worked with since 2012.

This is a big story and continuing to develop given his influence on so many.

I am not even an NFL fan, but I know how serious his idiotic stance is to kids, teens, and adult fans that will listen to him.

Your best bet is to go into your account tab, click on "trash can" and select several keywords to hide. This is the very reason Elad programmed this function so I'd take advantage of it, if this really bothers you.

That is clearly GD territory just as when we discuss any other public figure making consequential statements that impact our response.

If we were merely talking about him as a sports celebrity, I'd agree--sports or lounge or elsewhere. But that isn't the key issue in these posts.

I find some of the posts on these threads kind of amusing. One DUer even finds Rodgers “intelligent.” Others scramble to explain how they never liked him EVAH, despite wanting him to host Jeopardy. Quite funny to read.

But there were not nearly as many threads about LeBron and Kyrie. I don’t think I saw even one about Cam Newton, and he was quite vocal about his vaccine idiocy.

People need to hear or read about this what he said because we're talking Newsmax levels of antivax misinformation.

Here's a good start:

Sat Nov 6, 2021, 04:20 PM
Nov 2021

Are you aware of his outspoken positions regarding BLM, kneeling NFL players and social justice issues after the Jacob Blake shooting? He is also part owner of the Milwaukee Bucks the first NBA team to boycott a game after the shooting and he supported them 100% . He was hated by Trumpers for that

I agree his position on the vax is wrong and even though I have never been a huge fan of his for things he has done regarding the team, I don’t think he is a POS.

His GM this off season described him perfectly: he is a complicated guy

I must also ask, with all due respect, are you aware that as an NFL player that chose not to be vaccinated, which the NFL does allow, that he has been tested every day of the season for COVID?

He has also tested negative since his positive

He may have caught the vid from his receivers Davante Adams and MVS who tested positive and were sidelined last week. Would you claim those young men also don’t seem to care about the people around them?

If they weren’t vaxed either and lied about being “immunized”, yes they are POS as well. If they were vaxed I feel differently.

It was Lazard and he was not vaxxed, and may have given it to his fellow receiver Adams
They tested positive and were in quarantine protocol at the same time.

I remember them saying he might be able to report back early if he had 2 negatives in 4 days or something like that. This is only allowed if they are vaxxed.

But the bottom line is he lied about his vax status and he endangered others.

He deserves to be suspended and he will be. How long remains to be seen.

No way Roger Goodell is going to let this slide.

If you read about his interview yesterday, it's a collection of all the greatest hits from the antivax movement.

I get what you're saying, but it's a big deal and has to be countered.

He was also the NFL's MVP in 1966.

Growing up a Baltimore Colt fan, I thought Unitas was the all-time best QB. Later, I switched my GOAT QB vote to Joe Montana.

Starr was a better QB as a field general type

What I mean is JU made plays happen on the field from his athletic ability and guts

Starr made them happen in the huddle. For example, he called all the plays of the winning drive of the Ice Bowl.

For all his legend Lombardi as a coach during a game was mostly a cheerleader. Starr called the shots

He’s done good shit. He’s done bad shit.

Turns another Idol has clay feet. Shocking.

He’s still one hell of a qb and just like Farve the NFL will keep him around as long as possible. I’m sure NFL knew he isn’t vaxed.
