NBA Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar wrote a scathing takedown of Aaron Rodgers for Substack on Monday, saying the Green Bay Packers quarterback "directly and deliberately lied to fans and the public when he assured everyone he was 'immunized,' knowing that word would be interpreted as his being vaccinated."
Rodgers, who is unvaccinated but in July told reporters he was "immunized," is currently on the NFL's COVID-19/reserve list after testing positive for the coronavirus and is out for at least 10 days. He missed Sunday's loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.
Abdul-Jabbar criticized Rodgers on a number of fronts in his editorial.
