Rodgers vs Media Over COVID Stance | Durham News

Aaron Rodgers opens up about a tense fallout with ESPN’s Mina Kimes, blaming her for how the media turned on him after he publicly took a stand on COVID-19.

The tension resurfaced when Kimes used Rodgers as a case study, contrasting him with Kirk Cousins — who also admitted to being unvaccinated but faced far less backlash and moved on more easily. Rodgers admits he frequently brings up his stance in interviews, while Kimes sees their divergent public narratives as a fascinating lens into how media perception shapes personal accountability.
