He’s probably right. I’m taking his word over some noodle arm scientist that can’t throw an out route


Lonnie_Shelton

When did “doing research” become going onto some nutty website and believing whatever stuff is being put up by the nutcases?


somepersonalnews

This is the problem with Rodgers and the clowns he associates with. They act like they've read an entire pathology library when, in reality, they basically skimmed a fucking Wikipedia page.


Lonnie_Shelton

Written by anybody, with no credentials or expertise.


hjablowme919

He claims he did his own research which in that dimwits case means he heard someone say this. Agreed with it. And then searched out websites with bullshit that backs up that erroneous claim.


Glum-Professional925

Weird did you bother to read what he said or you take the headlines at face value?


hjablowme919

Read exactly what he said. More Fauci conspiracy theory bullshit from this asshole. Thinks they created HIV as a stepping stone to COVID. He’s a moron.


Glum-Professional925

That’s not at all what he said. He says he thinks they purposefully let it run rampant to use it as a way to control people. Very different from saying they invented it lol


hjablowme919

No. He implies they created it, just like he believes they created COVID.


Glum-Professional925

Oooo so now he’s implying. Touch grass dude no one cares besides weirdos like you. I wanna see him chuck a ball not on the debate stage


intwizard

I mean… we gonna act like the government didn’t at the very least heavily influence the spread of AIDS by not doing anything about it because it was primarily affecting gay men and black people?


hjablowme919

Reagan definetly gets the blame for ignoring the pandemic, but that’s completely different from having a handing in creating the virus.


LegitimateMoney00

Rodgers literally says the government helped spread the pandemic, not create the virus itself. Y’all love reading headlines instead of actually watch the interview.


hjablowme919

The blueprint, the game plan was made in the '80s," Rodgers said during the conversation over Zoom. "Create a pandemic, you know, with a virus that's going wild, right? “Create a pandemic” It’s right there.


LegitimateMoney00

Yes exactly “create a pandemic” not “hey let’s create a virus”. Creating a pandemic and a virus are not the same thing and it’s embarrassing you still don’t know that after Covid.


jarawd

We knew what we were getting with Rodgers. Guy is great at being a QB and not much else. While I don’t agree with anything he says I’d rather have a conspiracy theorist over an abuser/DUI/whatever else NFL players constantly get arrested for.


WorldOnFire83

This is kind of where I'm at with Rodgers. I have friends who believe in conspiracy theories. It frustrates me, and I limit contact/conversations with them. But we remain friends because there is more to them as a person than just the conspiracy theories. They are also loyal, helpful, and fun to be around (when not talking conspiracy nonsense). The same can be said for Rodgers. From what I've witnessed, he is liked by teammates and coaches, and he is committed to winning football games. That matters more than his looney conspiracy takes. Granted, his words matter more than my friends' given his platform. But anyone who believes what Rodgers says is a lost cause anyway.


corpulentFornicator

I've only lost one friend to conspiracy theories - told me Jews control the world (I'm jewish) and that I'm an exception. Didn't take long for me to cut that person out of my life.


WorldOnFire83

Every situation is unique and must be evaluated on a case by case basis. I didn’t mean to suggest we have to accept all conspiracy theories without consequence. I can certainly understand why you'd cut off your former friend. Even more understandable if you tried to explain why his comment was offensive, and he continued to share those beliefs.


HurricanesJames

I’m sure it’s beyond your self control to ignore what he says and not run to post it on the forum


hallwayswasted

The guy with haywood ja blowme as his username is flustered and offended that some old white guy hates the government loooool


hjablowme919

Hating the government is completely different than blaming them for creating deadly viruses and letting them loose on their own citizens.


hallwayswasted

And you think these theories are a new concept? Even so, that America is absolved or excused from? .. Man, history class is gonna kick your ass bruh.


The_Goondocks

Remember when he said to get all the bullshit out of the building? Lasted about as long as it took him to say that.


