While admitting that sanitation measures are necessary and have so far been effective in limiting outbreaks of COVID-19 cases, Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers questioned the consistency of the protocol in place.
The 36-year-old pivot has indeed questioned the usefulness of social distancing with members of his own team, especially after several hours of close and repeated contact in training.
“You can go practice and hit each other and be in close contact, but you have to have plexiglass between you and the guy next to you in the locker room. I just think of some of those things to me that just don’t make sense, ”Rodgers told the show. The Pat McAfee Show, mardi.
“I just think there is a double standard. You can hug a guy after the game, but you can’t eat at the same table as a teammate. ”
In fact, the impossibility of being able to hold team dinners is one of the aspects that Rodgers finds the most difficult since he believes that these shared meals are always beneficial for the team spirit.
“A part [de ces mesures] are definitely for looks, part of it is probably science based, but that definitely changed the season for sure. ”
“I know a lot of people don’t give any credibility or [se soucient] not chemistry, but I think it’s really important. ”
The situation does not seem too bad for the Packers, however, who sit first in the National Association’s North section by a 6-2 record.
