Either Brett Favre has been hit in the head too many times, or he’s had too much to drink. The NFL is dead to me anyway, so it doesn’t really matter much to me anymore. But comparing a grifting, race hustler, anti-American piece of trash like Colin Kaepernick to Army Ranger Pat Tillman is just another nail in the NFL’s coffin. If the coronavirus is still going on when the NFL season starts and they don’t allow crowds, they can make their dwindling crowds behind COVID-19 for awhile. But when it’s over, the NFL will have a serious price to pay. And if Joe Biden manages to cheat his way into office, the virus will disappear the day after the election.

Brett Favre says that Colin Kaepernick’s decision to forego his NFL career in order to continue his anthem protests and social justice movement, is a sacrifice in league with former NFL player and Army Ranger Pat Tillman.
Further, Favre believes that eventually Kaepernick, like Tillman, will be thought of as a “hero.”
In a recent interview with TMZ, the former Packer legend went in-depth on his reasoning for believing that Kaepernick deserves heroic status for his protests and movement.
“It’s not easy for a guy his age — black or white, Hispanic, whatever — to stop something that you’ve always dreamed of doing, and put it on hold, maybe forever, for something that you believe in,” Favre explained.
“I can only think of right off the top of my head, Pat Tillman is another guy that did something similar,” Favre said. “And, we regard him as a hero. So, I’d assume that hero status will be stamped with Kaepernick as well.”
Pat Tillman walked away from a multi-million dollar deal with the then-St.Louis Rams, to become an Army Ranger. He was killed in Afghanistan in a friendly-fire incident in 2004.
