After Robert F. Kennedy Reportedly Side-Lined Aaron Rodgers for VP, Jets QB Hosts Flag Football Tourney With Partners

It seems Aaron Rodgers wants to make full use of the offseason. Although the 2023 NFL season didn’t go as per the expectations of A-Rod and his new team, the New York Jets, the QB’s 2024 offseason is definitely busy for him. Just a week ago, Rodgers’ name was being tossed as a potential candidate for VP, for Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s independent presidential ticket.

However, now, as per the reports, it appears that Rodgers won’t be hitting the political headlines and campaign trail this time. So, what’s next for him? Fans need not to worry, as the four-time MVP knows how to keep himself busy and in the spotlight, as the Jets quarterback has turned his head towards another event – Flag Football Tourney.

Aaron Rodgers is back to football for a noble cause?

After reportedly being out of the running, Aaron Rodgers distracted himself with another event. The Jets QB, being the co-founder, general partner of RX3 Growth Partners, an institutional growth equity firm, hosted flag football Tourney (sponsored by RX3) in Orange County, California. Giving a glimpse of him meeting his fans and signing for them, Rodgers shared an Instagram story, which was originally uploaded by Nate Raabe, co-founder, managing partner of RX3. The post also included a caption revealing Raabe and Rodgers’ feelings for Sunday out with their fans. The caption reads: “Great day at the @rx3growth Flag Football Tourney,” with a football emoji.

As per the reports, a few more NFL QBs participated at the event. Furthermore, it was reported that A-Rod played against Packers’ Jordan Love, with a low-score. Rodgers threw a couple of interceptions but still managed to win the game by just one point. However, despite their individual performances, both the quarterbacks eventually lost in the semi-finals of the competition.

The tournament was partnered by RX3, and it was founded to provide “unique access to investment opportunities, relationships with premium brands and influence that can help strengthen portfolio companies.”

Rodgers’ love for investments for small businesses and startups are not new. In 2021, during the COVID-19 period, he talked about this, which resurfaced online once again during his VP candidacy rumors.

Aaron Rodgers encourages life-changing support!

In January 2021, during the Covid-19 pandemic, Aaron Rodgers appeared on the Pat McAfee show virtually, and mentioned that it was high time to contribute and invest in small businesses to combat the economic grudges of the country. He expressed, “We can’t rely on the government to help small businesses….The money is going out 24 to 72 hours and I think there was just such a need if you look around or environment today, it’s not like the government is really helping anybody out in a timely fashion. I mean, it’s a forever figure out how to give $600 checks away and then, you know, later may not get to $2,000 at this point.”

Additionally, Rodgers was encouraged to contribute life-changing support to small businesses, startups and ventures, for a sustainable economic future. This logical way of thinking about politics and business, resurfaced once again when he was rumored to be standing as one of the VP candidates, with Robert F. Kennedy Jr.

However, it has been reported that Rodgers is currently out of the running, and people can only witness him taking control in the gridiron as of now.
