6. I'm with you. I also lost respect for the Packers letting him get away with antivax BS.

I haven't watched a game since. Truthfully, it hurts as a Sconnie, but I'm not sure I will ever watch a game again. They spent their entire existence talking up how they are all about the fans. They they let some idiot player decide they don't want to do SCIENCE to protect the rest of the team and their staff as if that's okay. Hell no. Not okay with me.

Packers had a chance to be the bigger, better team and they blew it. They're just like everyone else. Locally owned is just a cover.

I stood in their stadium 4 years ago and accepted a grant for a local non-profit I'm on the board of directors of. It's difficult to underestimate how traitorous to the rest of their employees their behavior with Rodgers feels to me.

It's probably my fault, though. I actually bought a Rodgers jersey the year before. Threw it out just like I did with the Chmura jersey I bought. The only Packers jerseys I've ever bought turned out to represent shitheads.
