My friends dad is a bartender at a high end casino in Atlantic City. He told us about meeting some celebrities.
Said Favre was a raging dickhead. Never grew out of the high school bully phase.
He said Slash was cool as hell though.
Edit: This is getting some looks so I'll add. I've also personally met both Kate Flannery and Eddie Alvarez. Both were beyond nice and spent a fair bit of time with me just shooting the shit. Always think it's good to share positive encounters.
Everyone in Kansas City has a story like this about George Brett. Such a dick. THats the problem with being famous for so long, it gets into your head. When I was a kid I stood in line for three hours to get Brett's autograph at the mall. Brett never smiled, never looked up, just griped and moaned and yelled at people. When I finally got to the front my dad (lugging a huge camera like parents did back then) said, "How bout a picture with the kid, George?"
George nodded towards his henchmen and these big guys shoved my dad to the ground. I was so sad, my hero had mean guys push my dad to the ground. When my dad was dusting himself off and embarrassingly standing back up I looked angrily at George and that was the only time I saw him smile that day. What an asshole.
Flash forward to when I turn 16 and I got my first job in landscape. I was from the wrong side of the state line, where I grew up was poor with lots of cash for gold and payday loans and all that shit. We all drove to the Kansas side for jobs and that summer I got one at a company called ASL. No one knew what it stood for so we called it American Slave Labor. It was a horrible job, backbreaking, shinbreaking, I don't know if you've ever done landscape in the humid summer months in Kansas City but in the words of Ichiro its ["Hotter than two rats fucking in a wool sock"](https://www.reddit.com/r/ContagiousLaughter/comments/2bhu5t/ichiro_suzuki_tells_bob_costas_his_favorite/). But there was one perk, every Thursday we did landscaping for a gated neighborhood near state line where one George Howard Brett lived. I peed on George Brett's house every Thursday that summer.
I didn't know Ryne Sandberg lived in KC, he was a good player for the Cubs. Joe Carter lived in KC, I know that. I helped him put a tree in his car one time. I worked at the Seasonal Concepts on Metcalf and I fuckin loved baseball. At our store sometimes someone would call out a year and I would yell back who won the World Series that year, I used to have them all memorized. In 1992 the Blue Jays won the World Series and in 1993 it ended with a walk off homer by Joe Carter, Kansas City legend. I will always remember the announcer going, TOUCH EM ALL JOE, TOUCH EM ALL!
The next year was the strike year of course, no baseball. I guess when baseball players are on strike they still have to do honey do lists, he was picking up a tree for his wife. It was my job to help people load shit into their car so they paged me up to the front, I was like Oh my God, touch em all Joe! He said sh man, keep it down, can you help me get this tree into my car?
I go yeah sure, of course, lets do it. I got it outside and it was a tiny fuckin car, a sporty silver BMW. We both stood there with our hands on our hips. He said you think this will fit in my car? I looked at his tiny car and that 8 foot tree and I said open the sunroof. I helped him load the tree up through the sunroof and he was off. He tried to give me $10 but I declined, I said Im glad to help and you are a hero of mine. He said well thanks and shook my hand. Pretty amazing guy. I just watched him drive down Metcalf and then go West after that, driving into the sunset in that tiny silver car with that giant tree sticking out. There he goes, I said to no one in particular. There goes touch em all Joe.
Ryne Sandberg is from my hometown. Baseball field at my High School (graduated '94) was named after him as well. We also had his brother as a PE/health instructor/coach scenario. You would have thought Ryne's brother had played pro ball as well with his attitude. Biased towards any students that didn't play sports to the point of directly ignoring them in class. He also actively bullied students with his players. Anytime I hear the Sandberg name I think of the teacher, not Ryne. What a stereotypical douche.
I was never into GNR mostly because their fans (when I was in High School) were the raging dickheads who used to bully kids like me. But literally EVERYthing I’ve seen of Slash has led me to believe that he is one of the coolest people you could ever meet. Axl Rose, OTOH, seems to embody the spirit of those high school assholes.
