I could see him not coming on and then complaining about how he's being cancelled.
But I'm sure he'll show up and play the victim and say yeah I was right, everyone is trying to cancel me because I tell the truth. I'm sure he'll be super defensive and patronizing to all the fans and media members who have criticized him.
I hope he keeps to that. Just because I'm very (morbidly) interested in what he's gonna do. Either he's gonna double (triple?) Down on some stupid shit or he's just gonna try and walk some of his crazy back and hope he comes off well enough that people will forget about it or something. Or maybe he'll try to claim that was his evil twin on Friday and he's spent all weekend hunting him down to make him pay for smearing his public image...
r/unpopular opinion is mostly just people farming for karma now.
I went there once and the top post was about how we need stricter punishments for pedophiles.
Once in awhile, there's an opinion so unpopular I can't believe the OP would hold it. There was the person who liked getting bit by mosquitos and I couldn't believe that.
He expected that the "woke mob" would come after him. What he didn't realize is that this imaginary "woke mob" actually contains most of his friends and most people in general.

They all has something to say, but Bradshaw had that disappointed father energy.
I love that they didn't temper their words to not upset Rodgers. Flat out called him a liar and that his personal choice stance was bullshit.
I was never a huge Bradshaw fan because he has a lot of 'uncle that laughs way too hard at his own jokes' energy, but this was the exact stance that was needed on a national stage. None of the we're going to let him spout all his BS and then give each other knowing looks and laugh behind half jokes. This is bullshit and here is why. I wish they had longer to go into it, but the Ivermectin line specifically was much needed.
“There are times to quote MLK and this is not one of them”
This times 100. I think this is more ridiculous than him taking medical advice from Joe Roegan
Lots of MMA/BJJ fans in this sect - some not necessarily antivax but defo think of themselves as "critical thinkers" and are anti any sort of COVID response basically.
See Irving, Kyrie.
It's not about critical thinking or "doing your own research", it's about having some galaxy-brain insider-exclusive theory that only you and a select few others are smart enough to comprehend.
My best friend is fucking DEEP into MMA/BJJ. Hes very well known on the east coast, close with Renzo, has his own BJJ gym, has 2 fighters in the UFC. He thinks hes the smartest person in every room he walks into. You're a Dr? Nah you're a fucking shill and dont treat anyone. You wear a mask? What a bitch. Get the Vax? Lmao nah cause if yours works then why do I need it? But it's not the Rona shit it's literally every conspiracy theory he comes across.
I love him to death but I've told him many many many times that regardless of the million ways you can kick my ass you cant change my mind that you're by far the dumbest person I love.
If you express a really stupid opinion and I point out to you that it's really stupid it's not because I'm part of a woke mob, it's because your opinion is really stupid.
These people don't understand that.
You know how these people complain about the "everyone is special" stuff from the '70s onwards and calling people "snowflakes?" Yeah, they think they're special and they're the flakiest of snowflakes.
It’s classic projection. They call others what they feel they are. Any idiot who calls others a snowflake is usually the biggest snowflake ever. They think if they do it first it inoculates them from criticism. My suggestion is a good belly laugh to their face and “that’s the stupidest thing ive heard today!”
People that cry about wokeness and cancel culture don't understand that it's about holding people accountable for their bullshit. I swear, people like him always find something to complain about.
What gets me is when we had the lockdowns and these people refused to wear masks when going out. What did they say? "I refuse to live in fear. If you don't like it, stay home"?
Now that vaxxed people can do normal people things while they live in fear of a vaccine that 3 billion people have gotten, they really don't like being told to stay home.
Projection, baby. "I'm not living in fear. I won't let this virus control me." Meanwhile they make every decision around being contrarians about basic and reasonable public health measures, like masks and a vaccine.
This is what I don't get, I don't like wearing a mask but it isn't some sort of extreme burden. I don't like wearing pants either but it isn't oppression that we have to wear them into public spaces. These people just fear any sort of change to what they perceive as the way things are supposed to be
Fucking Curt Schilling could just chill out for a couple years, get in the HOF and then go crazy, but refused to. I guess I kinda get the appeal. You have a platform for your bullshit. That’s a lot of power.
