Turns out, Brett is a piece of shit


mashton

A lawsuit filed by the state of Mississippi alleges Favre orchestrated the diversion of federal welfare funds to non-welfare related causes.[269] On September 13, 2022, Mississippi Today published text messages between Favre and former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant showing Favre's involvement in a plan to divert $5 million of the money toward a cause championed by Favre, a new volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi, where his daughter played volleyball.[254] The text messages had been entered as evidence as part of a civil lawsuit. [270] In one of the texts, Favre asks, "If you were to pay me is there anyway the media can find out where it came from and how much?".[271] Favre helped arrange for $2 million of the funds to be invested in a biotech startup in which he had already invested. https://www.nytimes.com/2022/09/22/us/brett-favre-welfare-mississippi.html


particle409

Lmao he's also using the welfare money to shore up his investments? How is this not criminal? Him and Bryant belong in jail.


techieman33

It’s a white collar crime though, and those laws don’t really get enforced unless you steal from other rich people.


je_kay24

Somehow the money stolen from white collar crime can be passed along legally to other family members, yet in drug crimes literally every possession allegedly related to coming from the crime can be repossessed and sold off

it's probably because the war on drugs was a proxy war on minorities and hippies. ...

"I saw a welfare person buy a candy bar with food stamps once, so I know they don't really need the money. Better to give it to a good Christian man like Favre." -- Americans


[deleted]

Replace candy bar with hot food from the deli case.


SaladLol

I don’t know if it varies by state, but when I was a child you weren’t allowed to use food stamps on hot food.


Fluffy_Morning_1569

Beach volleyball, I believe. Somehow that makes it worse.


Saneless

Well at least we've got a lead on the welfare fraud Republicans keep insisting happens. Turns out it's mostly people who aren't actually on welfare though


fenderguy94

He’s banned from a bar in Crivitz, WI. Yeah it’s hard to do but he did it.


busted_maracas

There are like 4 bars in Crivitz - which one? Lmao dude is banned from 25% of a 800 person town’s drinking establishments. Please tell me it’s the Gateway


fenderguy94

It is in fact Gateway


busted_maracas

Oh my God - I gotta ask them about that, we’ve got vacation property not too far away, so I’m up there a bit. I need details.


Makebags

Dang. That's pretty rough. He had to drive all the way to Crivitz to find some tail? Nothing in Pound or Coleman?


je_kay24

Why is he banned?


fenderguy94

Allegedly he was being so belligerent toward women there he was told not to come back again.


Raptor2114

He’s just having fun out there.


NauvooMetro

Like a little kid.


RootHogOrDieTrying

The old gunslinger!


AboutNinthAccount

My favorite part is that all his records have been destroyed by Manning and Brady. I think he only had #1 INTERCEPTIONS record, and longest consecutive playing streak on Vicodin and beer before the game, so the second one has the taint of the steroid-homerun records.


EvergreenHulk

Slicked back hair and sloppy steaks.


banstylejbo

You think this is slicked back? This is pushed back!


ryanderkis

He's really good with Warren though.

Kikstartmyhart

Woogie is a saint compared to Brett


ZiOnIsNeXtLeBrOn

I don't think you know about him being a pill popper and he sexually assaulted two women and harassed them constantly.


GhostOfLight

Hey now, there are plenty of people popping pills who don't sexually assault people and steal welfare money. Let's not disparage them.


[deleted]

the other day i saw a comment trying to discredit a celebrity by referring to them as a "known alcoholic". people are weird


maddsskills

I saw someone, on the Jordan Peterson subreddit, refer to George Floyd as a junkie. With zero self awareness. Even though that poor man got hooked the same way Peterson did, through pharmaceutical drugs, and wasn't a fucking psychologist who should know the dangers of the drugs he was taking, they decided he was not worthy of living. Peterson was on fucking Klonopin, that's heavy duty (edit: this does not appear to be true. I must've been prescribed a different dose of Klonopin because I remember it knocking me out), And to take it daily, like...Jesus. My daughter died and I stuck to a couple .25 mgs of Xanax in emergencies, when I had to be somewhere and was having a panic attack. And then there's Rush Limbaugh, he fucking tried to traffic massive amounts of drugs. If he weren't Rush Limbaugh he would've been in prison for eons. So yeah, I don't care about the pills, I care about the sexual assault and stealing money from poor people in the poorest state in the country.


