Aaron Rodgers thinks he is being silenced as he continues to deliver comments to the WorldWide Leader in Sports.
The Packers quarterback used a wide-ranging, 28-minute interview with an ESPN reporter this week to sound off on various things.
“I don’t want to apologize for being myself,” he told reporter Kevin Van Valkenburg. “I just want to be myself.” The reigning MVP thinks people are truly trying to stop him from speaking.
“”I’m being silenced,” says QB Aaron Rodgers in a 28 minute phone call to ESPN.”

Rodgers spoke with Van Valkenburg just days before the Packers’ NFC divisional round playoff matchup with the 49ers. In that conversation, he repeatedly brought up how he and other skeptics are being “silenced” and “censored” when it comes to COVID-19 and vaccines.
“Are they censoring terrorists or pedophiles? Criminals who have Twitter profiles? No, they’re censoring people, and they’re shadow-banning people who have dissenting opinions about vaccines,” Rodgers said. “When you censor and make pariahs out of anybody who questions what you believe in or what the mainstream narrative is, that doesn’t make any sense.”
Rodgers’ stance on COVID and vaccines have gotten him into hot water.
Rodgers might not be the full-time host of Jeopardy when he retires, but he just might have a budding career in politics when he is finished with football.
