Please are we about done with Aaron Rodgers??? I mean seriously how many threads???

[a kennedy]

I know, I know, I know, but it has all been said right?? Or are we waiting for Joe Biden to chime in??? Thanks.

1. He just lost a major sponsor which is extremely noteworthy given it's a health care company he's

worked with since 2012.

This is a big story and continuing to develop given his influence on so many.

I am not even an NFL fan, but I know how serious his idiotic stance is to kids, teens, and adult fans that will listen to him.

Your best bet is to go into your account tab, click on "trash can" and select several keywords to hide. This is the very reason Elad programmed this function so I'd take advantage of it, if this really bothers you.

[Yonnie3]

2. Aaron who?

Fill me in!










Just kidding

[Poiuyt]

3. One more, apparently.

[Bengus81]

4. Don't read them if it bothers you.......

POOF...crisis over.

[a kennedy]

6. Well let me know when he's off the radar here on DU then ok?? 🙂

[USALiberal]

25. I guess you do not know how to hide a post???

[11 Bravo]

47. When you deem him sufficiently off the radar, will you post about it to let us know?

[Paladin]

5. And deprive me of another chance to call him an arrogant, lying, toxic asshole?

Perish the thought...

[msongs]

7. he belongs in the entertainment groups not general chat IMO nt

[a kennedy]

10. Or sports, not here.

[hlthe2b]

17. No. The primary issue is on COVID-19 containment and his detrimental impact on fans, kids, others

That is clearly GD territory just as when we discuss any other public figure making consequential statements that impact our response.

If we were merely talking about him as a sports celebrity, I'd agree--sports or lounge or elsewhere. But that isn't the key issue in these posts.

[USALiberal]

27. +1000!!

[BlackSkimmer]

30. I didn't see this many threads about LeBron and his vaccine stance. Or even Kyrie.

I personally don’t give a rat’s ass about these sport “celebrities” but there does seem to be some picking and choosing on who gets the ire of DU. Smh.

[hlthe2b]

31. There were. And for all those complaining all you have to do is use the "hide keyword" function.

I merely point out that these posts are within the DU guidelines for GD content. Elad thankfully provided a solution if those bothered will only use it.

[BlackSkimmer]

39. I just ignore threads I don't have interest in. Post all you want about this fool.

I find some of the posts on these threads kind of amusing. One DUer even finds Rodgers “intelligent.” Others scramble to explain how they never liked him EVAH, despite wanting him to host Jeopardy. Quite funny to read.

But there were not nearly as many threads about LeBron and Kyrie. I don’t think I saw even one about Cam Newton, and he was quite vocal about his vaccine idiocy.

[rictofen]

52. Imagine how many threads there would be if...

Aaron Rodgers compared Hillary Clinton to Trump and said he wasn't going to be voting.

[USALiberal]

26. Lol, Then alert it or quit whining

[boston bean]

8. He is a major POS.

[Bleacher Creature]

14. Yep, and incredibly dangerous.

People need to hear or read about this what he said because we're talking Newsmax levels of antivax misinformation.

Here's a good start:

21. Don't hold back, NY Daily News!

[GusBob]

18. Out of curiosity I must ask

Are you aware of his outspoken positions regarding BLM, kneeling NFL players and social justice issues after the Jacob Blake shooting? He is also part owner of the Milwaukee Bucks the first NBA team to boycott a game after the shooting and he supported them 100% . He was hated by Trumpers for that

I agree his position on the vax is wrong and even though I have never been a huge fan of his for things he has done regarding the team, I don’t think he is a POS.

His GM this off season described him perfectly: he is a complicated guy

[boston bean]

20. He certainly doesn't seem to care for others he is around.

So, yeah. He is a major POS.

[GusBob]

35. Fascinating

I must also ask, with all due respect, are you aware that as an NFL player that chose not to be vaccinated, which the NFL does allow, that he has been tested every day of the season for COVID?

He has also tested negative since his positive

He may have caught the vid from his receivers Davante Adams and MVS who tested positive and were sidelined last week. Would you claim those young men also don’t seem to care about the people around them?

[boston bean]

37. Were they vaxed?

[GusBob]

41. I don't know, do you?

I haven’t seen anything in the press about it

[boston bean]

42. Nope. I know Rodgers wasn't.

If they weren’t vaxed either and lied about being “immunized”, yes they are POS as well. If they were vaxed I feel differently.

