New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers appeared to ignore Donald Trump during their appearance at UFC 302 on Saturday night.

The 45th President of the United States was in attendance on the back of his recent conviction, with Rodgers also taking in the action at the event in Newark, New Jersey. Rodgers, previously on the shortlist of possible vice presidents for candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr., didn’t pay any attention to Trump when he walked past him.

A video shows Trump walking around at ringside shaking hands as several people stood up to greet him. A-Rod, though, stayed seated and kept his eyes on the ring.

Trump didn’t seem to notice Rodgers either, but the internet still got to talking.

“Aaron Rodgers remains in his seat and ignores Convicted Felon Trump as he walks by tonight at the UFC fight,” the caption to the video below reads.

 

“He an RFK Jr man,” a user wrote.

“Doesn’t want to come anywhere near the vaccine,” another joked.

“Lol. I wonder what changed his mind on trump,” a comment reads.

“His Jets contract probably has a clause prohibiting fraternizing with convicted felons,” another user quipped.

Aaron Rodgers Turned Down An Opportunity To Become VP

Aaron Rodgers emerged as a surprise running mate for Robert F. Kennedy Jr. earlier this offseason. While he supports RFK Jr., Rodgers didn’t want to retire from football to pursue a political career.

Kennedy ended up selecting Nicole Shanahan as his running mate.

“I love Bobby,” Rodgers told reporters at a Jets presser in May. “We had a couple of really nice conversations. But there were really two options — retire and be his VP or keep playing. And I wanna keep playing.”

VIDEO: Aaron Rodgers Dropped A Shocking Personal Admission About Adult Entertainment During Controversial Interview With Tucker Carlson

Aaron Rodgers is back to doing what he does best, and that is causing controversy with his words.

In a viral interview with Tucker Carlson, quarterback Aaron Rodgers of the New York Jets discussed his opinions on COVID-19, Joe Biden, Donald Trump, Vladimir Putin, and other topics.

In their Tuesday conversation, Rodgers and Tucker Carlson covered a wide range of political topics, such as conspiracy theories, the COVID-19 vaccine, and Robert F. Kennedy’s proposal to pair the New York Jets quarterback with John F. Kennedy as his running partner for the vice presidency. He also discussed themes relating to pornography.

Aaron Rodgers made it abundantly clear that he does not indulge in pornographic material because he isn’t into “weird kinky stuff.”

At the start of the interview, the 2011 Super Bowl champion praised Vladimir Putin, describing Russia’s president as ‘thoughtful and smart’ while wishing that U.S. President Joe Biden was more like him.

The quarterback suggested Biden should behave more like Putin, telling Tucker Carlson: “I’d love to see Joe Biden give an interview where he can speak on the history of the United States in the same way that Putin talked about the history of his country.”

The four-time NFL MVP also called Joe Biden’s intelligence into doubt, along with Carlson’s, when they speculated that the political establishment’s extreme leftist views might be deliberately pushing the country’s populace.

‘You wonder if they’re sort of seeing how far they can push the population until someone starts laughing, like, are you joking?’ Carlson joked.

‘It feels like that sometimes,’ Rodgers agreed. ‘Like ‘What if we did this? Is anybody going to give a s**t? No? Now, let’s try this one here. We’re going put Joe Biden up.’ Wait what? This guy who can’t even walk over here? Who s***s his pants every now and then?’ he further joked via NBC News.

Aaron Rodgers Once Challenged Travis Kelce To COVID Vaccine Debate

Last year, New York Jets quarterback Aaron Rodgers challenged Kansas City Chiefs tight end Travis Kelce to debate the effectiveness of COVID-19 vaccines.

The pro football standouts were in the midst of trading barbs since Rodgers mocked Kelce for partnering with pharmaceutical giant Pfizer in a campaign to encourage people to get their flu shots and COVID vaccinations.

Rodgers mocked Kelce, calling him “Mr. Pfizer.”

“Who knew I’d get into the vax wars with Aaron Rodgers, man?” Kelce joked with reporters. “Mr. Pfizer versus the Johnson & Johnson family over there.”
