Insurance company State Farm said on Monday it was sticking by Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers after another of his sponsors dropped him amid controversy over his decision not get vaccinated against COVID-19.
Rodgers tested positive for COVID-19 last week and faced backlash for telling reporters at a press conference in August that he was "immunized" in response to a question about whether he had received the COVID-19 vaccine.
"We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view," said State Farm. "Prevea Health remains deeply committed to protecting its patients, staff, providers and communities amidst the COVID-19 pandemic," it said in a written statement on Saturday.
"What's especially bothersome is that Aaron Rodgers didn’t just lie and threaten the health of those around him, he also damaged professional sports," Abdul-Jabbar wrote on his personal website.
