The reason Packers’ Aaron Rodgers wasn’t suspended like Antonio Brown

Antonio Brown recently joined Aaron Rodgers in the NFL’s controversial COVID-19 vaccine club. But the difference between the Tampa Bay Buccaneers wide receiver and the Green Bay Packers quarterback is that one of them got suspended and the other one didn’t.

The Bucs’ wideout, along with two other NFL players, was suspended for three games after reportedly misrepresenting his COVID-19 vaccination status. Rodgers, on the other hand, wasn’t slapped with anything more than a fine.

While some are up in arms about what may be viewed as a double standard, according to Pro Football Talk’s Mike Florio, there was a simple, yet critical distinction between the two All-Pro stars.
