Aaron Rodgers’ flirtation with politics was addressed in the second episode of his three-part Netflix documentary, "Enigma."

The New York Jets quarterback was floated as a possible running mate to Robert F. Kennedy, Jr. earlier this year before the independent presidential candidate eventually dropped out of the race and endorsed Donald Trump.

Rodgers and Kennedy went on a hike, and the four-time NFL MVP admitted to Kennedy that John F. Kennedy’s assassination in 1963 initially piqued his interest in politics.

"I mean, I got into politics back when I was a sophomore in high school. I mean, the idea, all around, honestly, your uncle’s death, and that was my first entrance into pulling the veil back, as I call it, on, like, what’s actually going on because I read the Warren Commission’s report about it. I remember it hit me going, ‘This is what they said happened?’ This can’t be real," he said.

"And then I went to Berkeley, which is a crazy political environment. It’s super leftist, and I grew up in a really conservative, small-town environment. So, that was fun to have, like, my ideologies tested. But, I mean, it’s … I’ve just been disheartened forever, that there’s a two-party system that’s really one party. The one party that's ruling is the people with the money. So, I really didn’t have any hope in politics until, really, you announced your candidacy."

Rodgers later confirmed Robert F. Kennedy Jr. asked him to be his running mate. However, he chose to continue playing football with the Jets.

"Retire and go into politics or play two or three more years," he said. "I definitely envisioned a life without football, and it wasn’t scary. I felt comfort in being able to move on at some point. But I love football. I want to keep playing. And I hated the way last year went. There’s still some unfinished business in New Jersey."

Amid the drama that came with the possibility of Rodgers being Kennedy’s running mate was a report that claimed he allegedly shared conspiracy theories about the Sandy Hook shooting.

Rodgers denied the allegations at the time and in the episode he seemed shocked that someone would paint him that way.

"Misrepresentation is a trigger for sure. Trauma, trigger, whatever," Rodgers said.

Netflix’s streaming issues during the heavily anticipated fight between boxing legend Mike Tyson and Jake Paul were problematic enough that it raised concerns for the NFL ahead of the league’s upcoming games that will be streamed exclusively on the platform on Christmas Day, according to one report. 

Buffering issues plagued fans tuning in to watch the historic matchup between one of the sport’s greats and its new up-and-coming boxer on Friday. Social media was flooded with complaints, and a lawsuit was even filed accusing the streaming platform of "breach of contract." 

Netflix addressed the issues in a statement Monday.

"This unprecedented scale created many technical challenges, which the launch team tackled brilliantly by prioritizing stability of the stream for the majority of viewers," Netflix executive Elizabeth Stone said. "I'm sure many of you have seen the chatter in the press and on social media about the quality issues. We don't want to dismiss the poor experience of some members and know we have room for improvement but still consider this event a huge success."

While company executives might have viewed the event as a "huge success," the user experience was enough for the NFL to reach out with concern. 

"The NFL did check in with Netflix following the Tyson-Paul fight to ask about the problems and assess the likelihood that they could repeat themselves on Christmas," ESPN reported Wednesday.

NETFLIX SUBSCRIBER SUES COMPANY FOR 'BREACH OF CONTRACT' OVER POOR QUALITY OF MIKE TYSON-JAKE PAUL FIGHT

"Netflix said the fight reached 60 million homes, and apparently part of the explanation to the league was that the unprecedented scale for them of broadcasting a live sporting event contributed to some of the challenges they faced." 

The report said the league walked away from those talks "reassured that Netflix had figured out what went wrong" and that it would not be an issue for the two games that day. 

The Pittsburgh Steelers will host the Kansas City Chiefs at 1 p.m. on Christmas, followed by the Baltimore Ravens at the Houston Texans. 

Despite the streaming issues, Friday’s bout did reach several milestones. According to Most Valuable Promotions, the fight had over 108 million live global viewers, making it the most-streamed sporting event ever. It was also the highest-grossing combat sports event in Texas at $18.1 million.

"I'm sure many of you have seen the chatter in the press and on social media about the quality issues. We don't want to dismiss the poor experience of some members and know we have room for improvement but still consider this event a huge success." 

Netflix also revealed Tuesday that Friday's live boxing event between Tyson and Paul drew 108 million viewers globally, making it the "most-streamed sporting event ever."

Netflix's live broadcast from AT&T Stadium in Arlington, Texas, peaked at 65 million concurrent households in the U.S. An estimated 56% of all TV viewership in the country was tuned into the Tyson-Paul fight between 12 a.m. and 1 a.m. ET, the streaming service added.

The co-main event, a rematch between Katie Taylor and Amanda Serrano, drew 74 million live viewers globally to become the most-watched professional women’s sports event in U.S. history.

Issues started to occur during the Mario Barrios-Abel Ramos bout and only increased ahead of the Serrano-Taylor fight.

Detector reported that at least 85,000 viewers reported problems. One particular moment ignited fierce backlash and mockery on social media for Netflix when boxing legend Evander Holyfield and Dallas Cowboys team owner Jerry Jones had their mics cut out while they were talking about the fights. Jones was touting the NFL’s partnership with Netflix.

Howard Stern warned Netflix on his radio show that it had better get it right.

"You know, I don’t how this stuff works, but you gotta make sure it works. … But if you f--- up people’s football, there’s gonna be hell to pay," Stern said.

Netflix will stream an NFL debut doubleheader on Christmas with games between the Kansas City Chiefs and Pittsburgh Steelers and the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans.
