Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers recently appeared on a podcast with Barstool Sports. It was a funny podcast overall, and Rodgers was also quite chill throughout it. However, there was a moment when the Packers quarterback apparently got angry at one of the questions.

Aaron Rodgers is one of the popular athletes that are still unvaccinated. He received a lot of criticism over his vaccination status last season. Despite that, Rodgers has been able to shut off the outside noise and do what he wanted to do.
During his appearance on the podcast, Rodgers was asked, “How many people do you think you killed?” The question was later altered, and it became, “How many grandmothers? Let’s just do grandmothers.”
Rodgers replied, “I know you guys are just f*ckin around, but I don’t find that, that part funny.” The Packers quarterback wasn’t at all happy with this question. It was a sensitive topic, and Rodgers wouldn’t like to get involved in it.

Rodgers has already received a lot of criticism for his vaccination stance, and anything he would have said in reply to that question would have been taken in bad proportion.
Aaron Rodgers would want to avoid any controversies this season
The upcoming season will be a tricky one for the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers. They already lost arguably their best receiver in Davante Adams at the start of the season. The road ahead is going to be tough, and everyone around the franchise knows about it.

As a result, Rodgers wouldn’t want to become a distraction for his team this time around. Last season, there were many instances where Rodgers was the center of attention, and it would have caused a distraction to the team.
With his long-term future with the franchise already settled, Rodgers would like to give his all for them. After another playoff failure last season, Rodgers would like to bounce back from it and prove all his doubters wrong.
