There were a lot of NFL fans who were critical of quarterback Aaron Rodgers not getting the COVID shot. Many Americans stood with him and agreed with him about the situation. Many people were also upset with what Dr. Anthony Fauci did last week in a Senate hearing. He pleaded the fifth every time he was asked about COVID-19. There were many Americans who were upset with him, and many believe that he should be in jail.

Rodgers was on the Pat McAfee Show on Monday. This is going to be his final season in the NFL with the Pittsburgh Steelers. The Steelers star quarterback took shots at Fauci and said,

“I’m gonna plead the 5th. Like that absolute coward Tony Fauci. Absolute coward. Are you kidding me? What are you scared of Tony? I thought you were science?”

This is not the first time that Rodgers has unloaded about topics like this. Many NFL fans loved this and some NFL fans hated with what he said. Rodgers is not the first person to mock Fauci for pleading the fifth.
