Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers is none too delighted about being outed as unvaccinated, according to a report from Pro Football Talk.
According to PFT’s Mike Florio:
Per a league source (the very same one who tried to inform [Florio] on October 5 that Rodgers wasn’t vaccinated), Rodgers is “furious” over the truth that his true status was dripped. Provided his tendency to grumble about the way in which he’s dealt with by the media, it’s safe to question whether he’ll grumble about the fact that NFL Media reported his status, in spite of his clear desire to hide it– and his capability to do it for weeks.
On Wednesday, it was discovered that Rodgers checked positive for the coronavirus. Over the summer, Rodgers had told press reporters that he was “immunized.” Though, suspicions were raised after Rodgers went into the procedure for unvaccinated players after his positive test.
Ever since, NFL and sports media characters have blasted Rodgers as a “liar” for claiming he was “inoculated.”
