Following one of the Associated Press's 50 voters for the NFL's Most Valuable Player award stating that Aaron Rodgers is "the biggest jerk in the league" and would be voting for someone else, Rodgers slammed the voter in a recent press conference.
Hub Arkush, a Chicago-based sportswriter and one of 50 Associated Press voters, said while appearing on 670 The Score in Chicago that "I don't think you can be the biggest jerk in the league and punish your team, and your organization and your fan base the way he did and be the Most Valuable Player," according to Sports Illustrated.
"Has he been the most valuable on the field? Yeah, you could make that argument, but I don't think he is clearly that much more valuable than Jonathan Taylor or Cooper Kupp or maybe even Tom Brady. So from where I sit, the rest of it is why he's not gonna be my choice," he continued.
"I think he's a bum. I think he's an absolute bum. He doesn’t know me. I don't know who he is. No one knew who he was probably until yesterday's comments," the Green Bay Packers quarterback said.
"But I mean to, and I listen to the comments, but to say he had his mind made up in the summertime. In the offseason that, you know, I had zero chance of winning the MVP, in my opinion should exclude, you know, future votes," Rodgers continued.
"You know, his problem isn't with me being a bad guy or the biggest jerk in the league. Cause he doesn't you know me. He doesn't know me, he doesn't know anything about me. I've never met him. I knew I had lunch with him. I've never had an interview with him. His problem is I'm not vaccinated," he added.
"You know, so if he wants to go on a crusade and collude and come up with an extra letter, to put on the award just for this season, and make it the most valuable vaccinated player, then he should do that. But he's a bum, and I'm not going to waste any time worrying about that stuff," Rodgers continued.
Rodgers, who has refused to get the COVID-19 vaccine, has lost sponsors and received backlash over his vaccine stance, and his support of alternative treatments blasted by media.
