As a result of Rodgers and his colleagues’ insubordination, the NFL also fined the Green Bay Packers.

Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 earlier this month.

Following his diagnosis, the athlete revealed he was “immunized” but not vaccinated.

He has since been on the receiving end of backlash for being anti-vax.
