Star NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been fined for Corona protocol violations, according to media reports.

Los Angeles (SID) – Star US Football League (NFL) quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been fined a lenient amount for violations of Corona protocol, according to media reports. According to the report, the professional of the Green Bay Packers must pay 14,650 US dollars (just under 12,700 euros). Among other things, Rodgers, who had not been vaccinated, had frequently not worn a mask at press conferences. In addition, his attendance at the club’s Halloween celebration had not been reported to the league.

In addition to Rodgers, receiver Allen Lazard, who was also unvaccinated, was fined the same amount. The Packers, as the team responsible for compliance with the rules, even have to pay 300,000 dollars (just under 260,000 euros). “We respect the league’s findings and know how important compliance with COVID protocols is to the health and safety of our team and our organisation,” Packers president Mark Murphy told ESPN.

Rodgers had tested positive for the coronavirus earlier last week. It was subsequently revealed that the preseason MVP had not been vaccinated. The quarterback then came under heavy criticism because Rodgers had said in August, when asked about his vaccination status, that he was “immunised”.
