Aaron Rodgers backed independent candidate Robert F. Kennedy Jr. for president as the 2024 election cycle took off earlier this year and was even a possible vice presidential pick of his.

The New York Jets quarterback, however, dismissed the political system as a "sham" while he did a podcast interview from Lake Tahoe earlier this month. Rodgers participated in the American Century Championship – one of the top celebrity golf tournaments in the U.S.

On Barstool Sports’ "Pardon My Take," PFT Commenter made a crack about Rodgers’ golf ability, saying he saw his shot go far to the right "like his politics." Rodgers smiled and recalled all the times people tried to "cancel" him.

"Politics, I’ve said from the beginning, is an absolute sham. And if we’ve seen anything whether what they did to Bernie Sanders in 2016, that we saw in the (John) Podesta emails or the fact that nothing really ever changes … all they talk about is what they’re gonna do and then life doesn’t actually get better for any of us – whether it’s a Republican or a Democrat. And we’re still doing the same f---ing two-party system. Not letting Bobby get in or anybody else."

Rodgers also criticized the inability of a third-party candidate to be able to get on the ballots for the election.
