Aaron Rodgers Draws Ire of Late Night Talk Show Host Stephen Colbert After Scandal

A couple of days ago, news broke out that Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers has tested positive for COVID-19.  The NFL community was devastated hearing this news as Green Bay Packers, but the narrative took a complete 360 the next day.

The next day, NFL announced that Aaron Rodgers won’t be able to participate against the Kansas City Chiefs owing to him being unvaccinated. While being unvaccinated is understandable, what irked people more was that Rodgers some time ago claimed the opposite. Owing to this, Rodgers has been widespread criticism and backlash from his fans to pundits to TV show hosts.

Aaron Rodgers tests positive for COVID-19; lies about being vaccinated

A couple of days ago, NFL Insider and reliable journalist Tom Pelissero broke the news that Aaron Rodgers had tested positive for COVID-19. This means that the Green Bay quarterback won’t be able to lead his team against the upcoming decisive clash against Patrick Mahomes‘ Kansas City Chiefs.

After the unfortunate news, the NFL world expressed their sympathies towards the quarterback. But the narrative changed suddenly when NFL a day later reported that the quarterback was in fact unvaccinated. This enraged the fans even more because a few months ago, he had claimed to be “immunized”.

Unfortunately for the Packers, this is not the first time that their player will be out with COVID. Before Rodgers, they already lost Joe Barry, Davante Adams, and Kurt Benkert. Luckily, they have a decent replacement for Rodgers. The quarterback will be replaced by 2019 first-round pick Jordan Love, who will start for the first time in his career.

Stephen Colbert hilariously roasts Aaron Rodgers for vaccination lie

NFL fans around the world have been angry with Aaron Rodgers and Late night TV show host Stephen Colbert was no exception. The host first made fun of Aaron Rodgers with Gwyneth Paltrow taking the collateral damage by equating Paltrow’s wellness company to the Rodgers fiasco.

“My Goop senses are tingling,” Colbert said. “I’m no expert, but I’m guessing it’s a lot easier just to play football with a shot in your arm than a jade egg stuck where the sun don’t shine. Then again, they are called the Packers.”

Ouch.