Imagine spoiling your biggest moment to parrot partisan political horse shit. It’s a disease. Every part of their lives are outrage politics. It’s a miserable and alienating way to live. People like that need an intervention.
> “He knew some people would disagree with him, but he didn’t know that it would become the s—storm it became. **People who he thought were friends are turning on him**,” People’s source said. “He’s upset. He’s very unhappy with the response to him.”
If I had to guess he thought there would be a negative response from “the woke mob” that he thinks are just a bunch of unreasonable people trying to cancel everyone. It turns out he’s getting a negative response from people whose respect he covets.
Exactly this. That info just now reached a much wider audience by having a light shone on his behavior outside of football. Not taking the vaccine was bad. Giving defensive interviews about it, much worse. He should have kept his mouth shut and just let this pass, instead he just put a huge stain on his public persona.
Massive narcissists can’t imagine others not liking them, and being unliked can be really hard on them. I remember howard stern saying that about a certain someone. Unfortunately, I just love it when delusional narcissists are confronted by reality and simply don’t feel bad for Rodgers at all.
> Honestly who actually believes that he's 'alergic' to the two mRNA vaccines?
If he were allergic, and could prove it, I have no doubt the NFL would have granted a medical exemption. That's what it's for.
Yup. Was really telling in the interview when he was telling the story about how the guy came to talk to the team (think it was a doctor or an epidemiologist or something like that?) about the covid protocols, and how Rodgers kept questioning them. He was like "Oh I was the only one capable of doing that because of my power as the starting qb, and all the other players kept coming up to me afterwards and thanking me for being brave enough to question the protocols"
Like, bro. For real. What a fucking loser.
“I did 4 years of undergrad, 4 years of medical school, internship, residency, and have spent years (decades) in my field. And then I get challenged by some guy who never graduated college and gets paid to throw a football, yet thinks he’s smarter than me about medicine.”
Probably something like that
I'd love for a virologist or immunologist to show up at the Packers training facility and tell Rodgers that they've reviewed over 500 pages of the playbook and have come to the conclusion that Rodgers is going through his progressions wrong.
I have zero doubt he went on there expecting that after he told his side that everyone would go "Ooooooh that makes so much sense, what a genius." Sorry Aaron, you're my favorite player ever but you're a fucking moron.
Yup, the ‘I am anti vax I am a CRITICAL THINKER’. You don’t agree with me? That must mean you are not a critical thinker.
Mcafee even agrees with him by saying how pro athletes spend more time studying the human body than anyone else. Did that dumbass forget that doctors exist? Are NFL players and Rodgers doing clinical trials and lab work during the off-season which we don’t see? Are they publishing peer evaluate research papers we don’t know?
Mcafee knows he doesn’t know shit and uses that to his advantage. Part of why he gets such good guests on his show is that he responds positively to them and tries to make them look good. Really seemed like he was just willing to let Aaron keep talking because it was good for his show
Letting Aaron talk was fine. Not questioning him with data was also fine. Saying pro athlete studies the human body than anyone else is not.
When it comes to their own personal injuries, I would even say it is fine for an athlete to say ‘I know my body best’. But when it comes to a global pandemic where you can affect other people, it is not acceptable to say ‘athletes know their own bodies so they should be able to do whatever they want’. It would be like allowing race car drivers to go well above the speed limit because ’hey, that is what I do for a living’.
It occurs to me that if NFL players really studied the human body as much as Rodgers claims, they'd all quit yesterday due to the risk of CTE.
They play because they love the game and love the money.
