Kareem Abdul-Jabbar: ‘Liar’ Aaron Rodgers Allowed to Keep Playing While Kaepernick Remains ‘Blacklisted’
breitbart ^ | 8 Nov 2021 | WARNER TODD HUSTON

Now to put the wild hyperbole candle on top of the anti-Aaron Rodgers media cake, former NBA star Kareem Abdul-Jabbar is now accusing Rodgers of “damaging professional sports” forever.

On his SubStack page, Abdul-Jabbar was jabbering about how Rodgers has destroyed sports because of his unpopular ideas about the coronavirus vaccination in a post entitled, “Aaron Rodgers Didn’t Just Lie.”

“His lies, his illogical defense, and his hubris damage all professional athletes,” Abdul-Jabbar exclaimed.

“What’s especially bothersome is that Aaron Rodgers didn’t just lie and threaten the health of those around him, he also damaged professional sports,”Jabbar railed.

“I can’t help but think of Colin Kaepernick, who was blacklisted by the NFL for passively expressing his frustration with systemic racism – a brave act meant to help his community and save lives – while multi-millionaire Rodgers will continue to play, despite lying to the fans and his teammates and putting innocent lives in danger,” Abdul-Jabbar continued.

“Time will tell whether Rodgers will be judged by the content of his character or the strength of his throwing arm.”

Decades of NFL players being arrested for rape, domestic abuse, drug abuse, drunk driving, violence, and even murder, none of that damaged sports. Years of athletes conducting anti-American protests during the national anthem did not hurt professional sports. And decades of sports leagues pushing far-left, woke agendas, none of that hurt sports.

Abdul-Jabbar is claiming that the Rodgers vaccine controversy has somehow “ruined” sports.

“Instead of consulting immunologists, he consulted anti-vaxxer and podcast host Joe Rogan, who also contracted the virus,” Abdul-Jabbar lamented.

Kaepernick is not being blacklisted. There just are players so much better than he is.

... will be judged by the content of his character or the strength of his throwing arm.

Umm, based on what I see on ESPN and Y*hoo! Sp*rts, no one cares much about either. Just get viewers their fantasy points, or in the case of F*x Sp*rts, Bradshaws' money.

The only folks who care have integrity and no longer have much to do with the legalized gambling that is modern woke sports.

Hank Aaron and Marvin Haggler, after consulting with their immunologists, could not be reached for comment.

Funny thing, if you take 3, 6, or even ten people where I don’t care what they’re saying, it doesn’t make me want to hear them any more no matter how high you stack them up.

What Rodgers demonstrated is that early, outpatient treatment works .... no reason to get a very risky ‘jab’ that does not prevent you getting or transmitting WuFlu.

Approx 60 top athletes have dropped dead from cardiac arrest/strokes, suffered heart attacks, heart damage from myocarditis, had strokes, etc.

Let a few NBA players pitch forward on the court dead & I think you might see a change in attitude ... players for sure & maybe owners.

Why Are Pro Athletes Dropping Like Flies?

Can’t happen to them (NBA guys)? If rumors are true about the Hair Gel Nazi (Newsom), he played Russian Roulette with his health .... and lost.

Hey, Lew, in Kaepernick's case, it's not either/or.  He's out of the league because of BOTH!
