1. Does he have CTE or was he always this stupid?

[AZ8theist]

45. I vote stupid. ANYBODY who thinks homeopathy is legit is a moron.....

Kaaron Rodgers new number:

[hlthe2b]

2. Sooooo done with this idiot. I hope the Jets (and every other team) dump him.

[Ocelot II]

3. Got sacked a few times too many? CTE?

[edisdead]

10. Nope always been a dipshit

[ProfessorGAC]

43. Beat Me To It

He has the smart act down, but it's always been an act.

[jls4561]

4. Yeah, it was St Ronnie the Senile's plan to get rid of Rock Hudson.

[rsdsharp]

5. Ronnie Raygun created AIDS? OK, Aaron. You might want to switch helmet brands.

[Initech]

6. Do these morons ever listen to themselves talk?

[Bundbuster]

7. Wow - right over the edge

"I'm no doctor." That's for sure, you fucking Qanon moron. Why don't you keep your shit-filled mouth shut, asshole.

[JT45242]

8. Let's see "Conduct detrimental to the league" applied to this asshat

Seriously... this is supposed to be a smart guy? This is a guy that went to UC Berkeley , one of the most prestigious academic institutions in the world.

If the NFL is truly trying to protect the shield (brand name), then the commissioner needs to bring in this moron because he has some serious explaining to do.

I'll bet that the overwhelming majority of Americans know or are related to someone who has had HIV/AIDS now that the disease has been around for 40 years. That's a lot of potential fans, viewers, customers, that A- Aron done messed up and pissed off.

[Botany]

24. Rogers got into U.C. Berkeley because he could throw a football, he was a transfer from a community college, and he ...

… never got a degree from U.C. Berkeley. I might be wrong but I think he has TBI (traumatic brain injury), the
psycho active drugs he has taken might have done some damage, he thinks he is smart in areas where he knows
nothing, and @ 40 his career is over or just about over. I might be wrong but I look for the Jets to get rid of him
soon besides being an idiot and he has had lots of injuries lately.

[Johonny]

9. He's less grounded in reality than Oliver Stone

I assume Aaron will end up in Russia singing the praises of Putin too. It feels unstoppable now

[MorbidButterflyTat]

36. I think you mean Roger Stone?

[Gore1FL]

50. Oliver Stone is known for his conspiracy theories.

[FHRRK]

11. becoming much more clear

why his Parents and brothers don't talk to him.

[Jim__]

12. If he did his own research, why doesn't he cite the research that shows Fauci was told ...

... to create an environment where there is only one thing that works. If his research taught him that, then there has to be documentation. You can't just look at historical facts and reach a conclusion about what Fauci was told unless you found a document that's telling Fauci to do it. Cite the document.

[Iris]

29. He thinks you should look it up yourself.

If you can't do your own research, he sure as hell isn't gonna help you!

[Raven123]

13. Another good day for Green Bay

Thank goodness he’s gone. Sad for the Jets.

[ExciteBike66]

20. "Sad for the Jets" might as well be the team motto...

[Xavier Breath]

49. It's funny because it's true. n/t

[Blue Owl]

55. Favre had his dick pics scandal/tRump golf outings.... Rodgers has his crazy conspiracy theories...

Let’s hope Jordan Love prevails as the sane one who tops them both!!!

[NickB79]

14. HIV has been isolated from tissue preserved in the 1960's

https://www.livescience.com/oldest-hiv-genome.html#:~:text=The%20tissue%20sample%20was%20taken,in%201976%20in%20the%20DRC.

And genetic research points to it entering humans sometime around 1920 (though some speculate it was in the 1880's):

[maxsolomon]

17. Thanks for those links.

I had High School friends and a teacher that were dead of AIDS really early - '84, '85. I never knew it was actively killing people in Kinshasa prior to WW2.

Rodgers needs to adjust his time frame for this nefarious plot - at least to the '70s. I bet he's got some NIH "Gain of Function" research he's holding up as proof.

[niyad]

37. Thank you for these two informative links. Many years ago, I was

watching some news segment (do not remember where) that talked about two specfic puzzling (at the time) deaths. The first was a young man in Great Britain who, in the 1940's, became very ill, although doctors could not identify what was wrong. His various doctors treated his symptoms as best they could, but could never find the cause. He died in the early 50's, and the doctor who performed the autopsy preserved various samples, hoping that one day, an answer could be found. As the reports on AIDS started coming out, and finally, the test, he remembered the case in the 50's, and tested the samples. Positive for AIDS.

The second was a prostitute working in SF in the late 50's, early 60's. She became ill with symptoms that could not be identified. The doctor who performed her autopsy also oreserved various samples. Again, when the test became available, this doctor remembered the case. Result: Positive for AIDS.

Again, I apologize for not remembering which news segment, only that it wasvsome time around 1993 or 1994, probably on one of the majors. But I ckearlybremember them saying that the vurus that causes AIDS had been in circulation at least since the 1930's.

[SarahD]

15. Another questionable creation.

Aaron Rodgers.

