The Tampa Bay Times reports that Tampa WR Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols.
The lesson from this for Brown, a lesson he has repeatedly failed to learn, should probably be: Remember to pay money to the people you owe money to. This was reportedly leaked by a former personal chef. It's unclear what -- if any -- fallout Brown will face from the NFL and/or his team for this. But it's press that the team did not need and it flies in the face of Bruce Arians' claim that the team was 100% vaccinated.
EXCLUSIVE: Bucs receiver Antonio Brown obtained a fake COVID-19 vaccination card to avoid NFL protocols, according to his former live-in chef.

Silence and integrity are not the same thing. Did he come out and tell the league he wasn't vaxed like other players did? No. That's the same as lying so he could be treated like a player that was vaxed. [Reply]

The league KNEW.
And if they didn’t that is the teams fault. Not Rodgers.
I can’t fucking stand Rodgers and your dumbass is making me look like I’m defending him because you are wrong. [Reply]
Handed out by the equivalent of a DQ drive through worker...
In reality here you act like people who work at the DMV are more vetted or qualified than people who work at DQ.
Pharmacy and medical people are way more entrusted to official paperwork and documentation than people at the DMV the bank or you local courthouse usually.
And if they didn’t that is the teams fault. Not Rodgers.
I can’t ****ing stand Rodgers and your dumbass is making me look like I’m defending him because you are wrong.
He said he was immunized and the league took that as vaxed. Thats a lie. Technically yes he was fined for the party he went to but he still lied. Many articles say that. Jesus! [Reply]

Rodgers applied to have his new age medical quackery counted as being vaccinated and the league shot that down. And I believe media reports said the league knew he wasn't vaccinated which meant the league was complicit in letting him violate media protocols.
Did the NFL know Rodgers was unvaccinated?
Yes, as did the Packers and the NFL Players Association

You're wrong. No matter how many times you say it.
He told the league he did something else and wanted it to be considered vaccinated and the league said no. They knew. Whatever the public knew is irrelevant to rodgers penalty. [Reply]