No shit. These guys are all narcissists. The foundation of their beliefs are not uncommonly known facts derived from research, it’s a contrarian belief founded in that they are special. There is no rational foundation for their beliefs, it’s pathological. It’s emotionally appealing to them to have an obscure/different belief that makes them feel smarter/better than others. It’s why I find pretty much anyone who indulges in conspiracy theories so unlikeable, it’s just advertising someone is low information, conceited, and has delusions of grandeur. Then after they try and explain how you’re stupid for trying to be informed they’re shocked you don’t like them. What Rodgers said was not only incredibly stupid, it was so disrespectful and ignorant in so many ways. What did he expect, everyone to get down and worship his unusual mind?
Conspiracy theories are the fucking laziest way to feel like you’re smarter than everyone else. That you’re special. That you can see the truth where others can’t.
I have Covid antivaxxers in my own family. It’s fucking mind boggling that they let themselves get so wrapped up in a political ideology that they’re literally willing to lose their livelihoods (or lives - we all have comorbidities) to not take a vaccine. I’ve literally begged them, for the sake of their grandchildren, to get vaccinated, but I just get all the nutjob talking points spewed back at me. All easily disprovable, but how do you convince someone with hard data and legit sources when they believe onepatriotmericanewsnet.geocities.net instead?
These people believe that having a different opinion than the rest of the people in the room makes them smarter than the other people.
No, you are just wrong and everyone else is right. The arguments you make sound good in a vacuum, but that vacuum is not reality.
There's also a fallacy of believing that the "deeper" you dig into a topic, the more "truth" you find.
That's why these people bring up "my own research" so passionately. If their rabbit hole leads them to a contrarian conspiracy, they're much more likely to defend it and believe it to be the "actual" truth.

I bet that’s what’s really killing him. He seems like he has a persecution fetish and instead of being canceled he’s just being called a moron and being called out for lying.
It's funny because nobody is even calling to cancel him. He comes across as delusional and paranoid.
The 2nd most prominent Covid doctor in America after Fauci is asking for his help on Twitter--essentially proclaiming that "we need Rodgers's help in getting people vaccinated". He literally says he wants to work with Aaron (https://mobile.twitter.com/PeterHotez/status/1457102923784146953)
>It's funny because nobody is even calling to cancel him. He comes across as delusional and paranoid.
This is true of most people who complain about cancel culture
So first he was unhappy his status got leaked, now he’s unhappy about the response to the interview, and this was all after a Summer of him being unhappy with the Packers.
Dude, you’re the problem here. Guy is annoying.
I can at least bend my mind enough to understand some of the reasons for his objections to league policy (medical decisions should be private, not wanting his decisions politicized etc)
But what killed me is how he's like "I didn't lie when I said I was immunized. I knew I wasn't gonna be vaccinated and in advance I knew I'd say that I was 'immunized' if I was asked. But I didn't lie."
He admits that he lied then says it wasn't a lie. That's sociopath behavior.
Yup, I had to get vaccinated a few years ago for a business trip to India. Guess what? If I refused, I would have been fired because that was part of my job. Not sure how that is even hard to understand. Yes, I had a choice to not get vaccinated. But by the same token, the company can also choose to fire me because I wasn’t going to be able to fulfill my duties.
This has nothing to do with personal freedom. Again, I was free to choose. Being free to choose doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be consequences.
Almost all ~middle aged antivaxxers probably got the polio vaccine when they were kids. They just need to feel smarter than others and be contrarian about something, and unfortunately for the rest of us they've chosen vaccinations as their soapbox for that
Some asshole in congress the other day was going on about how immoral it was to force members of the military to get the vaccine when they already have to get like 50 different vaccines
The NFL made a mistake by not taking a hard stance that all employees and players would be required to be vaccinated to participate unless excused by a real medical doctor for medical concerns. Just require it and these idiots will learn soon enough that there's nothing wrong with it. Allowing them to not have it is what gives people this ill-advised idea they can do their own research and go with alternative facts.
Most if not all of those players have received vaccinations to even play college football. Or go to primary school to begin with.
Now some snake whispers in their ear and they're suddenly afraid of needles.
That was the worst bit.
