New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers insulted Travis Kelce, the Kansas City Chiefs’ tight end, by giving him a new nickname on ESPN’s “The Pat McAfee Show.”
Due to his injury, Rodgers was unable to play in the team’s loss to the Chiefs.
He was asked about the performance of his team.
During the episode, Rodgers criticized Travis Kelce, the Chiefs’ tight end.
The Green Bay Packers quarterback noted that he was able to shut him down by taking away his production.
The nickname given to Kelce by Rodgers is a reference to his recent advertisement, which urged people to get vaccinated against the flu and COVID-19 at the same time.
On the other hand, Rodgers revealed that he did not get a vaccine during the pandemic.
The co-hosts of the show, A.J. Hawk and Pat McAfee, were amused by the quarterback’s use of the nickname.
The nickname “Pfizer” is a lazy reference that shows how Rodgers is imitating the talking points of right-wing critics.
Last month, Media Matters revealed that right-wing pundits had already started attacking Kelce due to his appearance in the advertisement, which was made to promote the idea of getting vaccinated.
The backlash against him also reportedly grew after he started dating singer Taylor Swift.
Some football fans are already complaining about how Swift gets so much attention for merely attending the games of the Kansas City Chiefs.
Due to her left-leaning politics, some people on the right have started using grade-school terms to criticize her appearance.
They also called out Kelce for being a “beta” male because of how he started dating her.
