Aaron Rodgers Admits Why He Lost Friendships And Family In New Netflix Documentary

Oh, for fuck's sake, Aaron, just admit you love cock.

Look at those eyes

He is so on the Spectrum

[quote] Oh, for fuck's sake, Aaron, just admit you love cock.

In a way he DID "come out" to his parents, when he announced that he doesn't believe in God.

That's kind of huge in a family like his.

They pretty much disowned him after that.

Sound familiar?

Aaron's atheism probably stemmed from the fact that he knows he's gay, he was basically in a relationship with Kevin Lanflisi, and he couldn't reconcile that with being religious.

So he just threw away the belief in God.

Unfortunately, he was forced by the NFL to break up with Kevin, which sent him over the edge to Crazy Town.

The title of this Netflix doc is pretty accurate.

Aaron is an enigma.

His life is a mix of religious fundamentalism and homosexuality.

That always leads to crazy.

He'll never admit he loves the cock now, since he's so entangled in the MAGA cult.

They'd toss him aside if he disclosed that little tidbit.

Autistic people love cults.

Boring thread.

Dishonest and cray cray is no way to go though life.

We know why *flaps wrist and sashays away*

It almost makes me feel sorry for him.

He was obviously smart enough to break away from his family and the religious cult.

But he clearly didn't have the coping skills to come out of the closet, so he did the complete opposite.

Sad.

Here's the "Aaron Rodgers: Enigma" trailer.

As I quoted in the Aaron Meth thread, DLers have been all over this story for years.

[quote]Horseshit. The estrangement happened after all the stuff about Aaron and his male “roommate” Kevin Lanflisi came out (no pun intended). Just google their two names together to read all the tea.

[quote]Better yet, go to Datalounge where they had countless threads on the two of them that will tell anything and everything you ever wanted to know about Aaron and his former “roommate.”

Not only that R11, but Aaron's estrangement with his family happened at exactly the same time as when the Kevin Lanflisi story was about to break, and the gay innuendo headlines were all over the media.

THIS was the real reason his family was going to "disown" him.

Kevin basically professed his love for Aaron in this post.

We don't care anymore.

Remember that back in August 2024, Aaron explained how bad he felt about how he handled the "Are you gay" question in 2013.

[quote] It's been 11 years since Aaron Rodgers proclaimed he “really, really likes women” when asked if he was gay — but the New York Jets quarterback is still frustrated about the question in the first place.

[quote] “I think I was upset with the framing of the rumor because it was meant to shame the idea of being gay, and I have so many friends that are gay in the community,” Rodgers, 40, recently told author Ian O’Connor for his new biography, Out of the Darkness: The Mystery of Aaron Rodgers.

[quote] “I’m like, say anything you want about me, but do you understand these people are using this to shame the idea of being gay?” the former Green Bay Packers legend elaborated. “That’s just disrespectful to all my friends who are in the community who don’t believe that it’s a choice. They were making it seem like you’re shaming people for being gay, when a lot of them, if you ask them, they didn’t ask for this life. ‘This is who I am.’”

[quote] Rodgers explained that he “wanted to go after … the people with homophobic views … not in relation to me, because I could give a s*** what they thought about me, but that they’re using this to shame, like it’s a bad thing to be gay. Like it’s a negative.”

Some people think Aaron is "rewriting history" in his response at r15. They say he was never as supportive of gays and his gay friends as he claims to have been in 2013.

Kevin married a tarted up Jezebel whore!

Is Kevin now divorced?

Nothing sadder than a kaween in a pray-the-gay-away program. I had to visit one once. It felt like a funeral at a concentration camp.

I clearly love women and absolutely adore vagina. Can’t get enough of it.

This really says it all, Kev.

HA!

Little Kevvie knows where to find the boys, AND the booze!

It seems that neither Kevin nor his wife have social media accounts.

Go figure.

All I could find on the wife is that her name is Sarah McArthur, but she goes by Sarah Lanflisi McArthur.

She's also a self-employed "fashion stylist" in LA.

Is ahe really his wife? Back when we discussed this, it came out that this was a PR shot for her company. IIRC she's a designer in addition to stylist. Supposedly just friends.

Designer? Was he giving her tips?

Aaron Rodgers : Enema. You’re welcome.

“I keep a few in the medicine cabinet….. constipation issues….”

R16 Yeah. If Aaron was really such an LGBTQ ally, he'd never align himself with the MAGA cult.

