The problem here is that the league was in on it. They knew he wasn't vaccinated. they knew he was violating protocols.
The league isn't going to fine itself.
Yeah…this is an odd one, and I agree the league knew and let it slide because of who he is. It’s a mess, but I have boundless faith in the league’s ability to shift blame away from themselves and onto teams. double standards always piss me off ...

It's clear that the NFL is trying to sweep this under the rug because of their own culpability.

This is why I do not get. I am no Rodgers fan. I think he is a condescending A-hole. But if he is as with all pro- sports athletes that are unvaccinated, a danger to the vaccinated?
I ask these points.
A) Why were these professional players placed at risk for playing a full season last year? With every player being a risk to every other player and that player's family or whoever else he is in contact with.. By the argument all leagues are using . There should have been no sports played until the vaccination was ready and deployed.
B) If the vaccine is effective . Why are the unvaccinated a danger to the vaccinated? The vaccination is supposed to protect the recipient of the most devastating effects of the virus.. So how is the unvaccinated a danger? And this brings us to C
C) It has been proven. The vaccinated can still contract the contagion and transmit it. So how is this different than last year? Every player is in the same position as far as catching and spreading it as they have always been. In reality, (you would think) the vaccinated are more dangerous to the unvaccinated and the people they come in contact with . So why continue with the season if that is a big issue?
D) It is Rodgers choice not to get the jab. It is also his right granted by HIPPA not to have to disclose his medical information to anyone if he chooses.
IMO: This has as more to do with appeasing the PC woke police, in order to not make waves with their cash cow advertising revenue. Rather than a safety concern for players well being.