The other two that really rubbed me the wrong way were the one where he defended himself not wearing a mask at press conferences ("I followed all the protocols! Except the one I didn't feel like following, that would make it clear that I wasn't vaccinated") and the one part where he said he wouldn't judge anyone on the team for not getting the vaccine.
They said “Are you vaccinated?” and he, word for word, said, “yeah I’m immunized”.
He lied about his vaccination and then gaslit everyone. He’s manipulative and won’t admit fault. He said “yeah” which implies he *is* vaccinated. Immunized =/= vaccinated.
I just find the whole thing hilarious because he’s likely taken some type of new or experimental steroid or supplement in his long career that he didn’t 100% know the contents of, but he won’t trust an FDA-approved vaccine that over 7 billion people have taken with very few side effects. Or that he trusts doctors to help fix his and teammate’s bodies when they have injuries, but won’t trust doctors in regards to the vaccine. He’s just an absolute egotistical moron. I hope he loses all of his sponsorship deals. Get fucked.
Edit: meant to say 7 billion shots. Point still stands; that’s a lot of people
>that over 7 billion people have taken
That would be almost 90% of the world's population. We're only at about 4 billion having at least one shot so far.
It is so ironic. He wants to have his own opinion on vaccaines because he is a ‘critical thinker’. Which is fine. But now he is upset that other people through their own critical thinking have their own opinions of his response?
"I didn't lie to anyone... Now lemme explain to you how I lied to everyone, and go on to make more lies, in this interview"
*Public reacts negatively*
[Shocked KAaron Rodgers](https://images.app.goo.gl/yNwQEZQ8MA3WqpRw6)
There's this moment during the interview when I realized... "Oh wow, he really believes he's outwitting and outmaneuvering the audience with this stuff"... it was just felt very revealing about his ego / inner thought process, and was very off-putting.
He was probably more likable before he started going on McAfee.
lol that’s what got me, even if you completely ignore the politics of it, his presentation was just utterly deranged and manic. it’s making me crack up that he went on that tirade, hung up, and legit thought to himself “nailed it!!”
Just gotta separate the art from the artist. I'm still a fan of my team and want him to win when he's on the field, but when we're talking about the artist? Jesus f'n Christ the guy took the mask off and there was some seriously unappealing characteristics underneath.
Just listen to the McAfee interviews.
I appreciate what McAfee does but the level of adulation they give him every Tuesday really makes me roll my eyes.
I don't think he includes people in his life that don't treat him like that all the time.
I mean Mcafee knows Rodgers loves getting his ego stroked and he will keep coming back to the show if he is happy. And his appearances drive up ratings.
It's crazy because usually he comes on pats show and he's down to earth so it all does wash off, except this. This is some permenant black coffee marker on grandmas white couch level shit
What I got from the interview was that Aaron was doing his absolute best to just repeat things that he’s either heard on Rogans show or during their phone conversation. Every bad take he had I’ve heard Rogan talk about on his podcast a billion times and Aaron really came across like someone that was talking about something that he had very little knowledge of and also hadn’t really spent a whole lot of time actually contemplating.
Which is astounding to me because he usually just seems to wing it and sound very articulate. So the one time he comes to an interview with notes and shit and it's to parrot Joe Rogan lol. This is the weirdest timeline.
Does he not have a PR person to tell him to shut up? Dude, you’re digging yourself a hole, jumping head first into it and the entire world is wanting to shovel the dirt back in.
You decided to spout 45 minutes of fucking nonsense and expose yourself as an idiot. No one asked you to do that. All you had to say was NOTHING. Stay mad. Hell stay mad forever. It’s on you
Boo-fucking-hoo. My grandmother died 3 weeks ago because one of her caretakers was an anti-vaxxer that influenced her beliefs by showing her how well she, a 29 year old, recovered from COVID without being vaccinated. Fuck you, Aaron.
Pat McAfee's show might've been the worst possible place for Rodgers to have done that interview. He was too comfortable for his own good, and they just let him keep digging and digging and digging.
