Twitter on Brett Favre and Colin Kaepernick
Brett Favre’s alleged role in the Mississippi Welfare fraud has made the Hall of Fame Quarterback a much-hated figure across the nation. As the scandal continues to unfold Favre is the center of criticism from all corners and there doesn’t seem to be any respite in sight. Brett Favre is familiar with scandals as he has had a fair share of them but this one is on a whole new level.
Favre, the Green Bay Packers legend, is being implicated in the Mississippi welfare fraud case which alleges that the poorest state in America, Mississippi’s poorest citizens were deprived of the federal money that was allocated for anti-poverty programs and used to the benefit of local officials and well-connected individuals. The sum involved is believed to be hundreds of millions. Brett Favre a Mississippi native is one of the greatest QBs ever to play the game of football and is one of the many high-profile people alleged to have benefited from the fraud.
Brett Favre vs Colin Kaepernick the comparison ensues on Twitter
It is alleged that Favre played a key role in diverting the welfare money for the construction of a Volleyball Stadium at his alma mater the University of Southern Mississippi where his daughter played the sport. There have been text messages and other documents floating around the internet about the same and all of this has resulted in Favre receiving a lot of flak especially when the world compares his actions to a certain San Francisco 49ers Quarterback Colin Kaepernick who was blackballed across the league for taking a knee during national anthems.
Twitter was raging-
Kaepernick has not played in the league since 2017 after he took a knee during the National anthem to protest against police brutality and was widely panned for his actions with many calling for his “firing” after which his team released him from his contract, he became a free agent and has not played a snap in the NFL ever since while Favre has a few skeletons in his closet like the inappropriate sexting scandal when he was a part of the Jets. This latest scandal tarnishes an already tarnished Hall of Fame legacy.
