Brett Favre: 'Fans Clearly Do Not Want Political Messaging Mixed With Their Sports'

Brett Favre doesn't sound like a big fan of politics being injected into sports.



According to the Washington Post, the legendary Green Bay Packers quarterback was a member of Sinclair Broadcast Group's "America This Week" earlier in the week, and asked President Donald Trump, "The NBA and the NFL are struggling with lower ratings, as fans clearly do not want political messaging mixed with their sports. So how should the leagues support and promote an anti-racism position without becoming political and alienating fans?"



How bad has the politicization of sports ruined the product and alienated fans? That's hard to say for sure, but NBA commissioner Adam Silver has already gone on record that the social justice messages will mostly be gone next season.



He's not an idiot, and a quick look at the ratings make it clear there's a major issue.

I think the NBA commissioner is making a wise business decision.

Masvidal shared a Turning Point USA post that reads: "American leftists who know nothing about real oppression & communism wear images of Castro... while Cubans living in the horrors of communism and real oppression are waving the American flag."



The post features a 2016 photo of Kaepernick wearing a t-shirt with Fidel Castro on it countered with a picture of Cubans waving the American flag.

Kaepernick should move to a colour blind country like Cuba.

Despite being so wealthy, Colin Kaepernick must not have travelled abroad..



He's very ignorant of foreign nations.....and his own.

Poor Colin Kaepernick. He is a political prisoner trapped in his own delusions.

I can't stand that spoiled crybaby nincompoop Colin Kaepernick. He should put his money where his flapping gums are and  sell all his possessions and give the proceeds to low income earners. Problem solved, now go away Colin.

I like old Marco Rubio's offer to send him to Cuba.

Colin Kaepernick has a new special on Netflix, where he equates being an NFL player to slavery. The internet unmercifully ridiculed the comparison.



"Colin in Black and White" is a six-part docudrama series on Netflix "recounting his formative years navigating race, class, and culture while aspiring for greatness."



The over-the-top clip was obliterated on social media for trivializing the horrors of slavery and comparing it to athletes willingly accepting millions of dollars to play sports – including Kaepernick, who made over $43 million during his six-year NFL career.



Super Bowl-winning NFL player turned Congressman Burgess Owens: "How dare @Kaepernick7 compare the evil endured by so many of our ancestors to a bunch of millionaires who CHOSE to play game."



TheBlaze contributor Delano Squires: "I find Kaepernick's support of police/prison abolition a lot more problematic than this. William Rhoden, author of Forty Million Dollar Slaves, and others have been making this comparison for a long time. It's silly and dishonors the past, but I'm not surprised."



Conservative commentator Matt Walsh: "Kaepernick spent half a decade crying that NFL teams wouldn't give him a shot and now he's decided that actually being an NFL player is like being a slave. This dude is the most obvious and shameless con artist in modern American history."



Former Nevada GOP Chairwoman Amy Tarkanian: "The last time I checked, not one pro athlete is beaten into submission, raped, or killed. Many have obscene contracts while playing the victim. Kaepernick has hit an all-time low. It's disgusting that he chooses to make money by amplifying this BS."



Podcast host Lauren Chen: "No, Colin Kaepernick. Being a millionaire athlete is not like being a slave."



Fox Sports radio host Doug Gottlieb: "But he wants to play? I'm so confused by this... so #NFL teams are supposed to draft players w/o evals? By not signing him did the league 'free' Kap? Slavery was forced labor, the #NFL compensates you well. Someone make sense of this plz."



Former NFL player Jake Bequette: "This clip is pathetic. We chose to play the game that we loved and we were paid well to do it. Shame on @netflix, @Nike, and the @NFL for embracing @Kaepernick7's antics and his disgraceful message."



Conservative commentator Jonah Goldberg: "These fools are minimizing the evils of slavery. Paying millionaires to play a game they love is not exactly the same thing as chattel slavery. And if I were to suggest it was I'd be called a racist — and rightly so."



Outkick founder Clay Travis: "Colin Kaepernick compares the NFL combine, which allows all players of all races a voluntary chance to become multi-millionaires, to slavery. Anyone still defending this imbecile lacks a functional brain."



Conservative commentator Ashley St. Clair: "Colin Kaepernick compares the NFL to actual slave trade I must've missed the part where slaves were paid $43 MILLION like Kaepernick? What a spoiled loser."



Independent journalist Zaid Jilani: "If Kaepernick wants to learn about slavery he could start by asking his employer Nike how they produce goods in China."
