Aaron Rodgers Faces Backlash After Calling Dr. Fauci a 'Coward'

Dr. Anthony Fauci’s attorney had some harsh words for Aaron Rodgers after the Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback went on a lengthy rant against Fauci during an appearance on ESPN earlier this week.

“Aaron Rodgers doesn’t know what he’s talking about. He should stick to football,” attorney David Schertler said in a statement to The Athletic, published Tuesday, August 4.

Schertler’s statement came after Rodgers, 42, appeared on The Pat McAfee Show on Monday, August 3, where he called Fauci, 85, a “coward” for repeatedly invoking the Fifth Amendment during a senate hearing last week.
