, who torched the NFL for years as a star quarterback for the Green Bay Packers, has proven himself to be something of a MAGA nut in recent years. Hopping back into that bag, the Mississippi native offered some thoughts on

Favre, who has routinely been against peaceful protest and social justice issues being mentioned during sporting events, tried to clarify his position on Wednesday (April 21).
“I just gave my opinion. I’m certainly not a racist in spite of what some people might think, and you know, I’m for unity and I just feel like there’s a better way to unify our country,” Favre shared.

Chauvin clearly didn’t give a damn that he was choking the life out of a man who had clearly surrendered.
Shame on Brett Favre for misleading his listeners and anyone else with any good sense with this moving of the goalpost.
