State Farm Makes Decision on Aaron Rodgers Following His Anti-Vaccine Comments

State Farm is finally talking Aaron Rodgers.

Most people get the vaccine as insurance, you know,  just in case you contract COVID-19.

Not Aaron Rodgers, who is about making money off selling insurance, but clearly not a fan of insurance in real life.

Green Bay Packers quarterback and company pitchman Aaron Rodgers’s job with State Farm is safe for now. The Insurance company released a statement.

“Aaron Rodgers has been a great ambassador for our company for much of the past decade,” a company spokeswoman said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports Monday morning.

“We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues. Our mission at State Farm is to support safer, stronger communities. To that end, we encourage vaccinations, but respect everyone’s right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances.”

Not surprised at State Farm’s decision, they’ve invested way too much time and money into Rodgers.

It will probably take a few more dumb comments from Rodgers before he really forces their hand.