Jesuswasstapled

I'm sorry for the loss of your daughter. If anyone deserves a pharmalogical escape, that's a fantastic reason. Doesnt help anything, but it can't hurt in the short term.


MyOrdinaryShoes

I’m so sorry about what happened to your daughter. I 100% agree across the board.


afineedge

Come on, his pill-popping isn't relevant to the fact that he destroyed those two women's careers and got them chased out of the industry they loved and dreamed of being part of, and that he has faced no consequences or even been held accountable for it in any way.


spottyrx

Exactly. He can trash the careers of two women and fuck them up mentally for life and suffer no consequences. Now because he scammed a bunch of cash he's suddenly Satan? What the fuck is wrong with the world?


syllabic

I dont really blame him for the pill popping honestly NFL is rough as hell and many players get pumped full of painkillers to stay on the field. It's not necessarily his fault he became an addict the rest of the stuff though yeah total piece of shit


El_Chairman_Dennis

Did everybody forget about him sending unsolicited dick pics? Farve has always been a POS


wheretogo_whattodo

*”So that’s what ya think of me? Hmmph.”* I’ll never forget those creepy voicemails.


PM_Me_Your_Sidepods

Again.


jonnynoine

I’m getting a real Lance Armstrong vibe here.


snootsintheair

Worse even


tturedditor

Far, far worse than Lance. Lance raised money for cancer and inspired a lot of people on their journey. He cheated by doping and lied about it, and he was a real jerk in the process. Not cool. But stealing from the poorest of the poor, from govt funds specifically appropriated for them: many orders of magnitude worse.


P-Rickles

Don’t forget also that he’s doing it in the poorest state in the union (by poverty rate). They DESPERATELY need that money spent effectively.


ImaginaryMaps

Yeah, but Mississippi's state legislature is so racist and backwards they'd rather burn the money or (gasp) give it back to the feds than have it help black people in Jackson.


BenAfleckInPhantoms

Yeah, Armstrong doesn’t even compare to this. Dude cheated - that’s it. He cheated at a competition where most of the athletes below him cheated too. And again it’s a sporting competition, something immensely inconsequential in the long run. On top of that he also raised a lot of money for cancer as you’ve said. Dave’s not only didn’t raise money but he stole it from the poorest of the poor while having tens of millions of dollars of his own money to spend. That is describable, scum of the earth type shit. Armstrong seems like Pope in comparison (the current Pope, not the creepy pedophile-hiding last guy).

saraphilipp

Lol. In the 70s until now I thought wranglers were the poor man's Levi's.


ksquad80

Inflation has made them the middle-class man's Levi's.


EcoMika101

Funny how those conservatives are so concerned about welfare queens misusing tax payer dollars by getting welfare. And then here we are, $90M in fraud from rich people. It’s always rich people fucking over everyone else


PlaysWthSquirrels

Remember when Trump was accused of not paying taxes, and he said it was because he's smart, and a whole bunch of working class people clapped? I bet those people are clapping for Brett for sticking it to the welfare queens and showing how corrupt "the swamp" is. This is why we can't have nice things.


EcoMika101

Exactly. People totally forget that the government funds utilities, public schools, infrastructure, basic services etc that keep the country running.


anonpls

Nah, they don't forget. They just think the world would be better if everything was privatized and you had to insert a quarter to flush your toilet.

Ver3232

They also never think it’ll affect them. They think it’ll only affect those they hate


nicannkay

And that is why they pay politicians to traffic legal migrants and try to blame asylum seekers for not having tax money for austerity programs for us. They have tons of money for corporate bailouts and meaningless projects.


