So cool that the NFL effectively blacklisted Colin Kaepernick for his racial justice stances. But Aaron Rodgers can spout reckless conspiracies about HIV, Sandy Hook, etc, and continue to be one of the highest-paid players in the league.
Aaron Rodgers falsely suggests that Dr. Fauci created HIV with the help of the U.S. government.
