GREEN BAY, Wis. (AP) — Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers could be playing football again less than two weeks after testing positive for COVID-19 and misleading everyone about being an unvaccinated player.
Whether the off-field consequences of the reigning MVP's science-defying explanation for why he chose not to get the shot have a similarly short shelf life remains uncertain.
Rodgers is one of the NFL’s most visible players. His appearances on State Farm commercials make him a ubiquitous presence even on game telecasts that don’t involve the Packers.
His comments regarding his vaccination status could put that marketability to the test.
