I dont "hate" him per se, as i dont know him.
I will say though, that at one time he would have been one of my all-time favorite athletes of any sport. The way he handled the Favre thing was a lesson in professionalism and then his level of QBing the following decade+ was pretty much unprecedented.
But he then became bigger than the team a couple years back and turned into an all-time diva instead which, IMO, has really tarnished his legacy. I'm both happy and sad that he will be moving on as a lifelong Packer fan. The nonsense the last 2 off seasons are enough.
The immunization thing is a pffft for me as he is no different than millions of others who chose the same route, even if I disagreed with it.
Also, and it happens across all sports, fans love to tear down those who are highest in that sport.
