That’s according to one MVP voter, Chicago sportswriter Hub Arkush. Arkush declared that Rodgers was a “bad guy” and the “biggest jerk in the league” and claimed that Rodgers can’t be the MVP because he could have theoretically hurt his team by not being vaccinated. (Rodgers’s Green Bay Packers, meanwhile, clinched the top seed in their conference, rendering this argument moot).

It may just be a coincidence that Arkush happens to be a fan of the Chicago Bears, a team that Rodgers “owns.” But Arkush also claimed that he wouldn’t be the only guy not voting for Rodgers, meaning more MVP voters are considering Rodgers’s vaccination status than his play on the field, despite the fact that Rodgers has been the best quarterback in the league this year.
