Controversial Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers was trolled by Yankees television announcers when he attended Monday night’s home game.
As New York faced the Seattle Mariners, cameras showed the four-time NFL MVP having an animated conversation with another guest in the suite.
“Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers is (at the Yankees game), as a guest of Marcus Stroman,” one of the announcers began, referencing the star pitcher.
‘I wonder what he’s talking about right there.’ a second commentator chimed in.
‘Could be anything.’
Aaron Rodgers was lightly trolled at Monday’s Yankees game
He was seen having an animated conversation with another guest in the middle of the game.
The announcers revealed that the Super Bowl champion was a guest of pitcher Marcus Stroman.
Commentators seemed to be trolling Rodgers’ infamous series of controversies.
As fans will recall, he did not receive the COVID-19 vaccine and misled the public about it, regularly spouts conspiracy theories about UFOs, and has shown support for independent presidential candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr.
In fact, the 40-year-old was on a short list of potential candidates to run alongside Kennedy in the upcoming election, and even considered quitting football to take the position.
The quarterback returned to practice for OTAs on Monday with the New York Jets.
Rodgers spent almost all of last NFL season on the bench after rupturing his Achilles tendon.
Yankee commentators also criticized Rodgers for not paying attention to the game, admitting that he was probably “staring” at the television screen.
Earlier in the day, he was seen participating in the Jets’ organized team activities (OTA).
In a social media post, Rodgers threw a perfect pass to wide receiver Garrett Wilson, who ran for a score.
The signs are already positive for Rodgers, who missed all but four snaps last season due to a nasty Achilles tear.
Just four plays into his Jet career, the quarterback went down and did not return to the field last season.
The Jets will open their preseason on August 10 with a home game against the Washington Commanders, before facing the New York Giants on August 24.
They open their regular season on the road on Monday Night Football against the reigning NFC champions: the San Francisco 49ers.
