Packers fined for violating COVID-19 protocols
There's been plenty of drama surrounding the Green Bay Packers and Aaron Rodgers has been in the middle of everything after he tested positive for COVID-19. Well, Green Bay also had Rodgers do interviews without a mask on, and with him being unvaccinated, that's a big no-no.
On top of that, Rodgers and Allen Lazard were spotted at a halloween party without a mask too. Now, the fines have come in for Green Bay and it's a decent chunk of change.
