The Issue: Reports that Green Bay quarterback Aaron Rodgers’ lied to the NFL about being immunized.
After claiming that his refusal to get vaccinated was not motivated by politics, Aaron Rogers then proceeded to declare that he is a victim of a “witch hunt” by the left (“Rodgers set to return after COVID controversy,” Nov. 14). Sound familiar?
Rogers’ reaction to being caught in a lie about his anti-vaxxer stance — deny, deflect and blame others — is the hallmark of Trumpism.
The NFL, the media and professional football fans, for the most part, seem not to be buying his spin that “health should not be political.”

I cannot tell you how disappointed I was to tune in to football only to be subjected to more blithering nonsense about Rodgers and his vaccination status. Who cares?
In a rational world, Rodgers would not have felt the need to deceive.
The NFL world isn’t mad that he lied. They’re mad that they didn’t get to enforce their myriad of punitive, bullying rules because Rodgers, admittedly, misled them. Good for him. It is so refreshing to see someone pushing back.

Rodgers acted shamefully, and it will be a stain on his career.
He lied about being vaccinated, he played the victim by accusing the “woke” crowd and cancel culture for being hostile, he invoked Martin Luther King to justify his pettiness and he boasted of his “critical thinking” as justification for resisting vaccination. Really? His “critical thinking” seems a bit flawed.
Unlike football, which is just a game, COVID is deadly serious business, which has taken the lives of more than 700,000 Americans.

Rodgers is nothing but a headline-seeking egomaniac.
I hope the Packers lose every remaining game and Rodgers departs in the off-season. He’s acting like a cheesehead.

Rodgers claimed the “woke mob” is attempting to put the “final nail” in his “cancel culture casket” for his COVID vaccine views. No, I think he’s doing that himself.

The Issue: Rikki Schlott’s column on Gen Zers who are tired of the two-party system in America.
The column “Gen Zzzzzzzzz” states that “Gen Z is politically homeless” (Rikki Schlott, PostScript, Nov. 14).
No, it’s not. Gen Z is politically ignorant. It’s also self-absorbed, coddled and entitled, blaming all the world’s problems on “Boomers,” while conveniently ignoring its own contributions.
If these tone-deaf and out-of-touch children had even a shred of self awareness, they’d realize most people don’t care about what they have to say.

Schlott’s “Gen Z fed up” piece is interesting, but in the usual young-adult way, she assumes this is a unique situation. Every generation thinks that.
Presently, the Democrats are migrating left, and the Republicans have seen a revolution where the grassroots have ripped control from the RINO elites. Both parties are in rapid transition.
Schlott complains and promotes Andrew Yang as an alternative, but to what end? And how exactly does such a party even gain a presence at the table?
This is a giant country, and even for the super-wealthy, founding a political party of significance is beyond any one person.
It seems to me Schlott, 21, has no experience in the real world. In other words, she is no different than young adults in any other generation.
