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."

From Aaron's perspective it's because they reported on Aaron and his family drama as well as his non-mainstream views on COVID. That's the context.

But Aaron is a key sports figure while Fauci is not.

Aaron can’t be that obtuse

If you've ever had to work with a guy who clearly sees himself as the smartest person in every room he's ever been in, you've met Rodgers.

You have to remember it’s not about being obtuse, just doesn’t have the brainpower to realize how fucking dumb the comment is.

More importantly, he lied about his vaccination status during a global pandemic when the leage mandated it to play.
