Kareem Abdul-Jabbar slams Aaron Rodgers for 'directly and deliberately' lying about COVID vaccine [View all]
Longtime NBA legend and outspoken Hall of Famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar joined in on the chorus of sports figures slamming Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers on Monday morning.
Abdul-Jabbar, in a Substack entry titled “Aaron Rodgers Didn’t Just Lie,” ripped Rodgers after he tested positive for COVID-19 and landed in the NFL’s health and safety protocols while unvaccinated — something he had misled the public about for months.
"Rodgers’ ignorance regarding the science of immunology brings back to life the old stereotype of the big dumb jock," Abdul-Jabbar wrote. "His utter lack of even the most basic knowledge and logic is shocking."
Rodgers, Abdul-Jabbar said, “directly and deliberately” lied when he said he was immunized against the coronavirus — and that he hurt the image of professional athletes in general by his actions.