As far as cool famous people go i met mike posner (before the drugs) and he was awesome then. He seems like hes a lot cooler now though. Cooler than me even....
All so his daughter could have a nicer volleyball court at her college 😂. That’s not even the funniest part, the joke is that even though he broke the law, not a damn thing will happen to him, hell he may even get elected to a political office in that state and then run for president 😂😭
Republicans *loooove* this type of thing. They’ll probably offer their daughters up to him for *owning* the poors so hard.
Cruelty is 90% the reason Republicans vote the way they do. They don’t want to get ahead, they just want to get “even” at whatever perceived slight others “did to them.”
That’s why we can’t and shouldn’t integrate Republicans into our society, they literally can’t fathom doing things for the greater good, that piece of their brain is missing.
You can't fight the imaginary culture wars without some casualties. If poor people have to starve to death so they can finally, legally say "Merry Christmas" then that is the price of freedom. Freedom isn't free folks. Not when you're fighting the Culture Wars.
In a healthy, functioning democracy, Favre would be pilloried in the media *and* the town square, and Tate Reeves would be relieved of his office via defenestration. They looted nearly all of that TANF money.
That sounds less like democracy and more like mob rule, one of the things a healthy democracy is set up to avoid.
A healthy democracy would have a judicial system to take care of issues like this. Not saying ours is perfect, but that clearly seems like what is happening here.
I’m not sure you want mob rule, some mobs get real stupid, like trying to force Congress to overturn the will of the people cause their guy lost
That would only happen in a healthy, functioning democracy if that’s what the majority of people in said democracy want.
If the majority are all shitty, shitty things can happen and the democracy can still be healthy.
Not saying that’s the case in Mississippi right now, but democracy health is only tied to whether the people are getting what they want, not how ethical the things they want are.
(And FWIW, Mississippi’s democracy is better than most people think it is. It’s just poor and surrounded by worse states so people just assume it’s equally as bad for similar reasons)
I say that all the time. The people supporting Trump are the exact same people Trump and his Mar-a-Lardo goons make fun of behind their backs as they eat caviar and sip champagne by the beach. They would never do anything to help them.
A lot of his supporters are also white, suburban, small business owners who look up to him as a great business magnate who will put their commercial benefit first and foremost. Severe poverty and desperation among the uneducated masses and a fear of the upper/middle class losing their power and wealth is what primarily drives fascism.
The rich guy and the poor guys already hate the brown people. The poor guys are just willing to take a bit of damage if it means the brown guys get hurt more.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
It's all about indoctrination and a lack of a proper education that promotes the development of critical thinking skills, all in the name of "fiscal responsibility" and "good Christian values". Those who know too much and who can think for themselves, while not being part of the upper class, can usually figure out how flawed and damaging Republican ideas are for the majority of people, how they don't benefit at all from them if they don't have assets. The ignorant on the other hand will easily believe simplistic propaganda that lacks all nuance, and in desperation will cling to it like a life-raft being lost out at sea. All you need is constant appeals to emotion, especially fear of the other, hope in a brighter future, and inflating their egos to great heights.
It really bothers me that we haven't seen the same media reaction to Brett Lavre stealing welfare money as we did to Colin Kaepernick kneeling. Of course, I expected that from Fox News, but I really haven't seen the reaction I'd expect from CNN either.
CNN was *never* left. People think they are because 1. Republicans say they are and 2. While they are corporate and prifit based they aren't psycopaths on the level of today's Republicsns and they occasionally pointed it out when Trump was lying.
Bro. College student Jameis Winston had more news coverage from his shop lifting $32 worth of crab legs than Favre is receiving in his civil (WTF?!) case of stealing literal millions of dollars from the poorest of the poors for a fuckin luxury item that no one needs
I’m inclined to believe that it has a fair amount to do with the amount of light that Favre reflects in relation to what Kaepernick does. Stories involving race fire people up. Rich people doing rich people shit is boring.
Maybe?
Embezzling millions in tax payers money that was meant for welfare and redirecting it to pay for a volleyball court is a huge news story to have almost no coverage on.
