State Farm stands by Aaron Rodgers despite not supporting 'some of the statements that he has made'

Following an NFL Sunday filled with State Farm ads while Aaron Rodgers was sidelined in the NFL's COVID-19 protocols, the insurance company was compelled on Monday to address its stance on one of its most visible and suddenly controversial pitchmen.

As expected, State Farm did its best to play things straight down the middle. In a statement provided to USA Today's Christine Brennan, State Farm announced that it's standing by Rodgers if even if it doesn't necessarily agree with his statements. It also encouraged people to get vaccinated against COVID-19. But if you choose not to, State Farm thinks that's also fine.