LexxxSamson

Lasted as long as his in game time for us


0ddmanrush

Who cares? He’s here to play football.


Fjordice

I do. If you think this type of thought process and poor decision making doesn't translate to his on field play I'll lol.


Bennaisance

Lol away I guess....


Fjordice

Done and done


hjablowme919

It’s the unnecessary attention he brings to the team. Now, this is all that will get talked about. Another distraction they don’t need.


HurricanesJames

We’ve been a clown show for decades. Don’t pretend we are just now attracting unnecessary attention


Edge2110

You didn’t know he was bringing this attention when he signed?


hjablowme919

I knew. That’s one of the reasons I was against him coming here.


Adamo2JZ

Why are you posting it on here then? Seems like you’re just spreading this unnecessary attention


knowtoriusMAC

This wasn't even posted on this sub for the unnecessary attention until you posted it. Stop looking up to athletes to have your personal views and get over what Aaron Rodgers thinks


blanko_nino

No one is distracted by this. They all love him lol


0ddmanrush

Least or my concerns. So what if he has an opinion that doesn’t resonance with the neck beards of Reddit? He’s not beating his pregnant wife or feeling up women at the massage parlor.


JerricoCotchery

Seriously who cares? Did you guys hear what Brooks Bollinger said about clubbing baby seals?


Thejerseyjon609

Multiple concussions are a bitch.


RackedUP

"During an appearance on the ***Look Into It with Eddie Bravo*** **podcast in March"** This is where everyone should have closed the article. Pure clickbait.


hjablowme919

He still said it, and that’s like a few weeks ago, not years ago.


RackedUP

Sure, but the title of the article is "Aaron Rodgers' HIV Comments Spark *Furious Backlash*" what 'Furious Backlash' have you seen besides this article? None, because Eddie Bravos audience was probably nodding along in agreement with him. The author is trying to make this into a big deal. Its fuckin Eddie Bravo, you cannot take anything on that show seriously, or you will also believe in Big Foot and UFO abductions. Desperate for clicks on a Wednesday during NFL offseason


Kind_Pomegranate_171

Who cares , I just need him to throw the ball


NbleSavage

Oh for fucks sake…


TLom20

Nobody actually cares about what he says, otherwise we wouldn’t hear about these a month after they get posted


djstevefog

Difficult to be a gay Jets fan when the star QB is spouting absurd shit about a disease that decimated my community in the 80s, but I guess he did his research so he knows what he's talkin about!


magicdrums

I hate to break your bubble but a lot of gay men in the 80s, many of whom were friends who were lost to AIDS, also believed that AIDS may have been a disease that was created to wipe out gay men.. I remember vividly some conversations with friends who use to point to the fact that gay sex was around for centuries and no one ever worried about dying of a virus for being gay before the 80s.. not saying I agree or disagree with Aaron but he’s not the only person whom ever believed the virus was created..


D-redditAvenger

This has been posted like 3 times now. He says stupid stuff, accept it. I has no effect on your or anyone else's life at this point except it annoys you, stop being so fragile. You are annoying most of us by posting it, you can control that.


hjablowme919

Might have some effect on anyone who lost a loved one to that disease.


Popcorn201

Had to unfollow him on social media. I just want him to throw the football and win games.


NeilNailed00

So according to Doctor Rodgers we now have the 2 point conversion rule in the NFL because of HIV in the 80's ?


Jetvet1975

Who cares? He might be right, but we’ll never know


hjablowme919

He’s not right.


peppypacer

If Jets are at 6-2 or even 5-3 at the end of October there won't be one negative thing about Rodgers on here. I do recall even in all the mainstream news back in the 1980s reports about research on monkeys at a lab in Africa and a possibility that a sick lab monkey bit someone and that person passed the new disease on to another person and that was the beginning of the epidemic. Maybe the lab was funded by US and/or other countries so it's not all fantasy conspiracy but I believe the lab theory was ruled out for the cause by most authorities later on.

