Green Bay Packers QB Aaron Rodgers issues fiery message for his haters!
Rodgers couldn't care less what you think!
Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers came under fire for misleading the media with regards to his immunization status against COVID-19. He tested positive for the illness several weeks ago and was forced to miss his team's game against the Kansas City Chiefs.
The NFL soon launched an investigation into Rodgers and the Packers, and have announced punishment for both the quarterback and the team. According to ESPN's Adam Schefter, the Packers have been fined $300K; meanwhile, Rodgers (as well as WR Allen Lazard) have each been fined $14,650.
During his weekly appearance on The Pat McAfee Show, Rodgers delivered some choice words for his critics, making it clear that he couldn't care less what they think.
“It really comes down to, and pardon my French, giving less f**ks. I think it’s a majority that comes from aging, making mistakes, from failing, to being too sensitive at times…There’s a lot of joy in being unapologetically yourself,” Rodgers said when talking about his outlook during a Tuesday interview with Pat McAfee.
Of course, Rodgers essentially has the NFL MVP award all but wrapped up for a second consecutive year. He's led the Packers to a pristine 13-3 mark, earning the NFC North title while also racking up 3,977 yards, 35 touchdowns and only four interceptions. Meanwhile, since the start of 2020, Rodgers has completed nearly 70% of his attempts for 8,276 yards with 83 touchdowns and just nine interceptions in 31 games.