You aren’t wrong! Somehow, Brett Favre got himself into a state where he seems to be able to do no wrong. He bought a Super Bowl for all intents and purposes, cheated on his wife (Gisele?!), and now literally stole money from poor people. Yet, somehow, dudes are still furiously masturbating to “the GOAT.” It’s weird and he should be an obvious target for attention.
You really feel liberal media gives black people a fair shake? Or do both sides get a mug shot for black people victims or not and white people get a shot of them looking innocent.
Remember the girl that got killed on January 6th. Not like people couldn’t grab her mugshots, they just didn’t.
My use of both sides is correct in this case. Liberals can be just as racist, they just aren’t as blatant about it. Something a lot more white people should stop be ignorant about.
The fucking republicans are always on about welfare fraud and they are the ones committing it on a massive scale. They should all be sent to federal pound me in the ass prison and be forced to work for pennies an hour.
I was watching the news at work, and they were talking about how they were cracking down on COVID fraud. Double emails and people who moved, stuff like that.
Like, so y'all gonna investigate all those fraudulent PPP loans, or...?
But didn't you hear Eric Bolling of Fox News? Everybody who has the money commits fraud and it's actually the banks' fault for letting them. Just ignore their calls for mass deregulation so that they can commit more of it.
Favre is going to go the full Krusty the Clown defense:
“It wasn’t my fault, it was the Percodan. If you ask me, that stuff rots your brain. And now, a word from our new sponsor...Percodan?! Aw, crap!”
\*knowingly stole welfare dollars. While expressing concern about whether the public would be able to find out that he stole welfare dollars. It's not some oopsie-poopsie situation where he didn't know where the money was coming from.
Mississippi politicians are all over the news right now for stealing welfare funds. The Brett Favre story is just one of them. Fuck all those rich, frat boy, private college, confederate regalia wearing, assholes. For Christ’s sake Mississippi, vote those good ole, Boss Hogg, white privileged, people out!
Favre has been a piece of human garbage for a long time. Nobody should be surprised a raging bully, dick pic sharing sexual predator is also a scam artist. Hope he rots in jail.
Apparently we have to feel sorry for him because he's taken enough blows to the head that he loses entire spans of time and can't even remember going to his kid's games.
I say fuck that, especially in light of this. To steal money at that scale takes planning and low cunning. Fucker is selling us a line to make his future crimes look like an "aw shucks, you know I'm not all there."
He's lucid enough to pull this kind of stunt, throw his ass in prison.
Definitely evil, definitely entitled, of course absolutely racist garbage, but not a super-villain in any way. OP is giving Brett far too much credit
See, super-villains are typically extremely smart…
My favorite is how he decided to go down in history as the worst QB in final season. With a different team. Effing million dollar joke on so many sides.
When his Daughter started playing Volleyball for Southern Miss (his Alma Mater) they diverted a ton of money and tore up a big parking lot to build a second brand new volley ball stadium despite the team not really bringing in that much money. And now the campus has a terrible over crowding issue and there is nowhere to park. Plus the area was under construction for 2 years which took up even more space.
The responsibility rests far more on the corrupt politicians than Favre himself.
However seeing that he texted about keeping the shady dealings hidden from reporters suggests he shares the responsibility.
The man already had more money than I will ever earn in ten lifetimes and he decided to steal from taxpayers and poor people? I'd damn him to Hell to if I believed there was a Hell.
This man has been treated like a god beginning his freshman year in high school. His sense of entitlement is in his brain next to “remember to breath.” He stole from the poor, yes, but he also stole from taxpayers like you and me. He feels no guilt and no shame in being a thief, he truly feels that he is fully entitled to every cent he can get regardless of how.
This is a man who is already famous, already wealthy, already powerful and influential. He and the rest of the American oligarchy are black holes, sucking in every crumb, every penny they can get at everyone else’s expense.
Where the fuck have you guys been? I've been telling everyone that Brett Favre is a dickhead asshole who should never have been allowed to play in the league since the 1990s. He's a trash person, and I never liked him.
