Dear Brett,
You sure are a jerk. Just think about the epigraph on your tombstone. "Here lies Brett Favre. Best known for kissing the ass of Colin Kaepernick. Oh...and we think he may have played football, not sure."

Favre told TMZ Sports in a video interview that Kaepernick's willingness to sacrifice his NFL career to fight for social justice felt reminiscent of Tillman's sacrifice for his country. Tillman, a safety for the Arizona Cardinals, chose to leave the NFL for the U.S. Army in the wake of Sept. 11, 2001. He was killed by friendly fire in 2004 while deployed in Afghanistan. "I can only think of right off the top of my head Pat Tillman's another guy who did something similar, and we regard him as a hero," Favre said. "So I'd assume that hero status will be stamped with Kaepernick as well." Favre was asked by the TMZ Sports interviewer if Kaepernick had reached the stature of Jackie Robinson or Muhammad Ali for helping break societal barriers. Kaepernick is an angry Black male who stunk at football.

Please just go away and be remembered for being great. Nope, now he will be remembered for siding with the haters of our great America, that's it.
Favre didn't just cross a line... ...he fumbled in his own endzone, pottied on his own Country and his (once-and-former) fans, and thus he ensured his place in the dustbin of forgotten ingrate millionaires.
To: Rummyfan
I hope some team offers him a job this year, since it is mostly a lost year anyway.
I hope they put him in for all the pre-seaason games.
I’m guessing he will suck.
At some point, the left will say that he is being treated unfairly, and if you honor “Black Lives Matter”, you will stop tackling him in the backfield.

Whoever signs him will be stuck starting him & they never will be able to bench or cut him.

And what is forgotten in all this... HE OPTED OUT of a multimillion$ final year with the 49ers. Nobody forced him out of the NFL.

The word “hero” has no application whatever to people who play games, whether professionally or for recreation; and especially to those who throw tantrums during those games. The criteria for heroism are beyond the capability or inclination of such overgrown children.

As for Brett Favre, he must have fallen off his tractor or gotten kicked in the head by a mule.
Can't rule out STI, or inherent stupidity.

He’s being romanticized by the Media the way Curt Flood was when he refused a trade to from St. Louis to Philadelphia. The difference is that Curt Flood’s case eventually lead to the legal abolition of Baseball’s reserve clause. So while Flood didn’t want to play anymore, he (or rather his lawyers) actually achieved something lasting. Is there anything positive likely to happen from Kaepernick’s on-again/off-again career? I really don’t see it.
