The Jets quarterback has recently faced backlash for controversial remarks on the 9/11 terror attacks, Covid vaccines, and the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting. The Onion asked football fans what they thought about Aaron Rodgers spreading conspiracy theories, and this is what they said.
“He should have the decency to at least make his conspiracy theories about football—like how the ball is trying to read his mind or how goalposts don’t actually exist.”
“The primary symptom of CTE is incoherent babbling about the dangers of vaccines.”
“This is going to make things so awkward when he gets traded to the Newtown Knights.”
“Wow, I’d expect that sort of insanity from someone whose vaccinated mind is under the control of Pfizer, but Aaron Rodgers?”
“It’s helpful for the students to hear about child crisis actors from a secondary source, because my repeated threats to textbook manufacturers continue to go ignored.”
“I, for one, applaud Rodgers for speaking his truth even if it hurts untold numbers of people.”
“That’s 2028 President-elect Aaron Rodgers to you.”
“I’m frankly fed up with Rodgers stigmatizing hardworking American civil servants like myself who just want to mill around in the woods outside mass shootings.”
“I don’t care, as long as he doesn’t think anything too crazy, like that the earth is round.”
“You’d have to be pretty gullible to believe there’s really an Aaron Rodgers.”
“Sounds good!”
“Ugh. Tell me about it. We were imprisoned in the same FEMA camp, and he wouldn’t shut the fuck up.”
“I was really hoping to get my Sandy Hook conspiracy theories from someone I trust, like Tom Brady.”
“I also don’t believe in Sept. 11. Just open a calendar. It skips straight from Sept. 10 to Sept. 12.”
“So when Alex Jones says this stuff, he’s a monster, and when Aaron Rodgers says it, he’s also a monster? I don’t get it.”
“Jeez, he needs to apologize to those crisis actors ASAP.”
“Hey, he’s just relaying what the mysterious being of light told him on an ayahuasca trip.”
“It’s messed up for him to out me and the other child impersonators. It’s hard enough stuffing ourselves inside of skinsuits and pretending to be children without someone like him on our cases.”
“I know a guy who’s taken a few bricks to the dome when I see one.”
“As a longtime Aaron Rodgers fan, I’m really skeptical that he would say anything like that.”
“I’m sure he doesn’t really believe Sandy Hook was staged. He’s probably just trying to impress RFK Jr.”
“I think his Achilles injury was the Illuminati trying to punish him for telling the truth.”
