Brett Favre on Monday backtracked his remarks equating Colin Kaepernick with Pat Tillman, the former Arizona Cardinals safety who left his career to join the Army after 9/11.

The Hall of Fame quarterback said his comments during an interview with TMZ Sports was not meant to compare Kaepernick and Tillman, “but a recognition that they both sidelined their football dreams in pursuit of a cause.”

“I can only think of right off the top of my head, Pat Tillman is another guy that did something similar,” Favre told TMZ Sports on Saturday. “And, we regard him as a hero. So, I’d assume that hero status will be stamped with Kaepernick as well.” You only made it worse with that comment Brett. I hope your are hounded every day over your stupidity and ignorance. Backtracking now will not work. You have insulted every veteran, every Gold Star family, every serving military member. Get lost. (Retired Army Officer)

Chinese-Style Social Credit scores are coming to America, and this is the beginning, you’d better say good things about Black Lives Matter if you are going to make a living in this country.

both sidelined their football dreams in pursuit of a cause

One was defending Freedom and the American Way, the other is promoting Communism,Fascism and Marxism and wants to Destroy America and Freedom.

Obviously you have severe Brain Injuries from getting hit too many times, you should be in Isolation for the protection of others or just commit suicide and save us all.

Colon Capernick’s didn’t sideline his career for a greater cause. He was washed up and decided to throw a tantrum.

Copper fit and other things he can’t remember.

You can’t be too hard on a guy that won’t know who he is in a few years.

Negatory there bro.

Kaepernick’s career was essentially over so, he became a SJW to enhance his resume.

Now he is washed out.

Tillman was 10 years younger and willing to give his life.

What has this cost Kaepernick?

Obviously suffering from Copper fit compression concussion. Tillman stood up and gave it all up for soemthing greater than himself. Colon Crappingneck took a knee. Can believe how pussified these white boys are of the black mob!

Then Brett displayed his new hairdo (see below) to show his full support for another NFL free-thinking giant like Kaepernick, Michael Sam, the first openly gay twinkle-toes player ever drafted by the NFL.

This would have made me really not like Brett Favre, if I weren’t already from Detroit. FTP.

Brett Favre played for the New York Jets? I did not know that until the past three minutes when I check his career. That is how closely I have followed the NFL in the past 20 or so years. Really, he played for the Jets? Huh.

Brett, you ignorant fool, even mentioning Colon Krapernick was a stupid mistake. He is a non-person. You can’t compare him with any living or deceased person. You have sullied the memory of a true hero, Pat Tillman. You should be taken out back and have an appropriate adjustment administered to your inadequate brain.
You accomplished one thing by stupidly opening your mouth, on this subject. Nobody will ever care about how you pronounce your last name. You will be remembered for stupidly trying to compare a douche bag to a hero!
May you never live this down!
