MLK suffered prison and worse to make us a better country. Rodgers wouldn't even wear a mask.

Asked if he was vaccinated, “Yeah”, he lied.

Now he’s lying about that lie. He cites the facts that both the Packers and the NFL knew he was unvaccinated, as an affirmative defense to his violation of the league protocol for unvaccinated players.

If, despite its complicity, the NFL dares to discipline Rodgers and the Packers as it has other players and teams deemed non compliant with COVID 19 protocols, expect a lawsuit exponentially nastier than Deflategate.

From the Daily Beast:
“You have a moral obligation to object to unjust rules and rules that make no sense,” Rogers said, in the process misquoting MLK, who wrote in a 1963 letter from the Birmingham, Alabama jail, “One has not only a legal, but a moral responsibility to obey just laws. Conversely, one has a moral responsibility to disobey unjust laws.”

There is no “law” requiring NFL players to get vaccinated, nor is there a league-wide vaccine mandate. There are, however, COVID protocols that all unvaccinated players must follow.”

immunity-compromised fan in his presence.

... what would Kojak do ? Columbo ? Vince Lombardi ? Sally Yates ?

Unjust ??

The Packers game live on TV should be interesting. interviews with fans, opposing players, doctors, former sponsors.

Those within the Packers organization and the NFL who knew he was lying and looked away and did nothing should also suffer the consequences of their actions. Whether that will happen not is the question.
