Packers' Aaron Rodgers Fined By the NFL For COVID Violation

Well, I guess at this point, Aaron Rodgers has opened himself up for all the jokes. Last week, he tested positive for COVID-19, but what's crazy is that the Green Bay Packers quarterback got on national television and when asked did he get vaccinated, he said yes. Well after the media referenced that interview, Aaron got upset with the way media handled the coverage. Well, yes, because you lied on national television, sir. He admitted he wasn't vaccinated. Well, that lie definitely, and literally, costs him. TMZ reports Aaron has been fined by the NFL for violating the league's COVID-19 protocols. His team has also been hit. The NFL fined Aaron $14,650 for attending a Halloween party with other Packers while he was unvaccinated. The protocols prohibit unvaccinated players from going to large gatherings outside team facilities. But the Packers got the bigger fine of $300,000 for not enforcing the rules with Aaron and another unvaccinated player, including a failure to wear face coverings inside team facilities.
