Green Bay Packers All-Pro quarterback Aaron Rodgers expressed his disgust with Democratic politicians like House Speaker Nancy Pelosi and California governor Gavin Newsom for their hypocrisy in supporting draconian shutdowns of the economy while they were “not even following their own rules.” He added, “I mean, how many people have gotten caught?”
Rodgers, a California native who formerly starred at the University of California, Berkeley, spoke on “The Pat McAfee Show” about his $500,000 donation to the Dave Portnoy’s Barstool Fund, which has been sending relief to many small businesses desperate to keep their businesses afloat. After McAfee, a former All-Pro punter for the Indianapolis Colts, congratulated Rodgers on his $500,000 donation, Rodgers stated of Portnoy, “I’ve been following El Presidente on social media for a while; I’ve enjoyed his takes on many different things. And when he got kind of challenged, I was wondering how he would respond. Initially, it was ‘Here’s $500,000, you take it; you figure how to go with the money.’ That changed pretty quickly into him and his folks there figuring out how to get the money out. It’s just an amazing deal, what they’re doing; to be able to not only change people’s lives and livelihoods, but to do it in such a timely fashion. I mean, the money is going out every 24 to 72 hours.”
“I think there was such a need,” Rodgers continued. “If you look around our environment today, it’s not like the government is really helping anybody out in a timely fashion. I mean, they took forever to figure out how to give $600 checks away, and then you know may or may not get to $2,000 at this point. That’s not life-changing money. What Dave and his folks are doing with the Barstool Fund is life-changing money...

Seems to be the way whenever someone in the NFL speaks truthfully
He’ll back down or be cancelled.
Rodgers for Governor 2022.
Thank you Aaron Rodgers, for pointing out the hypocrisy of the Dems. It should not take a pro football player to speak up and announce the fakery of the left. There are but a few republicans speaking up about all the double standards.
Ted Cruz and Rand Paul cannot carry that weight alone.
Uhhhh, no. He’s a rat.
I stand corrected, then...;-)
>> He’ll back down or be cancelled.
No doubt he’s come to the realization that there’s not much to lose at this point.
Let him concentrate on winning the Super Bowl first.
Me thinks that he won’t get his typical favorable officiating in his next game.
I love Aaron Rodgers and the GB Packers. I use to love the Dallas Cowboys and the rest of the NFL but not anymore.
He is bigger than the NFL.
Truth has that effect dontchaknow.
Rogers is right. Democrats in Congress not only don’t give a damn about how much hardship their virtue signaling dictatorial lock-down orders impose on Americans already under siege from a deadly virus (Pelosi’s foot-dragging on stimulus payouts proves it), but those same Democrats also publicly display an arrogant uncaring and haughty hypocrisy when they blatantly violate their own rules to convenience themselves. Then, when caught on camera, they go on TV to admit making a ‘mistake’ and go right back to demanding evermore burdensome restrictions on everyday life.
Now it looks like Dave Portnoy has red-pilled him big time.
Welcome to the club, Aaron!
Their rules are not meant for them to follow. They are meant for Us to follow.
But I have made a choice. Their rules are meant for me to ignore.
