Terry Bradshaw rips Aaron Rodgers over vaccine status: ‘You lied to everyone’
Share this post:
Former Steelers quarterback Terry Bradshaw did not hold back Sunday during FOX’s pregame NFL show when the subject of Green Bay Aaron Rodgers and his covid vaccination status arose.
“I’d give Aaron Rodgers some advice,” Bradshaw said, during the show at the Naval Academy in Annapolis. “It would have been nice if he’d just come to the Naval Academy and learned how to be honest. Learned not to lie. Because that’s what you did, Aaron. You lied to everyone.
“I understand ‘immunized.’ What you were doing was taking stuff that would keep you from getting covid-19. You got covid-19. Ivermectin is a cattle dewormer. Sorry, folks, that’s what it is. We are a divided nation politically. We are a divided nation on the covid-19, whether or not to take the vaccine. And unfortunately, we’ve got players that pretty much think only about themselves. And I’m extremely disappointed in the actions of Aaron Rodgers.”

Rodgers, quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, has faced criticism after telling reporters this year that he had been “immunized,” when it turns out he did not get a covid-19 vaccination. He missed Sunday’s game after testing positive for the coronavirus.
Bradshaw’s colleagues expressed displeasure as the discussion continued.
“In the grand scheme of things, it’s deceptive and it’s wrong,” said Michael Strahan. “And the presentation that he did did not help.”
Jimmy Johnson called Rodgers selfish.
“I respect his attitude toward being an individual,” Johnson said. “But this is a team game. In all honesty, I’m disappointed in his play on words for his explanation. I’m disappointed in some of his selfish actions.”
