NFL standout and quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, Aaron Rodgers, recently engaged in a conversation with comedian Bill Maher on Maher’s latest podcast, Club Random.
Rodgers has emerged as a vocal critic of the so-called “woke movement” and has been critical of several California politicians, whom he views as inconsistent. When questioned about the state of California, Rodgers remarked,
“California is facing some challenges, but I’m holding on. I come from a small town in Chico, California, and while we’ve had relatively few COVID cases, many small businesses have struggled or even closed.
A substantial number of people believe in individual autonomy when it comes to medical decisions.”
Rodgers expressed his concerns regarding the existence of standards, in society. He acknowledged that the listener shared worries. Specifically, he drew attention to the focus on the topic of abortion, especially following the overturning of Roe v. Wade and its subsequent return to state decision-making.
In Rodgers’s viewpoint, he believed that the government should not dictate personal choices concerning one’s body.
While he personally leaned towards being pro-life he strongly opposed any government interference in decisions related to enjoying a cigar consuming alcohol or making healthcare choices.
Moreover, he emphasized that if he were a woman having control over her choices without influence would be crucial to him/her.
Regardless of agreement or disagreement, with these choices, Rodgers firmly believed that preserving individual liberties was important. Consequently, he advocated against any restrictions imposed by the government.
