NFL legend Aaron Rodgers criticized Kamala Harris for turning down an invitation to appear on Joe Rogan's podcast, saying he thought the decision hurt Harris's chances of winning the presidency against Donald Trump in a recent episode of 'The Joe Rogan Experience. In the podcast, Rodgers stated, 'What a moron to not come on the show! Well, I mean I think that anybody with a brain knows that Trump coming on here had a big sway on the election.'

He argued that Harris lost a chance to engage people, which might have changed the outcome of the race. Rodgers cited Trump's participation in the podcast as a key element in his election victory.

Rodgers On Steelers

Rodgers is currently thinking about his future with the Pittsburgh Steelers. His comments on Harris could have an impact on the team's choice to sign him. The Steelers, who have a reputation for being liberal, could think about the political ramifications of Rodgers' remarks, particularly in light of club owner Art Rooney's past Democratic Party backing.

Rodgers has been candid about how he makes decisions, pointing to his own obligations and the difficulties his loved ones confront. "I have off-the-field stuff going on that requires my attention," he said. As he strikes a balance between his personal and professional lives, this admission suggests that his NFL career is still up in the air.

Given his track record of political involvement, Rodgers was even asked to serve as Robert F. Kennedy Jr.'s running mate in the next presidential election. But instead, he decided to keep playing football. "There were really two options. Retire and be his VP or keep playing. I wanted to keep playing," he said. This choice demonstrates his dedication to the game while yet being interested in politics.

Sports and politics continue to converge as the 2024 presidential race draws near, with players like Rodgers using their platforms to express strong views on important topics.
