Why Antonio Brown Was Suspended But Aaron Rodgers Plays on

As news broke that Antonio Brown had been suspended three games for misrepresenting his vaccination status, it left people wondering why Aaron Rodgers did not face the same fate.

Last month, the Bucs wide receiver was accused by a former live-in chef of obtaining a fake vaccination card in an apparent attempt to duck the NFL's vaccine protocols. As Sports Illustrated's Conor Orr wrote, "this is a felony offense in certain states as the falsifying of the document would have to include the forging of government seals."

"Tampa Bay's Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards have each been suspended without pay for the next three games," the NFL's announcement says.
