Jay Cutler claims he lost an Uber Eats deal over COVID mask mandate views

Jay Cutler’s anti-mask commentary resulted in an interception by Uber Eats, halting a deal between the former quarterback and food delivery chain.

Jay Cutler has been an… eccentric guy to say the least. His commentary on mask mandates is not new, especially amongst athletes in any sport. But it is harmful, especially with cases rising and prevalent in younger age groups. Regardless, the former Bears QB took to twitter to speak out on mask mandates for public school systems.

While you’d think it would stop there, it didn’t. He went on to say he’d run for the school board after doing his extensive research, which wasn’t that extensive. Plus, it’s not clear if his kids attend public school for him to be that concerned. But the effort is there.

Nonetheless, his commentary generated conversation on both sides, one that will cost him in partnership deals.

Jay Cutler’s commentary didn’t add anything new to the conversation, but it did subtract a deal from UberEats

Cutler’s commentary probably sounded good when it was just amongst his own faction of fans, until it reached his pockets. UberEats caught wind of his tweets and made a swift pick-six on what would’ve been a commercial deal with the company. So of the 160 INTs he’s thrown in his career, make this the 161st.

His weekend is freed up, and his Cutlets (the new name I’m giving to his fans) are cancelling the billion dollar brand. Though, UberEats may have dodged a bullet with that partnership honestly. For now, let’s keep an eye on his campaign trail for the 2024 school board.
