5. He used to be normal.

He was a great athlete. His teammates loved him. He did a lot of charity work. He was never someone who was in trouble with the law or who abused women.

When they brought in another QB (Jordan Love) in 2020 he freaked out and he did it publicly. Surely he knew how Green Bay does things - they invest a lot in a QB before letting him start. But after that Rodgers started whining to the media about every decision the Packers made. They deferred to him a lot, but he wanted to be in charge. He's a diva.

I'm not someone who listens to athletes except maybe for the 5 min talk after the game, and I don't usually do that. But Rodgers apparently became a media darling with people like Pat McAfee and Joe Rogan. He moved from talking about football to being an expert on EVERYTHING.

He told Wisconsin media that he was immunized against Covid, and then he got Covid and missed playing in the Chiefs game - so GB lost. Well, it turns out he had used a homeopathic remedy and did not get a vaccine. So he lied. That was really the beginning of the end. Heck, there were people on the team whose family members died of Covid.

And it went on from there. If it was weird he had to try it. I think the Packers were lucky to get rid of his contract. The Jets were stupid to take him on. And now he is just embarrassing. His achievements are all behind him and he's still hanging on.
