SEC Network’s Jordan Rodgers takes awkward stance on Aaron Rodgers’ $1 million charity pledge

The well-documented Rodgers family drama exploded on social media Wednesday.

Former Vanderbilt quarterback and current SEC Network analyst Jordan Rodgers is best known for winning “The Bachelorette” in 2016. It’s fair to say that his time on the popular show probably had more to do with him getting an SEC Network job than his mostly forgettable football career.

During “The Bachelorette,” Jordan declined to talk about his famous brother, NFL megastar Aaron Rodgers. The Green Bay Packers quarterback confirmed he was not on speaking terms with much of his family.

Which brings us to Wednesday. Aaron posted a tweet to help raise funds ($1 million) for those affected by the California wildfires. Jordan decided to call out Aaron for what he sees as hypocrisy for not checking on his own family in the affected area.

PLEASE DONATE, SPREAD AWARENESS & SEND LOVE.

But when your own Mom is home alone during the fires, car packed ready to evacuate, & you miss the fundamental first step of compassion; calling your parents to make sure they are safe….

Everything else just feels like an act. https://t.co/glzDfqwsKz
