“Aaron Rodgers has been a great ambassador for our company for much of the past decade,” State Farm told USA Today. They continued:
“We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues. Our mission at State Farm is to support safer, stronger communities. To that end, we encourage vaccinations, but respect everyone’s right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances.”

Previously we have covered the Aaron Rodgers debacle:
Despite all this, there are reports that Rodgers is being distanced from State Farm and that they are playing less of his ads. USA Today also reported:
Nonetheless, Apex Marketing Group reported that only 1.5% of State Farm ads had Rodgers in them Sunday, down from 25% of State Farm ads the two previous Sundays.
State Farm’s tepid reaction was far different from the reaction of another Rodgers’ sponsor, Prevea Health, a healthcare company in [sic] Wiscosin, which ended its partnership with Rodgers Saturday.
There is speculation that there is a concerted effort to “cancel” Aaron Rodgers from other “woke” past NFL players and corporations. This is in addition to left-wing social media influencers and the like.
We wouldn’t be surprised at all, even though Rodgers has stated that his medical opinions are not political. Some have even hinted that if he wasn’t a White star quarterback, he would have been in more trouble, basically alleging White Supremacy.
Yes, of course, all roads lead back to White Supremacy when the left-wing mob isn’t appeased. (Sarcasm). Anyway, we will stay tuned to see what else comes of this ongoing saga.