That response of his was a sorry backpedal.

[quote] If Aaron was really such an LGBTQ ally, he'd never align himself with the MAGA cult

By definition, a closet case cannot be an LGB ally.

If he hates himself that much for being gay, then he surely hates us too.

Kevin and Sarah's wedding registry....

I'm thinking of sending them a double-headed dildo.

Here's a new clip from the Aaron Rodgers Documentary for Netflix.

In this clip, Aaron talks about a new way to think or masculinity, and how he suffered from "stunted emotional intelligence" because he only saw his father cry once in his life.

I read all of that, and I’m still thinking, who?

Aaron Rodgers says he and his family’s differing opinions about religion have been one of the biggest sticking points in their relationship over the years.

Rodgers, 41, points to the moment he began “questioning” his Christian upbringing as a time when he and his family began to grow apart, the NFL quarterback reveals in a new Netflix project about his life.

The docuseries, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, began streaming Tuesday on Netflix. PEOPLE had an advanced look at the three episodes, which examine the New York Jets star’s career and recent controversies — including his conspiratorial criticisms about vaccines and the ongoing public fallout with his immediate family.

In the series’ second episode, Rodgers ponders his relationships with his parents Ed and Darla and his brothers Jordan and Luke, coming to the conclusion that their different opinions on religion has played a major factor in their estrangement over the years.

Rodgers began reflecting on religion and leaning on spirituality more after coming across lectures by religious author and self-described spiritual teacher Rob Bell, he explains in the documentary.

“I got into Rob Bell’s work with his NOOMA videos after 2011 and kind of culminating in 2014, and he was kind of retelling the stories of the Bible that I grew up on in a new and interesting way,” Rodgers says, adding that he “made sure he went” to a lecture Bell hosted in Green Bay, Wisconsin.

“He loved everybody and he didn’t judge people,” Rodgers says. “The culture I grew up in is black and white. Black and white is you’re either this or you’re that. There’s no grey area. He was a big help for me to totally unravel the religion of my youth.”

Since then, Rodgers says in the documentary, he “started looking into other ways of thinking and spirituality,” and began “reading a lot of different types of books, philosophy books, self-help books,” which helped him find “the courage to speak my feelings better.”

“I started to stand up to institutions of my youth,” Rodgers says. “And that was everything from organized religion, my parents, dogma, ideology, and that definitely changed the dynamics of my family, because I was just questioning all of it.”

Rodgers, who says he grew up attending church every Sunday with his family, criticized organized religion in a 2020 podcast episode with his then-girlfriend Danica Patrick, saying it can be used as a “crutch” and “can be something that people have to have to make themselves feel better,” specifically “about themselves.”

“I don’t know how you can believe in a God who wants to condemn most of the planet to a fiery hell,” Rodgers said at the time. “What type of loving, sensitive, omnipresent, omnipotent being wants to condemn his beautiful creation to a fiery hell at the end of all this?”

The comments left his immediate family “dismayed,” one insider told PEOPLE at the time.

“To them, his comments are basically a slap in the face to the fundamentals of who they are,” the source said. “It’s basically him turning his back on everything they have taught him.”

The new Netflix project focuses greatly on Rodgers’ spiritual beliefs and practices, including his use of “plant-based” medicines like ayahuasca and holistic spiritual trips, such as a 2023 darkness retreat in which he spent some time reflecting on his relationship with his family.

“People ask me, like, is there hope for a reconciliation? I say, ‘Yeah, of course, of course,’ “ Rodgers says of his family elsewhere in the doc. “I don’t want them to fail, to struggle, to have any strife or issues. I don’t wish any ill-will on them at all. It’s more like this: We’re just different steps on the timeline of our own journeys.”

Maybe his outlook on life and his own journey are what helps make him such a great football player. He's just unique and different to the way he grew up. He couldn't rebell when he was younger and so he did later on, and probably still is. If the NFL did make him break up with KL then why would he come out if he is gay. He's still playing so maybe he'll find he'll more happiness when he's moved on from that. I think it's incredibly sad if the NFL did make them break up, and that he's divided from his family. I think he's interesting and I didn't know about the documentary, but I'm gonna watch it this morning.

His beard Olivia Munn had nothing to do with his family estrangement. That's not in a beard's job description.

Also, his eyes are very creepy.

Aaron is head-butting his sell by date hard.

His team mates don't respect him. They resent his getting their coach fired when it's actually him that's the problem.

