find out Rodgers isn’t vaccinated and are like, “oh crap I should do the opposite of that guy”.

Even if he is vaxxed he probably wouldn't be able to play anyway though

Exactly, but he would not get the PR hit though. I guess he doesn't care what people think, nor care about his marketing opportunities.

From English Doctor (Ph. D not MD) comparing New Pfizer Drug & Ivermectin.

They work in the same way but with different compounds - enough to get new patent.

I’m really hoping I didn’t scare away Medici and he can provide us more informative posts and supply links to articles from the medical community about how these COVId pills are ivermectin.

Please no 20+ minute videos from right wing news groups. I’m not watching that stuff.


Comprehension really isn’t you’re peoples strong suit.

Really? Isn’t the protocol that only for unvaccinated players that you’re required to isolate for 10 days and likely would’ve been eligible to play had he been vaccinated?

This is also ignoring the fact that he would of been less likely to catch COVId to begin with had he been vaccinated.

+1

Football players don't tend to worry about the same things that the Perpetually Indignant worry about.
