Aaron Rodgers doesn’t seem to see the benefit in lockdown anymore.

The Green Bay Packers quarterback was then asked if he thinks there will still be a football season.
“I’m very hopeful that we can have a season,” he said. “I think the important thing to think about, though, which is more important than that is the state of the country and the fact that we have 36-plus million people on unemployment right now; you have obviously rising poverty levels to go along with the unemployment, you have suicide hotline is up 8,000 percent.”

He added, “There’s really a lot of problems going on in the country right now associated with the fear around this pandemic, and I hope that we can use some common sense moving forward and make decisions that are going to be in the best interest of all people moving forward. And, I hope that sports is a part of that at some point.”
