Aaron Rodgers Balks On COVID Death Joke, ‘I Don’t Find That Part Funny’

Aaron Rodgers wanted no parts of crude jokes about COVID-19, vaccines and deaths associated with the virus … quickly shut down attempts at humor this week.

Rodgers appeared on Monday’s episode of Barstool Sports’ “Excuse me” — and he enjoyed himself with the hosts, Big cat and PFT commentator … but the Packers star quickly turned serious when the jokes turned to coronavirus-related deaths.

Speaking about the backlash he received for going public with his vaccine stance last year, Rodgers joked to PFT: “How many people do you think you’ve killed? What’s your count?”

Big Cat added, “How many grannies? Let’s just do grannies.”

Rodgers, who had been in a very playful mood throughout the interview leading up to that point, said sternly: “I mean, I know you guys are f***ing around, but I don’t find that part funny.”

“I really don’t,” he added.

The trio changed the subject moments later – and the guys continued to laugh and joke with each other for another half hour or so of the show.

There didn’t seem to be any more awkward moments between the guys, and all three took a picture together after the interview ended.

The 38-year-old has been willing to discuss his thoughts on COVID and the vaccines repeatedly over the past 12 months … and has said that while he’s not anti-vax, he doesn’t feel anyone should be forced to take the shots .

It’s clear he’s taking the matter very seriously, though … and isn’t ready to mess around with any of it.
