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 news conference in August that he was "immunized" in response to a question about whether he had received the COVID-19 vaccine.
He was placed on the NFL's COVID-19/reserve list last week and was forced to sit out Sunday's loss against the Kansas City Chiefs.
