Gay Steelers Fan Denounces Aaron Rodgers And Steelers
According to John Casey of Out Sports:
If Aaron Rodgers doesn’t apologize for his comments about Dr. Anthony Fauci, I don’t know how I can root for my team’s quarterback.
And if the Steelers organization decides this is just another controversy to ignore, it will have failed to stand up for a man who has spent his life serving this country, and who has meant more to the LGBTQ community than most people will ever understand.
This week, in an interview with Pat McAfee on ESPN, Rodgers called Dr. Fauci “an absolute coward” while once again airing his grievances about the COVID-19 pandemic. He’s entitled to his opinions about government policy.

But that’s not what this is about.
This is about Rodgers choosing to smear a man whose life’s work has, for me, been devoted to saving other people’s lives.
Most Americans met Dr. Fauci during COVID. Gay men, and the LGBTQ community, met him more than 40 years ago during the AIDS crisis. And, he has stayed with us ever since.
I’ve had the privilege of interviewing Dr. Fauci numerous times over the past six years.
We initially talked about COVID. But the conversations I’ll always remember were about HIV and AIDS, about science, cures, programs and medications. What remains with me is his unbridled compassion.

Dr. Fauci spent decades confronting one of the deadliest epidemics in modern history. When he aligned himself with gay men and AIDS activists, he became a political target, stepping into a fight that few people wanted anything to do with.
As he evolved, he stood with gay men, AIDS victims and activists.
If you had AIDS, if you were gay, you were dehumanized at the time, scapegoated and stigmatized. You were a pariah to friends, family, co-workers and society as a whole.
I remember the fear. I remember watching friends become sick. I remember a government that was indifferent while scores of gay men kept dying. No one was coming to our rescue.
But Dr. Fauci did.
