Aaron Rodgers Gets Called a “Hypocrite” by Ryan Clark

There are no indications that the contentious exchange between New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers and ESPN analyst Ryan Clark will end. Rodgers’ recent comments regarding sports commentators on The Pat McAfee Show set off the feud, which has since grown into a discussion about on-field performance, hypocrisy, and the vaccine controversy.

Rodgers first chastised former players who became analysts for using divisive language to enhance their post-career profiles. Clark retaliated, calling Rodgers a “hypocrite” for making paid appearances on McAfee’s show to express his views, without naming specifics.

Aaron Rodgers and his vaccine takes

Rodgers raised the stakes on his most recent McAfee appearance by recommending that analysts reveal their pronouns and vaccination status before criticizing him.

This was a direct allusion to his contentious past in 2021 when he misled reporters about his COVID-19 vaccination status. However, Clark’s retort was unreserved. He blasted Rodgers’ haughtiness in responding to inquiries about his immunization status and accused him of lying on X (previously Twitter).

I won’t let Aaron Rodgers’ vax smoke screen distract me from the stench of the tape. He’s entitled to his opinion, but to say you aren’t concerned with what we say is a lie… I mean it’s the reason we are here.

Clark stated: “The only reason we spoke about it was because your status determined how long you were out,”  “People didn’t care that you weren’t vaccinated; they cared that you were slimy and deceitful about it.” “My job is to analyze you,”  “Your QBR is 21st, and you’re leading a team that needs three straight wins just to match last year’s record without you.”  

Additionally, Clark focused on Rodgers’ performance with the Jets, pointing out both his poor stats and the team’s 4-10 record. If Rodgers’ performance doesn’t improve, Clark promised to keep criticizing him, adding: “I’ll do my job the way I’m supposed to, no matter what you say.”

After a rare victory, the Jets take on the Los Angeles Rams on Sunday. Supporters are excited to see if Rodgers can silence his detractors and improve the team’s performance.
