F***ing gone,\u201d said the four-time NFL MVP.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI mean our favorite restaurants in LA, in New York, and across the country, not just in big cities, but some crazy percentage will never open again,\u201d the quarterback added. \u201cWhy? What are we doing for them?\u201d he asked.<\/p>\n<p>He also shared a similar sentiment during his recent appearance on Spotify\u2019s \u201cThe Joe Rogan Experience\u201d podcast. \u201cJoe [Rogan], they closed the beaches in California.

You know, they were asking a bunch of big quarterbacks and some guys were saying, \u2018it\u2019s personal\u2019 or whatever.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI had come to the conclusion that I was going to say, \u2018I\u2019ve been immunized,\u2019 and if there was a follow-up, then talk about my process. But I thought there was a possibility that I say I\u2019m immunized, maybe they understand what that means, maybe they don\u2019t, maybe they follow up. They didn\u2019t follow up. So then I go [into] the season, them thinking, some of them, that I was vaccinated,\u201d Rodgers added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Aaron Rodgers, the quarterback of the Green Bay Packers, slammed California mandates pushed by mostly Democrats that resulted in small businesses being destroyed.
