Green Bay Packers QB, Aaron Rodgers is one of the most talked about superstars in the NFL. The 38-year-old attended the Joe Ragon Podcast show on Saturday where he opened up about many topics. 

However, one area that caught the attention of many people was his take on journalism. One of the best in the business, Rodgers had often spoken about how media unnecessarily drags his name to catch viewership.

“That’s not journalism anymore. It is sensationalism. You have ten words on the front page to know what a story is about. How do I get the most clicks on it? Well, They Need Trump Back, Or What Will They Talk About?” Rodgers told Ragon in the podcast. 

Aaron Rodgers, media, and NFL popularity

Major athletes often talk about the invasion of media in their personal and private lives. Sports stars and media have a complementary role to play with each other. Both depend on the other for growth and survival. 

Several fans expressed joy in Rodgers’ comments and added that constructive criticism like these can certainly improve the quality of the coverage and give the audience a more detailed experience. Media is a thriving market where most of the demands are met using parameters like audience interest, taste, etc.
