Rodgers mentioned increasing unemployment and suicide hotline usage while questioning self-isolating during the coronavirus.
Aaron Rodgers was already dealing with a turbulent offseason thanks to the Green Bay Packers drafting Jordan Love. Like pretty much everyone else in the country, he’s also facing frustrations and fear of the coronavirus pandemic.While talking with reporters on Friday, the Packers quarterback was asked if he believes it’s safe to play football this season. His answer went to some interesting places. “Yeah that’s a good question.
Rodgers goes to great pain to avoid voicing a real opinion there, but deeming self-isolation as “more of a house arrest” mirrors the language of many of those pushing to end stay-at-home mandates, including U.S. Attorney General William Barr and billionaire Elon Musk. Rodgers went onto emphasize the importance of sports and note the country is facing several problems in relation to stay-at-home orders.
“There’s a lot of problems going on in the country right now associated with the fear around this pandemic. I hope that we can use some common sense moving forward and make decisions that are going to be in the best interests of all people moving forward, and I hope that sports is a part of that at some point.”
