Former NFL Quarterback Brett Favre, host of the podcast “Boiling with Favre,” discussed the increasingly politically-charged, woke sports environment with Daily Wire host Andrew Klavan.
Favre, who has been vocal about his disdain for the injection of politics into sports, said that he thinks “both sides” of the American public are dissatisfied with how sporting events have become a partisan tool.
“I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics,” Favre said. “At least that’s my interpretation. I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch the game. I want to watch the players play and teams win and lose and come from behind. I want to watch all the important parts of the game, not what’s going on outside the game. I think the general fan feels the same way.”

Brett sounds big and bad now, at Lunchtime.
Will he be begging the BLM’s for forgiveness by Dinnertime today?

I guess that we shall see.
Personally, I hope that Favre stands his ground.

I wonder if Brett will pull a Drew Brees after the hate mail starts coming.

I hope he stands his ground. But the woke will go after his sponsors. When that happens... most grovel.

Isn’t he a high school football coach now? If he is he’ll lose that gig pretty fast.

He’ll pull a “Drew”. Count on it.Unlike Brees, Favre is no longer actively playing and doesn't have to worry about his linemen leaving him vulnerable to some psychotic pass-rusher tearing him in two.

I think he has been saying this for months. So I don’t think he will backdown. He says from “both sides”, which I think is true. Even the few Democrats I know that watch sports, hate that the one “bond” we had is being destroyed.

Brees just recently retired. When he made his statement last summer he was looking at one more season of playing.

I'm going to see if CopperFit will drop him. Great products, so I hope they will keep him.
Sometimes I feel like putting on my business website, We are awake, but not not Woke. We do business with Americans - and Canadian snowbirds, too.😀
