To this day, one of the biggest enigmas in the NFL continues to be Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay quarterback has had some peculiar tendencies throughout his career in the league. Even when the pandemic hit, he was one of the only ones who refused to take the vaccination. After the seasons went by, he has gone on to openly admit his usage of mind-altering drugs like Ayahuasca. Even the fans are getting tired of his peculiar antics. His latest whim is the darkness retreat that he has claimed to be going on.
While the idea might have initially gained some interest from the fans, there has been a consistent increase in how it is being mocked. Furthermore, a video of a YouTuber going into the same darkness retreat and recording his experience has gotten the NFL fans saying just one thing.