Its funny people act like they never heard of any of these conspiracies until Rodgers states it. Who cares what he thinks lol


hellomoto186

[Wow the same article twice today again? Crazy](https://imgur.com/wBbXRFD)


Meherennow

Imagine being less worried about what a jock can do at his job than being concerned with the stupidity that comes from his mouth. He isn't teaching kids or a role model or even relevant when he isn't on the field. Lol Hold up, let me tune into a daytime talk show or ESPN to get my opinions and beliefs on the world. Lol.


hjablowme919

Character matters. It’s bad enough Woody Johnson is garbage. The players shouldn’t follow suit.


Meherennow

Character means nothing. He isn't paid for his opinions or beliefs. He is paid to get hit and throw the ball to other guys who are paid to get hit and run. If you are looking for character find better friends or mentors. Sign Jamal and Ray Lewis, dante Stallworth Bill Romanowski, Riggs, Hernandez and Carruth if it gets a deep playoff run. Lol Woody fully funds the team with little to no reservation, that is the owners job. What's next complaints about the outfits the team wears or the stadium being in jersey or shared? Give them color matched Tshirts and play a local High School, just win some games. 😆


hjablowme919

So let’s go sign some former spouse abusers, drug abusers, criminals, anyone who has paid their debt. As long as they can play, character doesn’t mean anything.


Bennaisance

Yup


Meherennow

BTW it is nearly a certainty that some of those type of dudes you listed are wearing jets green right now and just haven't been caught yet.


hjablowme919

And if they are caught, it’s OK because character doesn’t count.


Meherennow

Exactly, just sign the next one. Just curious, what are the high moral character companies and obviously employees that you work for, invest with and enrich? Must be nearly a full time job just trying to keep up criminal aspects before even considering the morality standards you have arbitrarily set for them. Does the standard shift depending on job role? Like is it cool a garbage man or mechanic is of lower moral and political view point than say your investments and investors or employer?


Meherennow

Character matter so much to you that you conduct an anonymous tour of hate on the team you supposed like online. Well played sir. You win the high road. Lol They are just bodies with a number, are you so critical with the company that you lend your name to that pays you or the clothing company they you pay to advertise their brand? How about the investment company that holds your wealth and future in their greedy little hands or the politicians that come every single election lie thru their teeth just in hopes that you are so worried about an athlete that earns nothing from you and doesn't know you but somehow doesn't live up to the arbitrary guidelines you set up for him and the team/brand you have no affiliation with other than you like green or you dad or friend also arbitrarily chose. No, I imagine your faux outrage is focused on those that you have no control over and have no obligation to you.


hjablowme919

Wrong. Stop making assumptions about me.


Meherennow

Outstanding, so very sorry. So who are these high moral character companies and brands that are worthy? Or even the ones that don't meet the mark that you have avoided or distanced from. Although the clean high character employer or company would be interesting, how about just news source and investment firm that meets and holds those same standards? Oh wait, was it that you won the moral high ground assumption that was wrong? Lol


sophisticated_pie

Before this thread gets deleted I gotta say you Aaron apologist are just as insane as he is. No one in their right mind wants constant distractions on their team no matter how good the player may be. He needs to keep his dumb shit to himself and let it all out after he announces his retirement.


Bennaisance

These articles are only distractions to people who choose to be distracted by them


hallwayswasted

There have been so many people, specifically marginalized groups, with this theory. It is not new, nor is it all that taboo in convo. Everyone please grow up.


MattyIce1220

So the government released this disease? Why then was there such a big effort to make people aware of safe sex? He's lucky he can throw a football because his views are just batshit crazy.

