(805 posts)but I think the NFL, with a lot of other image problems (Gruden, Ruggs, Watson, coaching diversity, etc, etc), Aaron is going to get thrown out with the rest of the rubbish. He lied/deceived the NFL, the team, the fans, and put other players' health at risk. I don't think the NFL wants to weather that.
I don't think State Farm will put up with that either.

(28,845 posts)Coward lies and then blames imaginary cancel culture.
Much more respect if he had just said he wasnt taking it and take the consequences like a real man.

I liked him up until this. Seemed like a smart guy.
Now, I actually have more respect for Tom Brady who I couldn't stand for years.

(47,602 posts)without using sound bites and prepackaged right-wing talking points? As soon as I hear "woke" or "cancel culture", I tune out, because whatever I am going to hear will probably not be an original thought or idea. Just Xerox copies of what someone heard on TV or social media.

(11,744 posts)I wish someone would ask any one of these idiots who go out and use stupid buzzwords....
What is the "woke mob" or simply, what is "woke"?
What is "cancel culture"?
What is socialism?
Can you pleased define to me what Critical Race Theory is and where exactly it is being taught?
Here is a clip that illustrates exactly what you are talking about. I don't think that Rodgers would have any better understanding of "woke" or "cancel culture" as this guy does about CRT.

(47,602 posts)You know, if a person disagrees with something, fine, but tell me why. And if they really don't know why, then just say, "I don't know".
"Buzzwords" is the word I was looking for! Thanks.

(33,643 posts)Cal Berkeley grads always get love from me until proven otherwise. My stepdad completed his Engineering degree there (after Annapolis). And I just generally love Berkeley
Overall however, this will likely play okay in Green Bay.

(29,676 posts)Reports are that fans in GB are pissed. It doesn't matter their views on covid. Not being vaccinated messed with their possible Super Bowl run. Football is a religion and in WI that religion is the Packers. You mess with it and the fans get pissed.

(117 posts)With all the commercial contracts he has, he should of just apologized and then kept his mouth shut and ridden out. He might as well say good by to State Farm. And the old adage "when a man tells you who he is, believe him the first time".

I liked both of them until this. If hes gonna take this belligerent approach, she probably will too. And the next thing we know theyll be QAnon darlings.

MagickMuffin
(15,952 posts)You decide not to get vaccinated, then tried your lies about it, then possibly in infecting your teammates and possibly other teams as well and Refs, and anyone else within a short distance, with all your spitting out call signals, spitting out Gatorade and just plain ole spitting.
Now you're being a whiney-ass snowflake.
Oh and I hope Green Bay loses on Sunday without you.
Caliman73
(11,744 posts)You are probably not a Green Bay fan, but it would actually be better if the team won without Rodgers to show that they actually don't need him.
Then all pretense for his importance would be debunked.

(16,829 posts)I love a natural way to heal. You can do something called oil pulling where you swish coconut or sesame oil in your mouth when you wake up and spit it out. Its amazing! It really makes your teeth whiter, because the plaque on your teeth is not water soluble, its fat-soluble. So the lipids have to dissolve in fats, which is why oil works in your mouth. I prefer sesame oil, but theyre both good.
Another thing I like to do is give my vagina a little vitamin D. [Laughs] I was reading an article written by an herbalist I studied about yeast infections and other genital issues. She said theres nothing better than vitamin D. If youre feeling depleted, go in the sun for an hour and see how much energy you get. Or, if you live in a place that has heavy winters, when the sun finally comes out, spread your legs and get some sunshine. [Laughs]

(16,457 posts)For example, clay is one of the best things you can put in your body. One of my friends was making a clay toothpaste that you swallow instead of spit out. But I first heard about the benefits of eating clay from a taxi driver.
Oh well. She was great in The Descendants.

(512 posts)I had a short teaching stint at Chico State. I was so happy to be up in very north Northern California amongst the trees and mountains. Unfortunately, the racists rednecks up there didnt like me as much. I always tell people I feel much safer visiting relatives in the Deep South than I do way up in Northern California. Its absolutely beautiful country- but creepy, scary militant redneck fucks ruin it.

Fuck these whiny ass mother fuckers that think that they can do whatever the fuck they want and nobody else is supposed to care about it.
Damn I am so tired of this shit.