[GusBob]

56. I was wrong, it was not MVS

It was Lazard and he was not vaxxed, and may have given it to his fellow receiver Adams
They tested positive and were in quarantine protocol at the same time.

[xmas74]

54. I believe Davante was vaxxed

I remember them saying he might be able to report back early if he had 2 negatives in 4 days or something like that. This is only allowed if they are vaxxed.

[GusBob]

57. Lazard was not vaxxed

He may very well have infected Adams

Not a big deal I guess nobody raged about it

[xmas74]

58. They're back tracking now

With Lazard also getting a fine.

I knew man Adams would be vaxxed. He's a responsible person who cares about his team.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

28. Yes, these are good things and before this vax status issue came out I thought well of him.

But the bottom line is he lied about his vax status and he endangered others.

He deserves to be suspended and he will be. How long remains to be seen.

No way Roger Goodell is going to let this slide.

[GusBob]

34. He will most likely be fined if that

The NFL can’t suspend him

[BlackSkimmer]

40. No, he believes Joe Rogan for vax advice.

Nothing complicated about that. He’s a moron.

[Iggo]

9. If you can handle missing threads about other people named Rodgers...

...Auto-trash by keyword: Rodgers.

[Bleacher Creature]

11. He has a huge platform and has made some unbelievably dangerous statements.

If you read about his interview yesterday, it's a collection of all the greatest hits from the antivax movement.

I get what you're saying, but it's a big deal and has to be countered.

[PXR-5]

12. Me stupid

😆

I had to Google Aaron Rogers.

[mitch96]

13. +1

Like nuclear energy papers, daily "my cat did this" stories and national whatever days.. I just ignor and move on... YMMV

[Tetrachloride]

15. Johnny Unitas was better than Bart Starr.

[Prof. Toru Tanaka]

29. I think Starr himself would have agreed. Starr was a no doubt about it HOFer, though.

He was also the NFL's MVP in 1966.

Growing up a Baltimore Colt fan, I thought Unitas was the all-time best QB. Later, I switched my GOAT QB vote to Joe Montana.

[GusBob]

36. JU was a better QB as an athlete

Starr was a better QB as a field general type

What I mean is JU made plays happen on the field from his athletic ability and guts

Starr made them happen in the huddle. For example, he called all the plays of the winning drive of the Ice Bowl.

For all his legend Lombardi as a coach during a game was mostly a cheerleader. Starr called the shots

[CJW]

16. Aaron Rodgers

I didn't even know who he was a week ago. Be happy to go back to then.

[GusBob]

19. Time for some Love I reckon

After many years of being absent I had to check in with a certain Packers forum you might be familiar with
Everyone hates the guy

Love seems to be getting a lot of support from his teammates

[Tetrachloride]

22. Most of the old hate may be from magats

[SMC22307]

23. Why not use the tools available to you and block OPs mentioning Aaron Rodgers.

[USALiberal]

24. Research a "discussion board"

[Shermann]

32. If Aaron's going to whine about the "woke mob", then let's make it so nt

[tenderfoot]

33. Type "Aaron Rodgers" in the trash can section

Problem solve.

[Efilroft Sul]

38. He's the kudzu of football players.

[48656c6c6f20]

43. Well I think it's worth at least 753000 threads

[womanofthehills]

48. Yea - the world needs to all gang up on one man

And they want him in the hospital too. Unfortunately, folks he was only sick for one day.

[48656c6c6f20]

51. Oh noes poor Aaroneus Rodgers

He's being picked on. That's so sad, I hope he doesn't cry to much into his millions as he has a sad.

[Tribetime]

44. Didn't you post how the Packers kicked Arizona's ass

[Tetrachloride]

45. we are in a new dimension

[RFCalifornia]

46. I say keep it going. He needs to be made an example nt

[Cha]

49. I just googled him..

didn't know who the hell he is.

[Sympthsical]

50. An NFL player burned a young woman alive last week

I think there was half a thread about it.

Priorities.

[LakeArenal]

53. Over reaction is a thing.

He’s done good shit. He’s done bad shit.

Turns another Idol has clay feet. Shocking.

He’s still one hell of a qb and just like Farve the NFL will keep him around as long as possible. I’m sure NFL knew he isn’t vaxed.

[LetMyPeopleVote]

55. Can we discuss Dr. Joe Rogan?