[obamanut2012]

16. AIDs was first seen in the US many years before 1980

And, it was seen in other parts of the world between then and 1980.

He is sick.

[poozwah]

18. erron rogers

the jets have to be regretting their decision to sign this idiot. while he may still be a good QB, he is most certainly a disruptive force in the locker room.

[JanMichael]

19. He is a fucking numbskull. He needs to stfu.

[Sky Jewels]

21. I think this asshole has taken too many blow to the head.

[Bristlecone]

22. He really is this dumb.

[struggle4progress]

23. The US goverment also killed off the dinosaurs with a giant meteor

You can find details on the world wide inner tubes

[AZ8theist]

46. I know, right?? it's just that "THEY" don't want you to know that!!!!!

[Model35mech]

25. Conspiracies occur to secure outcomes of the conspirators

It's on Rodgers to demonstrate that people with known names got together to do the sophisticated work in a biologically secure place, also with a known name, needed to modify a virus acquired from the African bush-meat trade into a killer of humans without first killing the people doing the work.

Anyone can float a wild speculation as reality. Low education level conservatives are -ALWAYS- looking for agents/bad guys because in the mind of low education conservatives REALLY BIG BAD EVENTS don't happen without a purposeful agent!

But you know who usually gets blamed? Nope, you're wrong. IT'S NOT ATHEIST SCIENTISTS.

It's GOD ! ! ! ! ! ! ! !

Because, God is a very jealous irrationally emotional guy who feels HE MUST punish wayward sinning humans for their propensity to be bad. How else could he -properly- parent the creation made in his own image?

[rurallib]

26. This is a guy who could easily be used as an example of why football should be banned

Obvious mental debilitation.

[hatrack]

27. OH FUCK OFF!!!!

[DJ Synikus Makisimus]

28. He would know.

He threw for over 5000 yards in professional American rules rugby (NFL). That qualifies him ask an expert on everything, right?

[bahboo]

30. looking to set up his life after football...

as yet another clueless right wing asshole....

[spanone]

31. I could have sworn he wore a helmet when playing, guess not..

dumbfuck

[WarGamer]

32. I would say its the traumatic brain injuries....

But nah... he's just a jackass.

[GreenWave]

33. That's right Rogers. Each human has around 350,000,000,000,000 viruses in their bodies.

And each one awaits the target specific signal from our all-knowing Big Gummint to activate and not go on injured reserve in two minutes.

[ok_cpu]

34. The team of my youth

Is headed by MAGA ambassador Woody Johnson and this asshole. It's a shame.

[patphil]

35. HIV has been around a lot longer than the 1980's. First verified case in a human was in 1959 in the Belgian Congo.

https://www.ecohealthalliance.org/2017/12/world-aids-day

Of course it was around in chimps long before that.

[moniss]

38. I am so happy for Danica Patrick

that she didn't end up hooked to this nutjob by way of marriage. Glad the relationship ended for whatever reason and by whichever party or both.

[moniss]

39. The Jets could have done the smart thing

and not given him that big contract and instead realized what they could get in the draft this year and then have the money to put good talent around a standout college QB. But there is the smart thing to do and then there are the Jets. They really never occupy the same place in the universe.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

42. The Jets organization destroys QBs

But they gave Rodgers the big contract last off-season. He was gonna be the savior to take them to the Super Bowl in 2023.

Then the Bills shut down his season after 3 or 4 plays into the first game. Now they're stuck with him and his stupid contract. They had no hope for a QB in this year's draft, IMO.

[AZ8theist]

47. It was 4 plays.

$75Million. 4 plays.

Jets paid $18.75 MILLION for each play.

Smart investment.

[MorbidButterflyTat]

54. Smart for Rodgers. I've noticed more than a few NFL players getting "injured" after signing big contracts.

Probably just coincidence.

I saw on NFL Network the Jets General Manager open to trading Zack Wilson. Probably the best thing for him. Then they can draft another QB they'll destroy.

[niyad]

40. who?

[niyad]

41. You know, I remember a study, late 90's/early 2000's, that tracked the

spread of AIDS from Africa to the US through US miliary liberty ports. So, not gays, but military service members patronizing prostitutes helped spread it in this country. I just loved pointing that out when people were gay-bashing about AIDS. The silence that followed always amused me.

Was this study accurate? I never went back to check, but it sure amused me with the little reichwing hysterical homophobes.

[BlueTsunami2018]

44. People have been saying this for decades.

The thing is though, the disease was around before the 80’s so the plot couldn’t have been hatched then.

[Ping Tung]

48. Sounds like he forgot to wear his helmet or inadvertently confused it with his cup.

[sakabatou]

51. Instead of a football helmet, he should don a tinfoil hat

[Kid Berwyn]

52. Disinformation

Confused Thinking is no gameplan for life or history, Aaron Rodgers.

[OAITW r.2.0]

53. Perhaps he's auditioning to be Trump's VP.

That would explain a lot.

[JustAnotherGen]

56. He's a dumb fuck
