The journalist of The Score Hub Arkush raised Aaron Rodgers’ ire by mentioning that he would not vote for the Green Bay Packers quarterback in his ballot to name the NFL’s MVP.

Rather, this is the reason the member of the media wouldn’t vote for the Pivot, that the vote itself, which put Rodgers in all trouble, was his vaccination status.

“I don’t think you can be the biggest asshole in the league and punish your team and your organization and your fans the way they did and still be the MVP,” said Arkush during his podcast Parkins & Spiegel, Tuesday. Was he the MVP on the pitch? You could use this argument. But I don’t think he was more helpful than Jonathan Taylor, Cooper Kupp, or Tom Brady.

“We are being told to choose the most valuable player for his team. I don’t think it says “only on the pitch” anywhere, although I do believe he harmed his team on the pitch as a result of his actions outside of it. The Packers are going to get the top spot one way or another, but what if the difference had been the famous game against the Chiefs? [de Kansas City], when he lied about his immunization status and they got beaten? ”

Rodgers, who is notorious for having a tongue-in-cheek pocket, especially in the later years, was quick to respond to Arkush’s comments.

“He’s a lousy one. This is the biggest shabby, Rodgers said Wednesday at a press conference. He doesn’t know me. I do not know him. No one knew who he was before these words [mercredi].

“In my opinion, the NFL should ban him from the next votes. His problem isn’t that I’m a bad person or the biggest jerk in the league. His problem is that I am not vaccinated. ”

For the record, Rodgers had mentioned during the training camp of his family, that he was “immune”, without saying if he was vaccinated or not. However, after having to go through the NFL’s COVID-19 protocol, causing him to miss a game, Rodgers admitted to not having received his doses. Rather, he had undergone homeopathic treatments recommended by his personal physician to increase his antibody levels.

Arkush issued a lame apology later Wednesday, not to Rodgers, but rather to the 49 other representatives who are voting to award the prestigious trophy.

“What I find most appalling is that most of the other 49 voters are acquaintances and several of them are even friends, and I put them in an unhappy position where they are going to be asked lots of questions. on this subject. And it’s just not correct and I feel bad for it. I wish that had never happened. The only thing I can do now is respect what I failed to do, which is just not to talk about it until the honors are handed out. “

Rodgers is on the hunt for a fourth career MVP title, one who earned the honor in 2011, 2014 and most recently, 2020.