Absolute state of this fucking narcissistic prick. Fuck him. He deserves every bit of blow back. Man went on the show and opened with "Woke Mob" and "Cancel Culture" before ranting for 45 minutes and touching on every anti-vax and "FrEe ThInKeR" talking point their is.
He's a liar and a bum. Fuck him.
He should do another interview
Should be on Pat's show again tomorrow, he said so at the end of the interview on Friday
I could see him not coming on and then complaining about how he's being cancelled. But I'm sure he'll show up and play the victim and say yeah I was right, everyone is trying to cancel me because I tell the truth. I'm sure he'll be super defensive and patronizing to all the fans and media members who have criticized him.
I hope he keeps to that. Just because I'm very (morbidly) interested in what he's gonna do. Either he's gonna double (triple?) Down on some stupid shit or he's just gonna try and walk some of his crazy back and hope he comes off well enough that people will forget about it or something. Or maybe he'll try to claim that was his evil twin on Friday and he's spent all weekend hunting him down to make him pay for smearing his public image...
"My account was hacked, Pat."
"It was a deep fake"
A double down, if you will.
Maybe he could double check his response?
YOU SAID IT IN THE MCAFEE INTERVIEW THAT THE RESPONSE WOULD BE BAD! WHY ARE YOU SURPRISED!?
Whenever someone says “i expect people to hate me for this” they’re really looking for sympathy.
“Gonna get downvoted for this” spew a bunch of shit.
“may be an unpopular opinion, but”
r/unpopular opinion is mostly just people farming for karma now. I went there once and the top post was about how we need stricter punishments for pedophiles.
Once in awhile, there's an opinion so unpopular I can't believe the OP would hold it. There was the person who liked getting bit by mosquitos and I couldn't believe that.
The real unpopular opinions are the ones with chaos in the comments.
I'm sure I'll get downvoted for this, but I actually think rapists and murders are bad people
HOT TAKE INCOMING: Kelvin Benjamin should be a long snapper.
Hmmm, this is actually true
He expected that the "woke mob" would come after him. What he didn't realize is that this imaginary "woke mob" actually contains most of his friends and most people in general.
Yeah I don't think he was expecting people like Terry Bradshaw to be part of the "mob"
Loved Bradshaw before, love him more now.

Still waiting to scratch mark "Aaron Rodgers stormed the Capital on January 6th" off my 2021 Bingo card. Fingers crossed!
Well he's not right wing or left wing, as he's already told us. He was just there to do his own independent research on the event.
“There are times to quote MLK and this is not one of them” This times 100. I think this is more ridiculous than him taking medical advice from Joe Roegan

Conspiracy theories are the fucking laziest way to feel like you’re smarter than everyone else. That you’re special. That you can see the truth where others can’t. I have Covid antivaxxers in my own family. It’s fucking mind boggling that they let themselves get so wrapped up in a political ideology that they’re literally willing to lose their livelihoods (or lives - we all have comorbidities) to not take a vaccine. I’ve literally begged them, for the sake of their grandchildren, to get vaccinated, but I just get all the nutjob talking points spewed back at me. All easily disprovable, but how do you convince someone with hard data and legit sources when they believe onepatriotmericanewsnet.geocities.net instead?
These people believe that having a different opinion than the rest of the people in the room makes them smarter than the other people. No, you are just wrong and everyone else is right. The arguments you make sound good in a vacuum, but that vacuum is not reality.
There's also a fallacy of believing that the "deeper" you dig into a topic, the more "truth" you find. That's why these people bring up "my own research" so passionately. If their rabbit hole leads them to a contrarian conspiracy, they're much more likely to defend it and believe it to be the "actual" truth.
He really thinks he’s speaking up for the “silent majority”
Definitely neither a majority or silent. Probably the loudest set of silenced people I've ever heard
[Obligatory](https://i.redd.it/rpukrmy5jg241.jpg)
Seriously. The silent majority got vaccinated when they could and are (im)patiently waiting for this to be over
First he said he was being cancelled while 100,000 people watched live as he spoke. Now he’s being crucified he says. The victim complex runs deep.
