There is no doubt that Aaron Rodgers is full of opinions , and he recently declared Donald Trump 's MAGA movement dead while also taking aim at the likes of former President Barack Obama , COVID-19, and Colin Kaepernick .
During an appearance on Not Just Football, which is hosted by his Pittsburgh Steelers teammate Cam Heyward , Rodgers went on a lengthy rant .
"There is no MAGA movement; there is no 'Make America Great Again' movement because the guy you elected hasn't done any of his campaign promises," he said, before later criticizing Obama and his failed promises. "When Obama was president, everybody's like, 'Oh, there's gonna be hope and change for a better world.' Has anything in the Black community gotten significantly better? Is anybody better off? Did the Affordable Care Act make a major difference in the world besides being an extra tax for the rich?"

Rodgers doesn't appear to like either president before seemingly alluding to Dr. Anthony Fauci and the COVID-19 pandemic, calling the former an "old bag of bones." He appears to believe that the pandemic was a "multi-trillion-dollar worldwide" experiment conducted "to see how much they can control us."
He also theorized that politics are just a "crazy setup." Rodgers used a quote he remembered: "If voting actually mattered, they wouldn't let you do it."
The Steelers' quarterback thinks we should all be "skeptical" of what politicians tell us. He knows he'll get flak for his opinions, saying that non-NFC North fans who don't like him are upset at him because of his opinions on the COVID-19 vaccine .
Ultimately, Rodgers is going to continue speaking his truth. Earlier in the episode, the Steelers quarterback was asked about what it's like to be a polarizing figure in the NFL. He even mentioned his take on Kaepernick, whom he supported after he protested the National Anthem, saying he was "one of the best 64 quarterbacks" in the league at the time.
