Why the fuck are these idiots doing this? You get paid millions of dollars, the reason you want to play is the chance - a good one right now - to win another Super Bowl. So you’ve put the season in jeopardy - they will likely make the playoffs, but you want that home field advantage - and not giving 100% toward that goal is insanity. And he’s hurt that. To me, it’s holding your fans in contempt. For what you get paid, you should do EVERYTHING it takes to make it through the season.
I was listening to Shannon Sharpe today and I believe he said it best.
A guy like Kyrie Irving you can disagree with but respect. He is refusing the vaccine is open and honest about it and it is costing him millions.
A guy like Rodgers who indicated ie lied about being vaccinated deserves no respect and should be punished for putting others at risk, especially financial risk.
The NFL has a protocol for players who don't want to get vaccinated. Rodgers didn't follow that protocol he should be suspended a minimum of 3 games.
If he were a backup linebacker he would be cut. But, because he is a star player he will probably only get fined and miss maybe two game checks while he is waiting to be cleared.

If a player is vaccinated and tests positive they can come back as soon as they pass 2 covid tests.
If a player isn't vaccinated they have to quarantine for 10 days then pass 2 tests