Also, like the equally fucked up Tammy C., once the crazy shows there's no going back.

The straights can keep him.

You wanna talk crazy, R39.

Read the Aaron Rodgers / Ryan Clark thread.

[quote] Aaron Rodgers' response to Ryan Clark

[italic]Rodgers spent an hour on "The Pat McAfee Show" discussing topics like drones in New York, the Jets' win over Jacksonville, the latest on the Jets' search for a general manager, the NFL MVP race, the NFC division races, his Netflix documentary and the College Football Playoff.

After that hour, McAfee started to say "ladies and gentlemen, Aaron Rodgers" before Rodgers cut him off.

"I'm not done," he said, to which McAfee replied "oh (expletive)."

Rodgers then went into what he called "just a quick PSA reminder" for the show.

"Say whatever the (expletive) you want about me, I don't care, but just before you do it, whether you state your name, your accolades, pronouns, whatever it is, just state your [vaccination] status so that anything you say afterwards gets put in the right light," he said. "Just get it out there."

He did not name anyone individually at ESPN or elsewhere, but continued to emphasize vaccination status.

"Then when you say things about me people can at least be like, 'oh, you are captured by the multimillion-dollar propaganda Skyhawk and you're still upset about it,'" he continued. "Just so everybody knows where you're coming from, everybody knows 'okay, cool, you're twice [vaccinated with] Moderna with three booster shots' and then say what you want to say, whatever."

McAfee and co-host A.J. Hawk both commented that this will help things at the network, likely referring to comments from Clark and others at ESPN.

"I don't care," Rodgers went on. "I'm just saying a PSA, just please help everybody who's wondering 'where is this coming from?' Including myself... do a little bit of digging and then you know where it's all coming from. You're captured, you're highly vaccinated and then say whatever the hell you want to say about me [because] I couldn't give two (expletive)s about it."

Rodgers ended with a request that media members put their vaccination status on-air in their biographies instead of their accolades "because [they] cared so much about it during the COVID years."

He then made his lone reference to Clark, saying "you don't just need a broach with your initials." Clark wore a gold lapel with his initials "RC" on it during his appearance on "First Take" criticizing Rodgers' assessment of sports media.

"Put your [vaccination] status on there too," he said.

Minutes later, Rodgers said his comments on sports media obviously "struck a nerve."

“My whole point in saying that was, most of you, nobody remembers your career," he said. "Nobody remembers it. Guess what, in five or ten years you’re not going to remember my career either... in five or ten years when people forget about my career, I’m not gonna need to find some sort of relevance to be on TV. So all I'm just saying is just be humble when you're talking about guys."[/italic]

R40 The dude is deeply disturbed.

A Christian fundamentalist upbringing and a lifetime lived in the closet will do that to you.

A.J. Hawk looks like an Easter Island statue.

[quote] A.J. Hawk looks like an Easter Island statue.

I resemble that remark!

Circus freak.

On the religion thing I'm on his side. His family alike it or lump it. But on the crazy conspiracy theories, he needs to seek help.

Aaron Rodgers is a nasty cunt. Notice he couldn’t resist to insert the MAGA leanings with use of the word pronouns. Damaged closet case who can’t reconcile his religion with his sexuality.

I’m not feeding no trolls tonight. Fuck that. I don’t feel like that bullshit.

R49 is MAFUCKIN' MAD!

R26, her name on LinkedIn reads Sarah Lanflisi (McArthur). McArthur is in parentheses as that is her maiden name and she wanted it noted in her profile.

Has anyone noticed he couldn’t resist inserting the MAGA leanings with use of the word pronouns?

The reviews of this little show suggest that it is horrifying and boring at the same time. How is that possible?

Me thinks he hit that amazing sweet spot of dysfunctional family, fame, and sexual issues over the years and has added weird mystical crap to top it off. The result? A rich, closeted creep who thinks he knows everything.

He needs to go away. Some small wattle hut in Peru, preferably.

"But he clearly didn't have the coping skills to come out of the closet, so he did the complete opposite."

Maybe because of his job? I wonder how much pressure form league people, agents, managers, etc. I'm not saying it's necessarily they're fault - Aaron may have never come out anyway. But, you'd think there would be some outside pressure. She's such a mess.

[quote] Aaron Rodgers Says He Became ‘Skeptical’ About Vaccines Because His Parents Didn't Believe in Flu Shots

Aaron Rodgers says in a new documentary that his “skeptical” beliefs about vaccines dates back to his own parents’ doubt in annual flu shots.

