Lying Conspiracy Theorists Shouldn't be on ESPN

NFL quarterback Aaron Rodgers has been telling lies about COVID-19 and vaccines for years.

Now he has started dabbling in a different kind of right-wring conspiracy theory.

In a bizarre outburst on ESPN the other day, Rodgers claimed that late night host Jimmy Kimmel's name would be on a list of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein's clients set to be released by a court.

Kimmel appropriately fired back: "Your reckless words put my family in danger. Keep it up and we will debate the facts further in court." 

Rodgers made his comments on ESPN's Pat McAfee show, which is watched by millions of people each week. As it turns out, ESPN also owns ABC, which hosts Jimmy Kimmel's show.

Disney has stood up to right-wing hate and lies before – and it's time for the company to do so again. Sign our petition calling on Disney to stop Aaron Rodgers from lying and spreading conspiracy theories to ESPN viewers.