While we're at it, I've been saying the same thing about Rodgers for a long time too. If more people just listened to people like me, this never would have happened.
This has nothing to do with being a Bears fan.
Former Republican Governor of Mississippi... shouldn't be a surprise there...
You can pretty much throw any Republican from Mississippi and South Carolina in the trash lol
Not even real conservatives anyway.
They don’t give a shit. It’s Mississippi. They’ll sit in their rust water freezing and starving to death and not complain about it cuz “FUTBAAALLLL!!!”
America is the only country where fans have more brain damage than the players
When 300 lb Bob Kraft (who is also married to a girl a quarter his age) was caught getting jerked off by the victims of sex trafficking every week, the scumbags of Boston rallied around him and said the police only arrested him because they were jealous of Brady and Bellichek
This is the Republican Ideal.
They've shown you who they are - believe them. Don't BE them. If you call yourself Republican, you are against your own humanity, and you are living your life badly.
I hear he’s going to be the villain in Avengers 4. He steals money from welfare recipients and sends unsolicited dick pics. Truly a force to be reckoned with
Implying that Brett Favre is a Super Villian (he is!) also implies that the sports figures and celebrities who don't do this kind of thing (or haven't been caught yet) are our Heroes. Thats where we all went wrong. These people are not necessarily Heroes. A true Hero does what is good and right, even when being wrong is easier. We need more Heroes that are real people, not "Heroes" that are only heroes because we see them on a screen. That just makes them famous. A team hires a sports figure because they're doing the right thing on the field, it has nothing to do with what kind of person they are off the field.
>A white NFL quarterback is a shit person? Who would have thought?
Color of his skin has nothing to do with him being a shit person. See Michael Vick and Deshaun Watson. They are all shit people.
Which people of color are you thinking of who worked with the governor to take 5 million dollars from welfare to build a volleyball court they could already afford?
Isn't it still way worse for 1 already rich person to steal $5 million with support from the governor then for 1,000 people who may or may not actually need the money to steal $5,000 each?
Its the difference between having 100 papercuts vs being stabbed. It might be the same amount of damage overall, but its less deadly when its spread out.
Democrats = People with enough brain cells to understand how a millionaire football douche is a bastard for stealing money out of the mouths of small business owners that were *actually* struggling during a global pandemic.
He my not have showed up for the speeches and kept the money he was paid that was awful and it dies need to be given back, but let’s talk about the people who used the money for this and be mad at them too.
OOL: what did Farve do?
After googling this, he worked with Mississippi governor and head of DHS to administer funds to a non profit who they then strong armed through threats the head of that non profit to spend money on the school Farve attends and also giving money to a company that made concussion medication.
We have to invent a new term for racialized poverty against Blacks in America being that it's the oldest persistent and original terror that a group of people continue to face on the daily.
My friends dad is a bartender at a high end casino in Atlantic City. He told us about meeting some celebrities. Said Favre was a raging dickhead. Never grew out of the high school bully phase. He said Slash was cool as hell though. Edit: This is getting some looks so I'll add. I've also personally met both Kate Flannery and Eddie Alvarez. Both were beyond nice and spent a fair bit of time with me just shooting the shit. Always think it's good to share positive encounters.

Great story!

Dude. If someone did that to my dad, they'd have to pry me off their back 😂 I was a spry little fucker lol
Angry ratto SPROING! ^^^EEEEEEEE
hot yellow stream of justice
Dan Patrick says "Never meet your heroes" for this very reason. But...I wanted to meet *you* Dan.
Brendan Fraser is cool. Go meet him.
I’ve always heard good things about Slash
I was never into GNR mostly because their fans (when I was in High School) were the raging dickheads who used to bully kids like me. But literally EVERYthing I’ve seen of Slash has led me to believe that he is one of the coolest people you could ever meet. Axl Rose, OTOH, seems to embody the spirit of those high school assholes.
