Whatever one's perspective, Rodgers is someone who moves the needle in a way that all of today's top quarterbacks cannot.

I don't care who it's coming from or who said it.' "I'm offended! How can you possibly say that?" I don't really care. 'You just go online and find something you don't agree with. This woke culture wants to be offended by everything. 'And so, that is the way that a lot of things I say are often interpreted. Especially the last few years,' Rodgers told Pat McAfee last month. ![]() 'There's heroes and villains in sports and entertainment, and I think, because of my stance on Covid and maybe some other things, I've been cast as the villain. Throughout recent years, he has also rebelled against 'woke' values, which has rendered him a 'villain.' It became public that he was not traditionally vaccinated following contracting COVID in November of that year, which caused a storm within both traditional and social media. Rodgers believed the onus was on reporters to dig deeper if they desired. When asked in August of 2021 if he was vaccinated, the one-time Super Bowl champion referred to himself as 'immunized.'