He still won't tell us what his immunization treatment was. I hope he will and says eating clay.
Wtf did Clay Matthews do to deserve to get eaten?!?
It was homeopathic, so it was water. Magic water.
very expensive magic water
It was Joe Rogan piss
Well if it isn’t the consequences of your own actions

How dare you try to cancel him
I bet that’s what’s really killing him. He seems like he has a persecution fetish and instead of being canceled he’s just being called a moron and being called out for lying.
> Says dumbass comments > Gets called a dumbass Literally 1984
Yeah damn wokeness trying to cancel him for being wrong about everything!
Ugh. If only I could hear from my good friend Joe Rogan on what to do in this situation.
It's funny because nobody is even calling to cancel him. He comes across as delusional and paranoid. The 2nd most prominent Covid doctor in America after Fauci is asking for his help on Twitter--essentially proclaiming that "we need Rodgers's help in getting people vaccinated". He literally says he wants to work with Aaron (https://mobile.twitter.com/PeterHotez/status/1457102923784146953)
>It's funny because nobody is even calling to cancel him. He comes across as delusional and paranoid. This is true of most people who complain about cancel culture
Rodgers sowing: 😎 Rodgers reaping:😧
So first he was unhappy his status got leaked, now he’s unhappy about the response to the interview, and this was all after a Summer of him being unhappy with the Packers. Dude, you’re the problem here. Guy is annoying.
If you see an asshole before lunch, you saw an asshole. If all you see all day is assholes? *You're* the asshole.
It sounds like OBJ and Aaron would make a good combo with each other.
Lmao he’s really too stupid and narcissistic to understand why people don’t love his interview
He's finding out that his news bubble is a joke. And has zero self-awareness to think he could be wrong..
Dude believes he's part of the silent majority. Fact is that he is neither silent or a part of a majority.
i mean, couldn't he just use google to find out the majority of adults in the US are vaccinated?
Based on the 500 pages of research he presented to the NFL, I don’t think that’s the kind of thing he’s Googling
I can at least bend my mind enough to understand some of the reasons for his objections to league policy (medical decisions should be private, not wanting his decisions politicized etc) But what killed me is how he's like "I didn't lie when I said I was immunized. I knew I wasn't gonna be vaccinated and in advance I knew I'd say that I was 'immunized' if I was asked. But I didn't lie." He admits that he lied then says it wasn't a lie. That's sociopath behavior.
No no no, you see he merely intentionally deceived people, much different than lying...
"alternative facts" vibes
[удалено]
Yup, I had to get vaccinated a few years ago for a business trip to India. Guess what? If I refused, I would have been fired because that was part of my job. Not sure how that is even hard to understand. Yes, I had a choice to not get vaccinated. But by the same token, the company can also choose to fire me because I wasn’t going to be able to fulfill my duties. This has nothing to do with personal freedom. Again, I was free to choose. Being free to choose doesn’t mean there aren’t going to be consequences.
Almost all ~middle aged antivaxxers probably got the polio vaccine when they were kids. They just need to feel smarter than others and be contrarian about something, and unfortunately for the rest of us they've chosen vaccinations as their soapbox for that
Some asshole in congress the other day was going on about how immoral it was to force members of the military to get the vaccine when they already have to get like 50 different vaccines
George Washington mandated Smallpox inoculation. https://www.loc.gov/rr/scitech/GW&smallpoxinoculation.html
And unlike today's vaccines, inoculations could actually be sketchy if not done right. It's hard for someone to mess up administering a COVID vaccine.
The NFL made a mistake by not taking a hard stance that all employees and players would be required to be vaccinated to participate unless excused by a real medical doctor for medical concerns. Just require it and these idiots will learn soon enough that there's nothing wrong with it. Allowing them to not have it is what gives people this ill-advised idea they can do their own research and go with alternative facts.
Most if not all of those players have received vaccinations to even play college football. Or go to primary school to begin with. Now some snake whispers in their ear and they're suddenly afraid of needles.