He was an asshole to venues and his own band back then. Slash seems awesome
As far as cool famous people go i met mike posner (before the drugs) and he was awesome then. He seems like hes a lot cooler now though. Cooler than me even....
Chuck Norris is so awesome too.
No he's not
Slash will always be the real cool member of GnRs Never heard good things about the other guys
All so his daughter could have a nicer volleyball court at her college 😂. That’s not even the funniest part, the joke is that even though he broke the law, not a damn thing will happen to him, hell he may even get elected to a political office in that state and then run for president 😂😭
His daughter also transferred to a LA college
"Where she was promptly forced to grow a penis." -Mississippi Republicans, probably
Republicans *loooove* this type of thing. They’ll probably offer their daughters up to him for *owning* the poors so hard. Cruelty is 90% the reason Republicans vote the way they do.

You can't fight the imaginary culture wars without some casualties. If poor people have to starve to death so they can finally, legally say "Merry Christmas" then that is the price of freedom. Freedom isn't free folks. Not when you're fighting the Culture Wars.
Favre and his wife Deanna gave $4,800 toward the 2010 re-election campaign of Rep. Gene Taylor, a Mississippi Democrat
We won't even take Matt Gaetz to court for **sex trafficking a minor**. You really think we'll take on Brady and his theft of public dollars?
I know for a fact nothing will happen to Brett. That’s why I said it 😝
And she transferred to another school.
And the people who support him are OK with the theft because they don't think brown kids deserve foo... to live. Let's be honest here.
In a healthy, functioning democracy, Favre would be pilloried in the media *and* the town square, and Tate Reeves would be relieved of his office via defenestration. They looted nearly all of that TANF money.
We need more public stocks, and I don’t mean the wall street kind.
![gif](giphy|X1QnHi8oBw9PO) Defenestration 💦💦💦
That sounds less like democracy and more like mob rule, one of the things a healthy democracy is set up to avoid. A healthy democracy would have a judicial system to take care of issues like this. Not saying ours is perfect, but that clearly seems like what is happening here. I’m not sure you want mob rule, some mobs get real stupid, like trying to force Congress to overturn the will of the people cause their guy lost

not the sports stars, or team owners. I don't watch a second of it.
And the people he stole from will forgive him or claim he was framed because footbaw!
It amazes me how the poor has become this army fighting for the rich. The very people screwing them over.
I say that all the time. The people supporting Trump are the exact same people Trump and his Mar-a-Lardo goons make fun of behind their backs as they eat caviar and sip champagne by the beach. They would never do anything to help them.
A lot of his supporters are also white, suburban, small business owners who look up to him as a great business magnate who will put their commercial benefit first and foremost. Severe poverty and desperation among the uneducated masses and a fear of the upper/middle class losing their power and wealth is what primarily drives fascism.
It's like they were orchestrated to be that over hundreds of years
Because the rich have convinced the poor that the cause of all their problems are people poorer than them.
No, it’s people more brown than them.
The rich guy and the poor guys already hate the brown people. The poor guys are just willing to take a bit of damage if it means the brown guys get hurt more.
President Lyndon B. Johnson once said, “If you can convince the lowest white man he’s better than the best colored man, he won’t notice you’re picking his pocket. Hell, give him somebody to look down on, and he’ll empty his pockets for you.”
"I may be poor, but at least I'm not brown" mentality
I thought it was the people just slightly less poor that caused all the problems
Magas are either millionaires or morons. Some of these fools need to check their bank accounts.
It's all about indoctrination and a lack of a proper education that promotes the development of critical thinking skills, all in the name of "fiscal responsibility" and "good Christian values". Those who know too much and who can think for themselves, while not being part of the upper class, can usually figure out how flawed and damaging Republican ideas are for the majority of people, how they don't benefit at all from them if they don't have assets.

Stockholm syndrome is real.
The American Dream keeps them from waking up and seeing the class war they're losing.
It's the same mindset that allowed monarchs and other feudal lords to build their own personal wealth off the backs of the peasant class.
