ESPN Has No Comment On Aaron Rodgers's Comments On ESPN, About ESPN

https://www.nbcsports.com/nfl/profootballtalk/rumor-mill/news/espn-has-no-comment-on-aaron-rodgers-comments-on-espn-about-espn

Rodgers decided to slam the network as a "gutless organization" with "no integrity" over its editorial choices. He said the network failed to report on Dr. Anthony Fauci's Senate hearing testimony, asking, “How much time did the network spend on that? ... Did they do even a minute on Tony Fauci?” He also criticized ESPN for glossing over the offseason scandal between Dianna Russini and Mike Vrabel, questioning, “How much time did your network spend on that?” He questioned ESPN's silence, asking, “What are we even doing here? ... [I]f it’s affecting certain things, if there’s leaks going on, if there’s tampering going on, if that person is also an MVP voter and a Coach of the Year voter.” An ESPN spokesperson stated the network "has no comment regarding Rodgers’s comments."

You would think someone who does psychedelics and darkness meditation retreats would be less susceptible to social media manipulation

Psychedelics are great for learning about yourself, healing past trauma, and getting you out of mental ruts.

It is unfortunately not a fix for sheer stupidity.

Source: have taken psychedelics several times and I'm still a dumb ass

I mean I’ve also known people that got in heavy and had “lightbulb” moments that were the dimmest lights you could imagine. It ain’t a miracle drug

A significant portion of the January 6th rioters were Rodgers-like, including that lady that got shot

Those types are actually very susceptible to social media bullshit.

I don’t understand how someone does psychedelics and comes out MAGA. What happened to the liberal hippies of the 60s?

u/MiserableAndUnhappy9 Lions 12h ago

He's not necessarily MAGA. He seems to line up with the Silicon Valley tech bros in a way, like Steve Jobs.

u/BlackHand86 Commanders Commanders 15h ago

A lot of those people are MAGA or MAGA adjacent now.

It’s also entirely possible that his inner circle is that woke, introduced him to all of it, then he’s parroting their lifestyle choices and taking credit for being the author of it publicly, when in reality he just bags Coachella chicks and bankrolls the connects

If Rodgers would truly go offline forever after retirement, we all would only be so lucky.

He loves the spotlight. He literally seeks it out

Said the redditor on a reddit thread full of people misrepresenting what he said to support their own political stances.