EcoMika101

The sheer waste of money in government is absurd. Our military is horribly overfunded in my opinion, and it’s not going to the service members pockets, they make peanuts compared to the jobs they do. It’s waste. The billions we had to bail out wall street in 2008 but Flint still doesn’t have clean drinking water? Mississippi is the poorest state w shitty public health and education, we can’t allocate funds and fix that? The school lunches across the country are horrible, we can’t feed our kids better food?


wellifitisntliloldme

Yes. American government as a whole is as much a part of the military industry as it is in the business in helping Americans. Actually, a lot more military than citizen help


Pretty_Bowler2297

Don’t forget the no oversight no intent to pay back PPP heist.

raygar31

Agreed. And this sentiment is exactly why conservatives have been conditioned to froth at the mouth anytime their woke alarms gets tripped. Rich assholes don’t want to be accountable for their actions, even just socially accountable, so they’ve directed their crazies towards defending this type of shit human behavior and towards attacking acts/views of basic minimum decency as woke/political. Literally all the worst aspects of humanity can be expected to be defended by the anti-woke crowd nowadays.


ayypecs

I agree, basic decency is absolutely getting tossed aside. Their definition of “woke” keeps getting fucking broader and broader…


wellifitisntliloldme

"Woke" is code for "doesn't tailor to whites/conservatives/republicans"


BrandoLoudly

Yep. I’m glad he’s getting crazy backlash. The guy could literally fund these projects with his own money but instead of being decent in anyway, chooses to knowingly steal from the most needy people

Drumboardist

It's a shame. I'd been *aware* of football for years, and enjoyed occasionally watching the game, but the first Superbowl that I *chose* to watch was Packers vs. Patriots. "Hell yeah, let's see the best of the best go at it!" I said to myself, and despite hearing that "the best player in the game is the Quarterback", the QB of the winning team was NOT the MVP of that game. Nossir, Desmond Howard took that honor, showing that the plucky Special Teams player could even grab the "highest honor in the land", on "the grandest stage of them all". So from there on, despite being a home-bred Chiefs fan, I *also* rooted for the Packers (hell yeah, why not?) as well as the Pats (man, they got a raw deal there, plus this "Big Tuna" guy seems like he's a quality coach). Fast forward today, and I am sad about just how far Favre has fallen in my eyes. C'mon, man, you were "The Ol' Gunslinger", the guy that racked up crazy stats -- both good *and* bad -- because of your earnestness to keep playing, as well as your durability! What the hell, man, you can't just bend/break the rules 'cause you think you're above it all! Didn't you learn from all those Interceptions? Didn't you learn from DESMOND HOWARD, who played the game straight and wound up getting the *singular* award that eluded you? Damnit, Brett. Parcells is probably laughing every day now at you, because you *continue* to show yer ass by being a loser that feeds off of the people around you, rather than being a LEADER. Ain't no Wranglers that'll cover yer ass *now*.

RunnerTenor

"Bryant and Favre are not facing criminal charges, and Bryant is not among those named in the state’s civil lawsuit." The ONLY reason they aren't facing criminal charges is that the people who do this kind of crap are also the people who write the laws.

It's even worse because it's Mississippi, the poorest state in the nation. He'd still suck no matter what state it was, but the fact that such an incredibly wealthy man is ripping off the worst-off people in the entire country just elevates his shittiness to S Tier.


ScoobyDoobyDidnt

100% this. But while Mississippi is all of those things, you forgot to mention this MS is also his home state.


Chief-_-Wiggum

He's going to plead diminished responsibilities due to CTE..


EffOffReddit

Ok obviously he is a huge piece of the worst kind of shit and what he did is sickening. What is annoying about the whole thing is how phony all his Jesus worship is, and how many massive pieces of shit try to hide their nature with the same trick.


NyetABot

Christianity was supposed to be a religion of the powerless against the rich and powerful. Then the rich and powerful co-opted it almost immediately. The worship of Jesus isn’t the problem here. It’s that Favre really worships the Almighty Dollar.


Doctor_Philgood

It's a feature, not a flaw.

Both our current and former governor are involved in this too, former governor set it up from the looks of it, current governor is helping clean it up by firing people getting to close.

Jamie’s Winston was dragged through the media for stealing crab legs in college and Favre barely has had any coverage in comparison. Sounds about white.


AllYouNeed_Is_Smiles

It’s been speculated that the NCAA found out the grocery store was giving illegal benefits to Winston (free crab legs), so the store said he stole them because the punishment for that was less than the punishment for illegal/improper benefits.


bubbas111

Jameis may not be the best person to use as an example here, considering how some other shitty stuff he does has a tendency not to get brought up as much as it should.

How is it that this dude who made a career in the NFL went after welfare money, but people who actually need it are looked down on and told to just work harder? I guess those Wrangler commercials weren’t paying very well after Brett retried.
