GREEN BAY, WI. (THECOUNT) — “Aaron Rodgers has been a great ambassador for our company for much of the past decade,” a State Farm company spokeswoman said in a statement to USA TODAY Sports Monday morning.
While State Farm appears to be standing by Rodgers, he was featured in far less commercials than normal on Sunday.
“We don’t support some of the statements that he has made, but we respect his right to have his own personal point of view. We recognize our customers, employees, agents and brand ambassadors come from all walks of life, with differing viewpoints on many issues. Our mission at State Farm is to support safer, stronger communities. To that end, we encourage vaccinations, but respect everyone’s right to make a choice based on their personal circumstances.”
According to Apex Marketing Group, only 1.5 percent of State Farm ads shown on Sunday featured Rodgers, down from a normal 25 percent.
Rodgers is expected to return to the field this Sunday, when the Packers take on the Seahawks.
