Everybody loved hearing my takes on Colin Kaepernick when I said he was one of the top 64 quarterbacks in the league... All of these people were my friends in the media. Until I came about against COVID.

Rodgers attributes media polarization shift to COVID stance, not talent or play.

Rodgers, now Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback, discussed his polarizing media status on Not Just Football with Cam Heyward, attributing the shift in perception to his COVID-related statements. He contrasted his previous media favorability—citing positive reception to his Colin Kaepernick commentary, his response to anti-Muslim rhetoric during Obama's presidency, and a feature by Mina Kimes—with the current lack of benefit of the doubt he receives from those same media figures after taking a stance against COVID protocols.
