… Uh, he would, he might be number one globally, but in this country, Aaron Rodgers was the number one bad guy who didn't want to get vaccinated, did his research, understood the risks, and said, no, I'm not doing it. And they made him jump through hoops. He wasn't allowed, when the team traveled, to leave the hotel. He was forced to get dressed in like a separate section of the locker room.

Supports. Rodgers himself described the restriction in a 2025 interview: "I can't leave the hotel" while the team travels, under the protocols for unvaccinated players.[2]
Supports. NewsNation reports Rodgers's own account of his routine, including not leaving the hotel during road games.[3]
Supports. Alternet reports that unvaccinated players were not allowed to leave the team hotel or have outside interactions on the road under league and team protocols.[4]
Supports. US Magazine reports that Rodgers was not allowed to leave the hotel or eat with the team during road games.[5]
Context. The 2020 AP report on off-week travel limits concerns city-based restrictions for all players, not hotel restrictions for unvaccinated players, so it neither confirms nor refutes the hotel claim.[1]
