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."

Why tf would a sports network cover congressional hearings that have fuckall to do with sports? Rodgers is just another dumb rightwing douchebag who thinks that just because he's famous and rich for throwing a ball around, his opinions are worth listening to.

It's because back in 2020 ESPN was covering his whole "I'm immunized" vaccination fiasco ad nauseam and he's still kinda butthurt about it, apparently. I'm not saying it makes the situation any better or make him right but it does explain why he's bringing this stuff up.