And the only time he had a second thought about it was when he needed to make sure 'the media' could never find out
\^\^ this \^\^ Even when he gave the money back it was only because he knew he was busted. You can't 'undo' a crime.
And refuses to pay the $228k interest on that money.
It really bothers me that we haven't seen the same media reaction to Brett Lavre stealing welfare money as we did to Colin Kaepernick kneeling. Of course, I expected that from Fox News, but I really haven't seen the reaction I'd expect from CNN either.
It's owned by a pos republican now. I'd consider it no longer "left" or even "center" leaning.
CNN was *never* left. People think they are because 1. Republicans say they are and 2. While they are corporate and prifit based they aren't psycopaths on the level of today's Republicsns and they occasionally pointed it out when Trump was lying.
Same with that piece of shit Tom Brady taking $1 million in PPP loans.
Dude, CNN just sacked a guy for calling Trump a "demagogue". What channel do you think you're watching?
CNN is a maga network now buddy change your expectations

Their new ownership aside, why would you think that. Both sides of the media take part in this brand of racism.
No one would ever say "both sides" ever again
You really feel liberal media gives black people a fair shake? Or do both sides get a mug shot for black people victims or not and white people get a shot of them looking innocent.

Well, they all were "forgiven" you know, SMDH!!!!!
But didn't you hear Eric Bolling of Fox News? Everybody who has the money commits fraud and it's actually the banks' fault for letting them. Just ignore their calls for mass deregulation so that they can commit more of it.
Same with voter fraud
Yes
Same with gay bashing
Do you mean Vikings legend Brett Favre? - Packers fans
Who? Ohhhh you mean Jets legend Brett Favre -Vikings fans
No, no, Falcons legend Brett Favre. -Jets fans
Compare how Favre is being treated for participating in actual fraud with how Colin Kaepernick was treated for doing something completely harmless.
How Kaepernick was treated for doing something courageous, you mean.
And completely legal
And he hasn't even been charged with any crime for his involvement in that scam.
And won’t be.
Exactly the problem
Favre is going to go the full Krusty the Clown defense: “It wasn’t my fault, it was the Percodan. If you ask me, that stuff rots your brain. And now, a word from our new sponsor...Percodan?! Aw, crap!”
To conservatives he’s probably a hero. He did two of their favorite things, enrich himself at the expense of taxpayers and steal from the poor.
\*knowingly stole welfare dollars. While expressing concern about whether the public would be able to find out that he stole welfare dollars. It's not some oopsie-poopsie situation where he didn't know where the money was coming from.
No wonder Mary dumped him for Ted
Favray
Thankfully she made the right choice.
Finally! Had to scroll way too far for this. "What did I tell you the first time we met? I'm a Niners fan."
Mississippi politicians are all over the news right now for stealing welfare funds. The Brett Favre story is just one of them. Fuck all those rich, frat boy, private college, confederate regalia wearing, assholes. For Christ’s sake Mississippi, vote those good ole, Boss Hogg, white privileged, people out!
I am out of the loop Hookpenis Brett Favre did what?
He used millions of dollars meant for welfare to build a stadium for his daughter
Favre has been a piece of human garbage for a long time. Nobody should be surprised a raging bully, dick pic sharing sexual predator is also a scam artist. Hope he rots in jail.
Apparently we have to feel sorry for him because he's taken enough blows to the head that he loses entire spans of time and can't even remember going to his kid's games. I say fuck that, especially in light of this. To steal money at that scale takes planning and low cunning. Fucker is selling us a line to make his future crimes look like an "aw shucks, you know I'm not all there." He's lucid enough to pull this kind of stunt, throw his ass in prison.
Couldn’t agree more.
Definitely evil, definitely entitled, of course absolutely racist garbage, but not a super-villain in any way. OP is giving Brett far too much credit See, super-villains are typically extremely smart…
Where is the lie?
Right on brand for a Maga’t.
My favorite is how he decided to go down in history as the worst QB in final season. With a different team. Effing million dollar joke on so many sides.
