NBA legend and activist Kareem Abdul Jabbar called out Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Monday for his infamous "I've been immunized" comment.
"The pandemic has revealed several athletes who abuse their position and responsibility, not just to the public, but to other professional athletes’ livelihood," Abdul-Jabbar wrote in his Substack newsletter. "That latest egregious abuser is Green Bay quarterback and three-time MVP Aaron Rodgers who 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 tested positive for COVID-19 last week and it was revealed that he was not vaccinated against the virus.