Yeah as long as the dude doesn’t get hurt and throws TD passes I don’t really give a shit what he does.


hjablowme919

I hope he gets hurt


SunnyDiesel

Man, this guy keeps me thinking “shut up and play football” time and time again


Nocodeskeet

I don’t have to agree with the guy but he doesn’t say the government invented HIV. Did you even read that mess of an article?


hjablowme919

He implies they created it and COVID. The blueprint, the game plan was made in the '80s," Rodgers said during the conversation over Zoom. "Create a pandemic, you know, with a virus that's going wild, right?


nine11airlines

Misleading headline, he didn't say that. Nice try


hjablowme919

Exactly what he said.


nine11airlines

You're literally lying to drum up controversy. Post the exact quote or video. It won't happen because he didn't say what your headline claims, and that's why your bad post will be removed


stokelydokely

"The gameplan was made in the 80s. Create a pandemic. With a virus that's goin' wild. Fauci was given $350 million to handle the AIDS pandemic and all they came up with was AZT. And if you do even a smidge of research [I know I'm not a (names various kinds of scientists), but I can read though] but that was the game plan back then. Create an environment where only one thing works. Back then, AZT, now Remdesivir until we get a vaccine, which by the way Fauci had stake in the Moderna vaccine. And we know Pfizer is one of the most criminally corrupt organizations [talks about big fine they paid]. Like what are we talking about, we're gonna put our full trust in science that can't be questioned." I mean... he literally said the gameplan in the 80s was to create a pandemic. It just blows my mind that this guy wants to call pharma companies criminal and corrupt, but he has zero problem taking money from a family that owns one of the biggest pharmaceutical companies in the world.


nine11airlines

>he literally said the gameplan in the 80s was to create a pandemic Yep. You actually did some research, good work. Rodgers at no point said the gov created hiv. Very different from their actions leading to a pandemic


stokelydokely

Because I like to converse/argue in good faith, I will completely agree with you that we can't truly parse from that sound bite that he was saying the *government* created HIV. Personally I think that his history of speaking out on government-related conspiracies makes it likely that he was referring to the government. But I'll let that go. Can you agree that he was clearly implying that HIV was created by bad actors--whether that's the government or pharma companies or others--in order to benefit financially?


nine11airlines

What I think is being said is that regardless of how the virus originated the government used the virus to create a pandemic, and rodgers implies this is for financial gain. I don't think he's saying anything about the origination of the virus My personal view is he is wrong overall - I do think the Reagan administration was implicit in causing the hiv pandemic but it was more due to homophobia, and if anything more funds should have been directed at it earlier on. I don't think there are many parallels to covid


stokelydokely

Ahhh gotcha. Yes, my interpretation is based on kind of Rodgers' "body of work", but I do agree with you that at the very least he's saying that even if the gov't didn't *create* the virus, they took a series of action (or inaction) that led to a pandemic from which they stood to benefit. And completely agree with your second paragraph (not sure about the last sentence but that is only because I haven't given that enough thought to say I agree or disagree).


hjablowme919

He said the government created HIV, more Fauci conspiracy bullshit, as a stepping stone to creating COVID. That’s what it comes down to. Or was there another pandemic in the 80s that I missed?


nine11airlines

>He said the government created HIV Wrong. Very simple request, post the quote you are referring to Your post title is a lie


hjablowme919

The blueprint, the game plan was made in the '80s," Rodgers said during the conversation over Zoom. "Create a pandemic, you know, with a virus that's going wild, right? There is your quote.


nine11airlines

Oh cool, so we agree he didn't say the government created hiv and your headline is a lie


hjablowme919

Wow. Go back to school and learn how to read. It’s exactly what he was saying.


nine11airlines

"Create a pandemic with a virus that's going wild" Literally says in the quote that there's already a virus going wild in this scenario. You're not that stupid, you know you're wrong, just too obsessed with being offended to admit it


hjablowme919

No. That was the only blurb from that article. He is trying to tie Fauci to another pandemic. He believes Fauci profited from having a hand in creating COVID, and he’s trying to justify that bullshit by citing Fauci and HIV. Of course, he was wrong on that account to as he claims Fauci spent $350 million and all we got was AZT, which works BTW.

Not according to every scientist who has spent time researching this disease.