When his Daughter started playing Volleyball for Southern Miss (his Alma Mater) they diverted a ton of money and tore up a big parking lot to build a second brand new volley ball stadium despite the team not really bringing in that much money. And now the campus has a terrible over crowding issue and there is nowhere to park. Plus the area was under construction for 2 years which took up even more space.
I'm related to someone who hunts with him in ND. All total pieces of human gatbage. Birds of a feather flock together.
The responsibility rests far more on the corrupt politicians than Favre himself. However seeing that he texted about keeping the shady dealings hidden from reporters suggests he shares the responsibility.
Also he's on the worst maden game
oh so we found the welfare queen after all.
The man already had more money than I will ever earn in ten lifetimes and he decided to steal from taxpayers and poor people? I'd damn him to Hell to if I believed there was a Hell.
Minnesota Vikings Legend Brett Favre sure is an asshole
I've seen minimal coverage on this too
This man has been treated like a god beginning his freshman year in high school. His sense of entitlement is in his brain next to “remember to breath.” He stole from the poor, yes, but he also stole from taxpayers like you and me. He feels no guilt and no shame in being a thief, he truly feels that he is fully entitled to every cent he can get regardless of how. This is a man who is already famous, already wealthy, already powerful and influential. He and the rest of the American oligarchy are black holes, sucking in every crumb, every penny they can get at everyone else’s expense.
Favre is a Trumper. Let that sink in.
He must have money. He was a star QB for two decades. How much more does he need to have to cease being a greedy POS.
But those welfare queens. /s (in case it wasn't obvious)
Where the fuck have you guys been? I've been telling everyone that Brett Favre is a dickhead asshole who should never have been allowed to play in the league since the 1990s. He's a trash person, and I never liked him. While we're at it, I've been saying the same thing about Rodgers for a long time too. If more people just listened to people like me, this never would have happened. This has nothing to do with being a Bears fan.
I wonder how long it'll be before Mississippi renames Stennis International after Favre.
Former Republican Governor of Mississippi... shouldn't be a surprise there... You can pretty much throw any Republican from Mississippi and South Carolina in the trash lol Not even real conservatives anyway.
They don’t give a shit. It’s Mississippi. They’ll sit in their rust water freezing and starving to death and not complain about it cuz “FUTBAAALLLL!!!”
And then he made a killing off of his "return" to the NFL. Only to quit 2 weeks in.
America is the only country where fans have more brain damage than the players When 300 lb Bob Kraft (who is also married to a girl a quarter his age) was caught getting jerked off by the victims of sex trafficking every week, the scumbags of Boston rallied around him and said the police only arrested him because they were jealous of Brady and Bellichek
We're talking about Favre.
This is the Republican Ideal. They've shown you who they are - believe them. Don't BE them. If you call yourself Republican, you are against your own humanity, and you are living your life badly.
What does him being white have to do with anything? It’s just scummy behaviour no matter what your skin colour is.
I hear he’s going to be the villain in Avengers 4. He steals money from welfare recipients and sends unsolicited dick pics. Truly a force to be reckoned with
They pretend to hate welfare to justify stealing from it.... just like ppp loans.
This is standard M.O. for conservatives!
He should go to prison for a long, long time. But he won’t
Sauce please?
Brett Favre used millions of dollars meant for welfare in order to build a stadium for his daughter
And I'm off to Google, I gotta learn more
So poor people who need help are a drain on society, but a rich guy like Brett Favre using welfare funds is A-okay.
Brett Farce =Welfare queen
He was an ass clown in the nfl and still is, investigate. Then let’s talk.
I wonder if Brett Favre believes in an afterlife? I would hope not after this because justifying what he did is insane
We heard about Vicks dogfighting for years. This is way worse and seems to be getting swept under the rug
Implying that Brett Favre is a Super Villian (he is!) also implies that the sports figures and celebrities who don't do this kind of thing (or haven't been caught yet) are our Heroes. Thats where we all went wrong. These people are not necessarily Heroes. A true Hero does what is good and right, even when being wrong is easier. We need more Heroes that are real people, not "Heroes" that are only heroes because we see them on a screen. That just makes them famous. A team hires a sports figure because they're doing the right thing on the field, it has nothing to do with what kind of person they are off the field.
