PACKERS GET HIT IN THEIR POCKETS

THE Green Bay Packers have been fined £200,000 for their part in the great Aaron Rodgers Covid debacle.

And their superstar quarterback has been fined £10,000 for attending a Halloween party while not being vaccinated.

But there were no suspensions and no loss of draft picks for the Packers in what many see as just a slap on the wrist from the NFL.

Rodgers hogged the headlines last week after he tested positive and missed the Packers’ surprise loss at Kansas City. In pre-season, he claimed he was “immunised” against the disease but he was forced to apologise yesterday when it emerged he had NOT been vaccinated.
