Apparently, he parsed words when asked earlier in the year whether he had  been vaccinated, responding that he had been “immunized” (a very different thing, which nobody picked up on at the time).

Apparently he just tested positive for the corona cold.

Now they’re going back in time, and noticing that Rodgers has disregarded almost all of the stupid protocols established by the NFL for unvaccinated players, which means Rodgers knows it’s all a bunch of crap.

Even meathead athletes secretly know it’s all a scam, but I had to applaud Rodgers’ Jesuitical distinction (and he had to be laughing inside himself, saying he couldn’t believe it worked):

This is a classic example of a mental reservation.  When there is a serious reason to speak in an ambiguous way, you are basically relying upon the lack of mental agility on the part of your listener.  People who demand to know information, information to which they have no right, and that you don't wish to offer up (or may even be constrained from revealing), really just kind of walk into the situation and, for lack of a better way to put it, deceive themselves.

People can be very pushy and overbearing in demanding information, and if they are deceived, they have it coming to them.  At least we as Catholics (and, FWIW, Aaron Rodgers is not Catholic) fear sinning against Almighty God enough not to tell a lie.  Protestants and others just go ahead and lie.  Which is preferable?  Is there any priority more important than avoiding sin?

I'm glad to see SOME resistance to the global scamdemic.

Unfortunately it's too little, too late, for the most part. 

But who knows? Maybe this will be the beginning of the awakening. We can always hope and pray.

It's actually good to see more of these circus performers coming out and fighting this. Rogers is integral to the Packers money-making machine and he knows it, so, he is now out there speaking his mind on the deception because he knows they won't get rid of him like some lesser player.
Good on him.

Yeah, it's good, but Rodgers is taking zero risk here.  He's 37, probably a couple years from retirement, and worth many millions.  Same with Kyrie Irving.  Big sacrifice.  It's like Our Lord's parable of the widow's mite.  But at least it's getting some press.

It's a different story for those losing their jobs when they rely on each week's paycheck just to pay their bills.

If he doesn't try to "live large" and doesn't get too happy with himself, he could live a fine life by investing "many millions", and never have to work another day in his life.  But very often it doesn't turn out that way.  Multi-million-dollar lottery winners very often end up bankrupt in a few years.

I have a dream, if I ever won the lottery in a big way (i.e., hundreds of millions of dollars), of creating two high schools, "twin academies", one all-male, one all-female, top salaries for the teachers (who would teach in both schools), free tuition, free books, and possibly even free room and board, with a chapel and the Traditional Latin Mass offered daily, mandatory attendance.

I've had similar dreams.  In addition, I would establish businesses to employ Traditional Catholics that would split all the profits among the employees ... on top of paying them a fair living wage (depending on how many children they have).

How refreshing.  A man being paid more, depending on how many children he has to support.  I'd like to see a society where this would just be understood, and accepted by everyone, including workingmen who don't have as many children as the fathers of those large families.  (And it could be an incentive for families to have more children, eh?)

Hey, we pay taxes for welfare mothers who have boatloads of kids, so what's the difference?

I just heard the clip (I learned today of a way to get Global News Channel from Canada, among others, on Roku) and it is a classic mental reservation. 

Only problem is, the world outside of Catholicism doesn't draw that distinction, and they just regard such a mental reservation as a lie, IOW, "intent to deceive = lie".  They couldn't care less that we seek to find a way not to divulge information without actually speaking contrary to our own minds.  There is talk of Rodgers being suspended.

But these criminals commit perjury like there's no tomorrow and get away with it ... Fauci repeatedly lying under oath being just the most recent example.  When the questioning is unjust, and the interrogator has no right to know, it is perfectly acceptable to use mental reservation.

In fact, I absolutely agree with those theologians who hold that the "as far as you're concerned" reservation is also perfectly acceptable.  "No, that person is not hiding in my house." [as far as  you're concerned].  I like the example given by the one theologian.  Let's say you're selling fish at the market and you've run out of fish you want to sell, though you still have some in reserve.  Someone asks, "Do you have any more fish?"  Answer:  "No." .. meaning "no, as far as you are concerned" i.e. no more for sale.  RIGHT TO KNOW is a key element of whether one can use mental reservation.  If the person has no right to the truth, you are absolutely entitled to use it.  "Did you ever commit [this sin]?"  Answer:  "No."  Silence or equivocation could result in the person inferring some information that they have no right to.  Someone is attempting to hunt down a Traditional Catholic hiding in your house.  "Is [the person] here in your house."  Answer:  "No, [the person] is NOT in my house."  Keep silent and the person will immediately know that the person is there.
