I wonder how this shakes out relative to Aaron Rodgers.....

[Chucktownsteeler]

Yea, what about Rodgers?

There have never been any reports about Rodgers faking his status.

Seems to me that this means the team and the league knew about it. Which seems to agree with the reports that Rodgers followed rules for unvaccinated players in the team facilities.

I think that also suggest that the NFL cares more about optics (don't want reigning MVP as the poster boy for the unvaccinated) then they care about their own rules.

Kind of like everyone else making rules re: covid.

Rodgers misled the public, but supposedly not the team or league. Brown allegedly provided the team with a fake passport. Big difference.

[whatever]

I thought ab went on record stating that he had the shots and was willing to get the booster in front of people.

AB lied?

I'm shocked...

I thought ab went on record stating that he had the shots and was willing to get the booster in front of people.

As I understand it, he said he was immunized not vaccinated.

Not sure it's a distinction without a difference, but that is how I heard it. It kinda looks the same to me but what the hell do I know? I stayed at a Holiday Inn Express last night so I guess I can practice law.

By the WHO definition:1
(http://www.who.int/topics/immunization/en/)

• Vaccination employs vaccines (https://www.verywellhealth.com/anti-vaccine-myths-and-misinformation-2633730) to stimulate the body’s own immune system (https://www.verywellhealth.com/how-does-the-immune-system-work-3232652) to protect a person against subsequent infection or disease.
• Immunization is the process wherein a person is made immune or resistant to an infectious disease, typically by the administration of a vaccine.

Very simple. AB unfortunately deceived the NFL, and the Bucs. Rodgers’ status was known to the NFL & the Packers’. He just duped the media. Different situations.. different offenses. This isn’t about race. Just rules

I was going to say the same thing. It’s shocking that AB is a scumbag.

Rodgers misled the public, but supposedly not the team or league. Brown allegedly provided the team with a fake passport. Big difference.

This means that the team and the league misled the public too.

Which seems to me like it should be a big story. Maybe some "well respected" reporter should look into it.

C'mon man. Everyone knows that AB thinks rules are for everybody else but him.

[Oviedo]

Brown has become a real scum bag. Could have had a special legacy but has thrown it away because of ego and greed.

[whatever]

C'mon man. Everyone knows that AB thinks rules are for everybody else but him.

Especially Tomlin

If you had COVID you are immunized but not necessarily vaccinated.
