Aaron Rodgers is livid Novak Djokovic was not allowed to compete in the U.S. Open tournament … highlighting the absurdity of some of the COVID-19 regulations that simply make no sense.
Rodgers sat down with Bill Maher for an episode of his ‘Club Random’ podcast … where the two had a candid conversation about Djokovic being kept out of the high-profile tourney for remaining unvaccinated.
“The best f***ing player on the men’s side can’t play,” Rodgers said of Djokovic. “One of the most fit guys in the f***ing world whose had covid at least once, if not twice, can’t f***ing come to New York?”
Rodgers then brought up Kyrie Irving‘s long, drawn-out saga with the Nets … which saw the star point guard miss a bevy of games during the season over his refusal to get vaccinated.
Kyrie Irving Defends Anti-Vaccine Choice, ‘I Haven’t Committed A Crime’
“Kyrie Irving attended a basketball game courtside but couldn’t play for his team.”
“How is that f***ing possible?” Rodgers asked. “He attended a basketball game and got to watch it in the stands but couldn’t play f***ing play on his team because he wasn’t vaxxed.”
“Make it make sense. Make it sense. You can’t,” Aaron continued.
Rodgers and Maher accused the Nets, who told Irving he could play in road games but not home games, then said he couldn’t play for the team at all … of changing their tune once the team started struggling.
AR and BM were dumbfounded that Bradley Beal, who is unvaccinated like Irving, was allowed to play in games at Barclays Center and Madison Square Garden, despite the NYC mandate.
“It was as stupid as it is to sit at a restaurant and take your mask off and then put it on when you stand up as if the virus only attacks you while you’re standing.”
