Most hated in America
From a successful poster boy, Aaron Rogers has become one of the most rejected figures in the U.S. in the past week, after it was revealed that he deceived the NFL by claiming he was vaccinated and exposing his teammates to infection.

"Ark Rogers is an idiot. I would throw him out of the league now. If I were the NFL commissioner. If there was some fairness in this world, I would kick him along with that guy who smashed the vehicle at 153 miles per hour."
The "guy" is Henry Raggs III, Auckland's catcher who was responsible for the death of a woman and her dog, to which we will return later. The speaker, popular radio broadcaster Howard Stern, focused most of the fire on Aaron Rogers, the Green Bay Packers quarterback, one of the biggest stars in the past two decades in the NFL. Last week, Rogers was diagnosed with Corona and admitted for the first time that he had not been vaccinated. This, after during the summer he was asked on the subject and answered "I am immunized", a word that means in translation is indeed "vaccinated", but not necessarily as a result of an injection.
Was Rogers really vaccinated?
of course not.
In a weekend interview on Pat McAfee's show, the quarterback defended himself, explaining that he was not "some vaccine opponent who believes the world is flat, but one who asks questions."
Some of the questions he referred to actor Joe Rogan, who himself has already been crushed by Stern due to his opposition to vaccines.
Rogers' rhetoric was similar to Rogan's: "Right will crown me and left will dismiss me, but I don't care about all this shit. I just want people to have control over their bodies."
The quarterback further claimed that on Rogan's advice he took seemingly preventative preparations, such as those not approved by the NFL, and that he was allergic to Pfizer & Moderna's vaccines and did not believe in the Johnson & Johnson vaccine.

Annoyed a lot of people.

This ancient debate is not new, but in the case of Rogers it is significant. "Scientists are fighting a new source of misinformation: The Rogers Ark," the New York Times headline read yesterday. The actor himself, who in the spring was a serious candidate to present the popular show "Jafardi", claims he was "cross-examined by the media" when comparisons to Kyrie Irving, the symbol of vaccine opponents, were not long in coming.
Need to understand: NFL players are not allowed to get vaccinated. Not desirable, but they can do so if they follow the leagues of the unvaccinated league. Carson Wentz of the Indianapolis Colts and Kirk Cousins of the Minnesota Vikings are two of the top players who have announced their unwillingness to get vaccinated. Despite the criticism, they did not hide their intentions. With Rogers the story is more complex. He was not vaccinated but immunized, and followed "my own protocols," as he put it, endangering his teammates.
Rogers will not be suspended, but the league is expected to fine him and the Packers.
The protocols of unvaccinated players include daily checking, wearing a mask while they are in the training complex, wearing a device that helps monitor their movements and a ban on eating with their friends.
Of course he did not do all this.
Meanwhile, he's getting a windfall from the insurance company State Pharm which is its presenter.
"He was a great ambassador for us. We encourage vaccines, but respect the individual's choice of body."

Vaccinated or not vaccinated?
Ark Rogers was found positive for Corona and caused a stir
Rogers endangers people in theory, but last week in the NFL was also the one who took a life on a particularly practical and cruel level. The Las Vegas Raiders catcher Henry Rags drove at 156 miles per hour last week - more than 200 mph on city streets. A few seconds later it slowed slightly to 127 miles, but collided with the back of a Toyota car. There was resentment in that vehicle. Tintor, 23, and her dog. they were killed after the vehicle caught fire.
it turned out that Rags, 22, drove drunk, and now he is accused of four counts and out of jail as punishment may reach 46 years. the human tragedy even thousands of times on this Sporty, but for the Raiders it's a very tough twist for the season, with Las Vegas opening with a 2: 5 balance, on the eve of an easy away game on paper against the New York Giants.
The Rags affair, a first-round pick in the 2020 draft, rocked the club, the Raiders lost to the Giants, but the same draft continued to haunt them. Corner defender Damon Arnett was also selected last year in the first round. Arnett was seen in a video on Tiktok holding a weapon and threatening an anonymous person. The group announced tonight that it is releasing him as well. All this after coach John Groden was fired following a series of emails of a racist, merging and homophobic nature that he sent to Washington GM Bruce Allen.
How will the Raiders' season develop? She would not be ideal, probably. The AFC West is particularly crowded, all the teams in it with a positive balance and Kansas City, which has weakened in recent years, is no longer dominant. The problem is that such extreme events can shake an entire season. Judging by the past week on and off the field, this time it's not worth betting on Vegas.
On the field it was actually a good week for the NFL, with a lot of upheavals and surprises. The most notable sensation was recorded in Jacksonville, where the weak Jaguars held Josh Allen and Palo without a touchdown and won 6: 9.
The Bills problem is not spotty. Buffalo, who reached the AFC finals last year, has been nominated as a sure candidate to take the East House this season as well. By the time she went to rest at week 7 she was in a frenzy. Excluding the 23:16 loss to Pittsburgh in the first round, the Bills scored over 30 points in each of their next five games. In Week 8, against Miami, known as Cricket. Buffalo stretched for long minutes and decided the match just three and a half minutes to go, with a field goal raised to 11:20, en route to a 11:26 victory. She paid the price for the counterfeit on Sunday in Florida.
Buffalo's leading runner on Sunday was Allen, the quarterback, with 50 yards.
Also in the win over Miami it was Allen, with 55 yards.
Let go of the fact that the numbers per se are low, when your lead runner is not one of the natural back runners you know you are in trouble.
At the level of principle the Bills are yet to make a debut in this house, but New England are starting to make legitimate group votes, and nothing is unequivocal anymore.
There are creaks.

Did we say it was a successful week for the league?
Yes, until tonight's game.
The display of judgment in the meeting between Pittsburgh and Chicago was a disgrace.
In every loss the Bears have a lot of reasons to blame themselves, but this time the game was completely decided by the Zebras.
A series of offenses against Chicago brought the Steelers back to business.
Problem: A large portion of these offenses were not and were not created.
The Bears' great fury was directed at the referees' flag over Cassius Marsh's "provocation" after stopping the Steelers' third down.
That call allowed Pittsburgh to advance to a field goal and climb to a 20:26 lead near the end, instead of passing the ball into Chicago’s hands.
The move turned out to be particularly significant at the end (the Steelers won 27:29 from another field goal), and he was not the only one where the Bears were deprived.
The argument of Tony Corente, the referee who threw down the flag: "There is a special emphasis this year on provocations in the league. I saw the Chicago player run towards the Pittsburgh bench in the way I felt he was provoking them."
Okay, with feelings hard to argue with, but we'll try anyway.
You will judge.