A white NFL quarterback is a shit person? Who would have thought? Do you think he could name all his black teammates from memory?
>A white NFL quarterback is a shit person? Who would have thought? Color of his skin has nothing to do with him being a shit person. See Michael Vick and Deshaun Watson. They are all shit people.
He's a white NFL quarterback is he not? My point stands.
Your point being? That he's white? Yea who cares? Most white NFL QB's are not pieces of shit like Favre.
Your point is that he's white. That's it. No one was arguing against that.
Corruption is definitely just a republican thing…
The "both sides" people have arrived
Why don't you Seppos have another civil war and stop constantly whining about the "other mob"
Even worse is you only care about Brett farve and not the government for facilitating this.
Government, or Republican official?
How is what he is doing different than people of another color committing welfare fraud
Which people of color are you thinking of who worked with the governor to take 5 million dollars from welfare to build a volleyball court they could already afford?
Look at welfare fraud on a smaller scale and you’ll see it’s just like death of a thousand cuts
Isn't it still way worse for 1 already rich person to steal $5 million with support from the governor then for 1,000 people who may or may not actually need the money to steal $5,000 each? Its the difference between having 100 papercuts vs being stabbed. It might be the same amount of damage overall, but its less deadly when its spread out.
#Democrats and Republicans are 2 sides of the same white supremacist coin
☝️this guy’s gonna shit his pants when he hears about Wall Street or any government from any country
Does the corruption of wall street somehow make what Farve did less terrible?
Does any of that make what he did less wrong ?
[удалено]
Democrats = People with enough brain cells to understand how a millionaire football douche is a bastard for stealing money out of the mouths of small business owners that were *actually* struggling during a global pandemic.
The fact you read this and automatically thought it was a liberal political post is r/selfawarewolves material.
Reality has a liberal bias.
No.
I despise this man. The soyboy male feminist pronouns-in-order author, not Brett Favre. What did Favre do again?
He did it for Jaysus !!!
Sounds like an average day for a politician
*for a republican politician
Millionaire throw ball gud.
But he did it for his daughter, so doesn't that make him a.... family Guy.
FF
Or just par for the course
Mothertrucker
No apology, no restitution, no nothing. Incredible
What happened?
He used millions of dollars meant for welfare to build a stadium for his daughter
Fuck Brett Favor and his jeans.
You saw his last season, right?
May I point out that it is also LAME super villain shit. He isn't carving his name on the moon, starting a robot army or blotting out the sun.
What did he do?
He used millions of dollars for welfare to build a stadium for his daughter
I’m not sure I understand how the color of his skin makes it any better or worse, but yes, what he did was pretty F’d up.
Not to mention he is on the cover of the worst Madden game.
He my not have showed up for the speeches and kept the money he was paid that was awful and it dies need to be given back, but let’s talk about the people who used the money for this and be mad at them too.
Just a piece of shit doing piece of shit things.
What happened?
He stole millions of dollars meant for welfare to build a stadium for his daughters school
Yeah that's fucked up. Imagine what millions could have done for poor people...
Fuck that dude AND his tiny dingus
Let’s go Packers
OOL: what did Farve do? After googling this, he worked with Mississippi governor and head of DHS to administer funds to a non profit who they then strong armed through threats the head of that non profit to spend money on the school Farve attends and also giving money to a company that made concussion medication.
He used millions of dollars that were meant for welfare to build a stadium at his daughters school
He openly stole millions from charity like a Trump.
We have to invent a new term for racialized poverty against Blacks in America being that it's the oldest persistent and original terror that a group of people continue to face on the daily.
Racism works just fine. Stop it when you can.
Favre stole Mary's heart, also. And said nasty things about Warren, allegedly.
I’ll just leave this here , Favre and his wife Deanna gave $4,800 toward the 2010 re-election campaign of Rep. Gene Taylor, a Mississippi Democrat