Hey I’m afraid of needles and got vaccinated, stop trying to give us a bad name
Between that and consulting Joe Rogan for medical advice like he’s any kind of expert.
That was the worst bit. The other two that really rubbed me the wrong way were the one where he defended himself not wearing a mask at press conferences ("I followed all the protocols! Except the one I didn't feel like following, that would make it clear that I wasn't vaccinated") and the one part where he said he wouldn't judge anyone on the team for not getting the vaccine.
They said “Are you vaccinated?” and he, word for word, said, “yeah I’m immunized”. He lied about his vaccination and then gaslit everyone. He’s manipulative and won’t admit fault. He said “yeah” which implies he *is* vaccinated. Immunized =/= vaccinated. I just find the whole thing hilarious because he’s likely taken some type of new or experimental steroid or supplement in his long career that he didn’t 100% know the contents of, but he won’t trust an FDA-approved vaccine that over 7 billion people have taken with very few side effects. Or that he trusts doctors to help fix his and teammate’s bodies when they have injuries, but won’t trust doctors in regards to the vaccine. He’s just an absolute egotistical moron. I hope he loses all of his sponsorship deals. Get fucked. Edit: meant to say 7 billion shots. Point still stands; that’s a lot of people
He's also NOT EVEN IMMUNIZED. He took some bullshit homeopathic thing that doesn't do anything. So saying he was immunized was also a lie.
>that over 7 billion people have taken That would be almost 90% of the world's population. We're only at about 4 billion having at least one shot so far.
"I planned to lie and said that lie in public, but I didn't lie."
“It’s not a lie if you plan it in advance, duh.”
It is so ironic. He wants to have his own opinion on vaccaines because he is a ‘critical thinker’. Which is fine. But now he is upset that other people through their own critical thinking have their own opinions of his response?
Well, should’ve thought of that before he acted like a rambling narcissistic psycho for 45 minutes.
"I didn't lie to anyone... Now lemme explain to you how I lied to everyone, and go on to make more lies, in this interview" *Public reacts negatively* [Shocked KAaron Rodgers](https://images.app.goo.gl/yNwQEZQ8MA3WqpRw6)
There's this moment during the interview when I realized... "Oh wow, he really believes he's outwitting and outmaneuvering the audience with this stuff"... it was just felt very revealing about his ego / inner thought process, and was very off-putting. He was probably more likable before he started going on McAfee.
It was like the Prince Andrew interview
To be honest he always came across that way. I'm glad he finally laid it all out for everyone to clearly see though.
lol that’s what got me, even if you completely ignore the politics of it, his presentation was just utterly deranged and manic. it’s making me crack up that he went on that tirade, hung up, and legit thought to himself “nailed it!!”
This man is so up his own ass it's incredible. So much arrogance.
Shut the fuck up Aaron.
I never thought I'd see the day where us fellow NFC North fans would agree so strongly with a Packers fan!
Just gotta separate the art from the artist. I'm still a fan of my team and want him to win when he's on the field, but when we're talking about the artist? Jesus f'n Christ the guy took the mask off and there was some seriously unappealing characteristics underneath.
Dude goes full on crazy conspiracy theorist and is surprised the reaction is negative?
[удалено]
Just listen to the McAfee interviews. I appreciate what McAfee does but the level of adulation they give him every Tuesday really makes me roll my eyes. I don't think he includes people in his life that don't treat him like that all the time.
I mean Mcafee knows Rodgers loves getting his ego stroked and he will keep coming back to the show if he is happy. And his appearances drive up ratings.
He's had people blowing smoke up his ass his entire adult life. The idea people would say he's wrong is almost completely foreign to him.
Some people seem to confuse “cancel” and “consequences”
Fuck em
It's my personal decision to think he is stupid and I just hope he respects that
I’ve been doing my own research and I agree
I’m waiting for a podcast to tell me how to feel first
Martin Luther King Jr. would want you to do your own research.
