12 out Vs Chefs with COVID

[texaspackerbacker]

Are they worried about players catching it from media pukes? Or about the media pukes catching it from the players? If it's the latter, fuck those bastards.

[smuggler]

Well, the mask doesn't protect its wearer, so...

[MadtownPacker]

Actually,in the entertainment league. The more drama, the deeper the Post season.
Favre rehab.
Lewis court case.
Kc player kicks a girl in hotel.
Etc.

100% agree. I just wish the rest of the posters could keep the fight about Rodgers and not their political leanings.

The Titans were fined 350,000 for breaking covid protocols last year. I suspect if the Packers broke protocols in the media auditorium that they would be fined money, not lose draft picks.

Lafleur said he wasn’t paying attention to the masking during media visits. It’s an oversight by him and it could cost the Packers a few hundred thousand dollars.

The Packers, and Rodgers have broken all kinds of protocols.

Media Room Rodgers should have had a mask on in all his interviews. Rodgers threw a Halloween party last weekend and there were supposedly between four and twelve Packers there. Having 4 or more and him not wearing a mask is a violation. I'm not sure if he's supposed to wear a mask in locker rooms. But the management f'cked up this one. They must have known.

And AROD knowingly misled the media and fans and he either did it flagrantly or was just AROD being AROD. Either way, he should have known better.

We're getting some fines; let's just hope we don't get draft picks taken.

[Bretsky]

So I just read on acmepacking that other unvaxxed players such as kirk cousins and David Montgomery have been maskless in media rooms all season as well. Sorry, this is totally on the NFL. Perhaps the media as well since they absolutely knew cousins is unvaccinated.

While I agree in general with you, it's clear the NFL dumps this on each team to enforce and when things get called out the teams pay the price

[Bretsky]

I give Jason Wilde Credit.

He apologized to the fans for his lack of due diligence in not asking a follow up question to the ya, I'm immunized.

It's rate a media guy basically criticizes himself, and his peers, for lack of due diligence

Fucking Rodgers. Can't you just see inside his brain? "Well, I didn't lie, and if people are as smart as I am, they'll parse my words and understand I was not lying. Too bad for all those fools out there that they can't understand the nuances of language."

I’m w/ AR on this one. And I don’t think he lied - and he did follow protocol in the facility.

They didn’t ask are you following unvaccinated protocols? Which vaccine did you take, etc.

I’d guess his agent and lawyer coached him on what to say.

And - again, look at the shaming of Cole and Cousins.

[King Friday]

They asked him if he was vaccinated. He clearly manipulated his answer to avoid having to say out loud that he was not vaccinated. That is not telling the entire truth, which is a lie.

Can't really see how anyone is with Rodgers on this. I get taking a stand and saying it should be your choice...and I would support him on that if he was honest and upfront with it.

Instead, he's trying to have his cake and eat it too. He's once again pretending he's the smartest guy in the room and can pull the wool over everyone's eyes. He's going to cost the Packers cash. He may cost them an L on the schedule. His little Halloween party could force several other players to COVID protocol in coming weeks. All for taking a "stand" that he was too much of a pussy to actually come out and take the "stand" for.

Disagree wholeheartedly

By your definition, Athletes and coaches ‘lie’ all - the - time. Who gives a real fuck.

How many thousand times have you heard the same non answer, answer on any range of topics from injury status, game planning, sentiments on former teams, upcoming matchups, etc.

Clearly AR did some prophylactic treatment - which was probably experimental. Just the vaccines were until Sept.

Per coach, they didn’t violate protocols. Media room might be a gray zone (and many other teams are doing the same).

We haven’t lost - yet. And weren’t guaranteed a L last week when our best player (vaccinated, out w/ covid) either.

As AR has said before. Relax

[George Cumby]

This.

Fuck Rodgers.

Rodgers lied in every sense of the word. He obviously intended to give the false impression that he was vaccinated. That's a lie. Homeopathy does not produce any sort of immunity, so that is literally a lie (even if Rodgers can't be wholly responsible for repeating it.)
This level of deception is not routine.

Clearly AR did some prophylactic treatment - which was probably experimental. Just the vaccines were until Sept.

A Shaman chanting over burning incense is not a "prophylactic treatment." The quack medicine man spraying homeopathic elixir into Rodger's big nose is also not a "prophylactic treatment." .

The vaccines ceased being experimental in October 2020 after they passed extensive trials.
Calling them "experimental" nearly a year later, after a billion ppl world wide have been successfully vaccinated is demagoguery.

We live in an era where science sets limits for medicine. Vitamin D, ivermectin, Hydroxychloroquine, zinc, homeopathic nasal sprays, prayer and UV Light are not accepted as substitutes for vaccine by science. Natural immunity alone is variable and certainly inferior to natural immunity stimulated by vaccine. It is rational and well-supported to prioritize vaccine.

Sadly they coincide. Those who don't like the rigid protocols are defending Rodgers, and those who think they are necessary are slamming him. Interesting in about a 75-85% correlation those that defended him for being a jackass all offseason are now slamming him and vice versa.

But it would be nice to live in a world where those who insist on rules to control others would actually abide by those rules themselves.

Funny thing is that the same media that howled and backed Rodgers ploy to become the GM and have all the authority are now upset at the Packers organization for not exercising authority over the guy they think should wield all the authority.
