Aaron Rodgers donates $500K to small business aid fund

MILWAUKEE - Aaron Rodgers threw an NFL-leading 48 touchdown passes for the Green Bay Packers. But it's what he did off the field that may be his most important play of the season.

In an interview with Barstool Sports founder Dave Portnoy, posted to Instagram on Friday, Jan. 8, the quarterback pledged a $500,000 donation to The Barstool Fund.

The Barstool Fund was created to collect donations for small business owners in need of help due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Rodgers' donation matches Portnoy's contribution to the fund, which has raised more than $21 million as of Friday.
