Rodgers' McAfee appearance creates distraction; McCarthy's stance on media limits unclear.
Rodgers made a high-profile appearance on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday, airing grievances and criticizing ESPN and Dr. Anthony Fauci. The Steelers organization issued a statement supporting his right to express personal views on culture and politics. However, the source notes that coach Mike McCarthy's stance on the distraction remains unclear. Last year under former coach Mike Tomlin, Rodgers did not appear on McAfee's show during the season, breaking from his prior habit of Tuesday appearances; the source suggests Tomlin persuaded Rodgers to restrict media appearances to league-required press conferences. The source speculates that if Tomlin were still coaching, Rodgers likely would not have made this public appearance.
