Aaron Rodgers casts doubt on NFL's COVID-19 protocols: 'Are we doing all this based on science?'

Aaron Rodgers cast doubt on the wisdom of quarantines at the outset of the COVID-19 pandemic, likening curve-flattening self-isolation efforts to “house arrest.”

On Tuesday, he expressed similar skepticism around the NFL’s COVID-19 safety protocols. In an interview with “The Pat McAfee Show,” Rodgers lamented “big brother spying on you all the time” in reference to the NFL’s increasingly strict COVID protocol oversight.

He started by listing his grievances with league-imposed social distancing efforts at team facilities.
