The NFL issued fines to the Green Bay Packers, quarterback Aaron Rodgers and wide receiver Allen Lazard after its review found the team and its two players did not follow league COVID-19 protocols, NFL spokesman Brian McCarthy said Tuesday.
The Packers were fined US$300,000, while Rodgers and Lazard were each fined US$14,650, according to the discipline schedule negotiated by the NFL and the NFL Players Association.
The NFL said while the team did not sanction the party, it was aware of the party after the fact and is being fined for failure to report the violations to the NFL and failure to discipline Rodgers and Lazard. The NFL also noted the unvaccinated Rodgers should have been wearing a mask during press conferences.
