Anyone hoping to see Aaron Rodgers punished harshly for masquerading as a vaccinated individual (and the Packers for allowing him to do so) would have been sorely disappointed when the NFL issued the quarterback and the franchise piddling fines on Tuesday.
Rodgers and teammate Allen Lazard were fined $14,650 (in accordance with the fine schedule agreed to by the league and players union before the season) for attending a team Halloween party because unvaccinated players are not allowed to gather with teammates in groups of more than three outside of the team facility. The Packers were fined $300,000 for not reporting Rodgers and Lazard’s presence at the party and for not disciplining Rodgers for failing to wear his mask during press conferences.