Rodgers, 41, is the subject of a new Netflix documentary, Aaron Rodgers: Enigma, which began streaming Tuesday. PEOPLE had an advanced look at the three-part series, which examines the NFL star’s career and controversies, including his often unfounded and, at times, misleading comments about vaccinations.

“We never did the flu shots growing up,” Rodgers explains in the series’ third episode, as the documentary dives deeper into the New York Jets star’s controversial public comments on vaccines. “My dad just didn’t believe in it.”

Rodgers then cites uncredited statistics about vaccines to explain why his father, Ed Rodgers, didn’t take his children to get flu shots every year, adding that his dad didn’t think it “was worth the unknown.”

“So, I was always a little bit skeptical of that,” Rodgers says, before slamming “ridiculous protocols” related to the COVID-19 pandemic, which killed nearly 15 million people between 2020 and 2021, according to the World Health Organization.

The world’s leading medical experts at the time promoted several ways to slow the spread of the deadly virus, such as social distancing, wearing masks, and regular testing to monitor symptoms. When vaccines were developed and began to be distributed in 2021, the NFL did not require players to be vaccinated but encouraged receiving the preventative shots while also requiring regular testing in an effort to both help slow the spread of the disease and limit illnesses within the league.

His dad didn’t believe in flu shots? It’s all the fault of medics and their damned book-learnin’. Hid dad didn’t need no medical knowledge - yee haw!

[quote]His dad didn’t believe in flu shots?

His dad the chiropractor. A "doctor"/not doctor. And a freaking evangelical Christian.

Aaron Rodgers has made compound bad decisions and expressed ignorant opinions. But what strikes he had against him.

I'm of the mind that you shed you family if there's that sort of difference and strife. Many people aren't very good at that, however much it's in their interests to do it.

I have some measure of sympathy for the guy who has a batshit rigid father, a stay-at-home mother (because of her faith), and a whole clan of hillbilly Christians behind them, in an occupation that drops wads of money but imposes its own strict standards and will drop one of its "family" members in an instant if they cause any embarrassment of unwanted sorts of attention.

I don't think he's a great guy or some kind of hero, just a man who wasn't strong enough to be what he was either publicly or privately.

Aaron Rodgers is opening up about his experience working on his spirituality and how he’s used plant-based medicine and meditation to “reparent” himself as an adult.

In the new three-part Netflix docuseries Aaron Rodgers: Engima, about the 41-year-old NFL quarterback’s career and controversies, Rodgers explains how he’s used both to “learn how to love myself better” after not receiving the love he needed from his family growing up.

“At times when you have some dysfunction or some separation in your family life, you have to kind of reparent yourself and give yourself what you didn’t get or wanted to hear more of when you were a kid, and I think for me, I just wanted to hear, ‘I’m proud of you,’ “ Rodgers explains during the second episode.

“I had to find a way to be my own parent in those moments and say, ‘Hey, f--- being perfect. I’m proud of who you are and what you’ve accomplished on and off the field.’ And forgiveness for all the mistakes, because I was just trying to do the best I could and a lot of times it wasn’t good enough,” the four-time NFL MVP says.

Rodgers reveals in the documentary that his estranged relationship with his family began around the time he was in high school and he began feeling a distance with his parents Ed and Darla's devout Christian beliefs.

While talking about his efforts to “reparent” himself as an adult, Rodgers says he “felt like the love that I was modeled growing up, it’s kind of a merit-based spirituality.”

“If you don’t believe you deserve that love, it’s hard for you to give it, and it’s sure as hell hard for you to receive it,” Rodgers says, adding that “plant medicine has been a big teacher for me for self-love.”

In addition to his controversial efforts to discredit vaccines and publicly pushing various conspiracy theories about the government and other celebrities, Rodgers has made headlines in recent years for his use of plant-based psychedelics like ayahuasca and spiritual experiences such as darkness retreats.

Jordan Russell, a childhood friend who is interviewed about Rodgers throughout the series, says he believes the New York Jets star has become “a completely different person” since he began his self-reflective spirituality work.

“I think that before — if we sort of think of it as a before and after — I think the before, he wasn’t able to access that part of himself,” Russell says. “I think he was just stuck in his head.”

You broke my ass and my heart. Bitch!

From that photo I'm guessing his mother is a lesser.

He is influenced by his family about their vaccine beliefs but not about their religious beliefs.

I also think he has high iq autism.