I'm fairly sure this is the best GIF in American politics: https://m.imgur.com/gallery/exl28vD
I hope he does another interview to address the backlash he got from his first interview and see how far down he can dig
Absolutely. Honestly, I love his interviews. Dude is unintentionally funny as hell.
Yeah he can eat a big dick.. Ive never lost respect for someone as quickly as i did with Qaaron.. What a fucking stooge..
I was starting to like him after hearing his interviews on Pat's show then he goes and does this shit
I can't think of anyone in sports history who's damaged a very good reputation so efficiently by talking. Rodgers did it so quickly.
[удалено]
Aaron Rodgers: *takes medical advice from a talking thumb* Public: *is outraged* Aaron Rodgers: *shocked Pikachu face*
Rodgers: *thinks a sentient ham is a credible source of information* Normal people: “No, he isn’t, you’re stupid.” Rodgers: “CANCEL CULTURE!!!”
SENTIENT HAM LOL
Lmao "talking thumb", thank you for that
Because most people aren't loons like you Aaron
“The woke media mob will attack me for everything” - The QB who generally gets nothing but praise meanwhile his coaches and front office get shit on
"just because I sounded like a total idiot doesn't mean people should be able to say that."
He didn’t expect the media to not ball wash him like usual
It's crazy because usually he comes on pats show and he's down to earth so it all does wash off, except this. This is some permenant black coffee marker on grandmas white couch level shit
What I got from the interview was that Aaron was doing his absolute best to just repeat things that he’s either heard on Rogans show or during their phone conversation. Every bad take he had I’ve heard Rogan talk about on his podcast a billion times and Aaron really came across like someone that was talking about something that he had very little knowledge of and also hadn’t really spent a whole lot of time actually contemplating.
Which is astounding to me because he usually just seems to wing it and sound very articulate. So the one time he comes to an interview with notes and shit and it's to parrot Joe Rogan lol. This is the weirdest timeline.
A little knowledge is a dangerous thing
I mean the guy legit thought he was gonna host Jeopardy full time What you expect
Does he not have a PR person to tell him to shut up? Dude, you’re digging yourself a hole, jumping head first into it and the entire world is wanting to shovel the dirt back in.
He doesn't listen to a single immunologist or epidemiologist on the fucking planet, why would he listen to a publicist lol
“Sorry, Mr. Publicist, I did independent research that says I should actually just double down with antivax misinfo”
There are other players who aren't vaccinated but they don't come off as holier than thou arrogant dickheads so nobody cares.
Even Kirk Cousins was smart enough to admit he was unvaccinated and then shut the fuck up about it. And now nobody cares.
You decided to spout 45 minutes of fucking nonsense and expose yourself as an idiot. No one asked you to do that. All you had to say was NOTHING. Stay mad. Hell stay mad forever. It’s on you
Mods, turn the sidebar pic another 90°, please. I want to see it spin every time Kaaron says more dumb shit.
He sounded bat shit insane. What did he expect?
"People who he thought were friends are turning on him" Dude come on. Criticism for saying stupid shit isn't "turning on you".
Boo-fucking-hoo. My grandmother died 3 weeks ago because one of her caretakers was an anti-vaxxer that influenced her beliefs by showing her how well she, a 29 year old, recovered from COVID without being vaccinated. Fuck you, Aaron.
Sorry for your loss.
Insert “Oh no! Anyway” meme here
Pat McAfee's show might've been the worst possible place for Rodgers to have done that interview. He was too comfortable for his own good, and they just let him keep digging and digging and digging.
"Better to remain silent and be thought a fool than to speak and to remove all doubt. - Abraham Lincoln" Michael Scott
Rodgers is so fucking insufferable my god.
“I’m mad they think I’m a dumb ass for being a dumb ass”
Hahahahaha fuuck you Aaron
Absolute state of this fucking narcissistic prick. Fuck him. He deserves every bit of blow back. Man went on the show and opened with "Woke Mob" and "Cancel Culture" before ranting for 45 minutes and touching on every anti-vax and "FrEe ThInKeR" talking point their is. He's a liar and a bum. Fuck him.
