Aaron Rodgers, quarterback for the New York Jets, is being considered as a running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr., independent presidential candidate, for his anti-vaccination views. Rodgers has not commented on the rumors, but Kennedy has stated that he and Rodgers have been in constant communication over the past month regarding the vice-presidential nomination. Jesse Ventura, former wrestler and governor of Minnesota, is also in consideration for the position. The implications of Rodgers' potential candidacy have raised concerns for the Jets franchise, given the need for his availability during games, and has been met with amusement from sports commentators and the public. The selection of Rodgers could suggest a shift in political attitudes within the NFL, as players become more vocal about their opinions.
