Of course Aaron Rodgers isn't a VP candidate. Jets QB (and his conspiracies) stay in NFL

Aaron Rodgers is preparing for his 20th NFL season, and not (thank goodness) a political career.
During an age when individuals with no political experience become high-ranking politicians, Rodgers will not be Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s choice for vice president, Kennedy announced Tuesday as he gears up for an unlikely presidential campaign.
Kennedy has selected California attorney Nicole Shanahan.
Rodgers had been tabbed as a potential running mate for Kennedy, along with former wrestler, actor and Minnesota Gov. Jesse Ventura.
Kennedy’s choice spares us from Rodgers’ unwarranted political opinions and conspiracy theories getting an even larger platform.

More:Aaron Rodgers as VP is a joke. So is his commitment to the New York Jets
Rodgers has been outspoken about various political matters, including COVID-19 immunizations. Earlier this month, Rodgers responded to a CNN report that said he believed the Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting was a "government inside job."
There’s no denying that Rodgers’ views are controversial and divisive.
But we can agree that Rodgers is an accomplished NFL quarterback, which is a profession he’s more than qualified for.
The 40-year-old QB is coming off a torn Achilles on the New York Jets’ fourth offensive play last season but is expected to participate in offseason workouts this year.
Rodgers is a four-time NFL MVP, 10-time Pro Bowler and Super Bowl 45 champion as a member of the Green Bay Packers. He has 59,055 passing yards, 475 touchdowns and 105 interceptions in his career. He’s No. 9 on the NFL’s all-time list for most career passing yards.
Rodgers’ resume is Hall of Fame worthy and he’ll undoubtedly have a bust one day in Canton. Thankfully, though, his resume won’t include vice presidential candidate.
