Aaron Rodgers, a former NFL quarterback, has gained notoriety for peddling conspiracy theories. In a podcast appearance, Rodgers falsely claimed that an antiretroviral drug called azidothymidine (AZT) was “killing people” in the 1980s. He also weaved a conspiracy theory linking the Chinese spy balloons, the Ohio railroad fire, and the Jeffrey Epstein case on The Pat McAfee Show. Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers appears to be a 9/11 conspiracy theorist, according to his former backup DeShone Kizer. Rodgers regularly spouts conspiracy theories about Covid, vaccines, UFOs, among other items and is chummy with Robert F. Kennedy Jr., an anti-vaxxer and presidential candidate.
Rodgers spoke out on X in the wake of a CNN report that alleged he floated conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook Elementary School. Independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. has confirmed that among his potential vice-presidential prospects is New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers, who in private has privately endorsed baseless conspiracy theories about the deadly 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.
Bestselling writer Ian O’Connor believes that a Jets Super Bowl win would help make up for Rodgers’s “unforgivable” conspiracy theories and controversial behavior. Rodgers’ path to becoming a conspiracy theorist apparently began with his potential running mate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s uncle John F. Kennedy.

@AaronRodgers12 As I’m on the record saying in the past, what happened in Sandy Hook was an absolute tragedy. I am not and have never been of the opinion that the events did not take place. Again, I hope that we learn from this and other tragedies to identify the signs that will allow us to prevent unnecessary loss of life. My thoughts and prayers continue to remain with the families affected along with the entire Sandy Hook community. ❤
Tbh i really feel bad for jets fans they sign this guy for what they believed would atleast be 2 playoff runs and he was hurt season 1 and was always in the “spotlight” then year 2 this BS is coming out tbh if he didn’t know about it i could say ok but its actually kinda sad that I wouldn’t be surprised if he was tryna be VP and retire from football whatever he’s doing he needs to get his shit together quick so the jets know what they need to do whether that be move up and try for QB3 if he falls or looking into QB4-5
Phyllis George, the sister of Jeff George, one of the greatest passers the NFL has ever seen. OK, I lied. I don’t think they were siblings. But I just wanted to type “Jeff George,” the man with two first names. (It is actually true that Jeff was an incredible passer. Everyone hated him but man, could he throw a football. His mechanics were incredible with both a quick release and strong arm. He was like the Aaron Rodgers of Jeff’s day.)
Do you not think Rodgers knows this Achilles has effectively ended his career and he can’t cash the cheques the Jets organization has been writing? It’s like telling a child he needs to come with you to visit his sick grandma and he kicks up an almighty stink to ensure you don’t take him. Rodgers knows what he’s doing here.
Look I get people don’t want to talk about cOnSpIrIcy tHeORiEs (especially on a sports show) but the bottom line is these issues are worth talking about. There’s PLENTY of reasons why people think the govt & big pharma MIGHT be actively working against us, which is enough to at least TALK about it. I mean hell Florio talks about things that MIGHT be true with only circumstantial evidence all the time, bc it’s his duty to talk about it. If you think these guys are nuts bc they’re “aNtI vAXx” you need to listen to RFK on the Joe Rogan show. In the first 30 mins he explains how he got to be “that vax guy” and the issues he brings up seem pretty reasonable to me. If he’s clearly so egregiously wrong, why has no one debated him EVER on it?? He’s just looking for the truth, it’s not like he’s backed by the Big Alternative Medicine conglomerate. Big Pharma censoring him bc he’s clearly right is BY FAR the simplest explanation in my mind, but I’m open to listening if anyone has a better explanation. We NEED to be able to TALK about cOnSpIRacY tHeOrIes instead oh just saying “oh he’s crazy”, that helps NOBODY
Even though I make fun of Aaron Rodgers, outside of his passing skills as he’s amazing, I’m not convinced he’s a “conspiracy-theory guy.” I mean, either 9/11 was an “inside job” or American officials were asleep at the wheel. There were some profilers who predicted 9/11 and they were completely ignored. But if you have foreigners who take flight lessons who want to know how to fly but couldn’t give a rat’s a-s on how to land, and then buy one-way tickets on a commercial flight later, I’d say that’s one very big red flag.
