NFL legend Brett Favre slams woke sports: I want to watch the game'
Legendary NFL quarterback Brett Favre said he wants athletes and leagues to keep politics out of sporting events.
I think both sides, for the most part, want to see it just remain about the sport, not about politics, Favre said during an interview this week. At least, thats my interpretation. I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch the game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind. I want to watch all the, you know, important parts of the game, not whats going on outside of the game. And I think the general fan feels the same way.
Favre, who played most of his Hall of Fame career for the Green Bay Packers, started his time in the NFL with the Atlanta Falcons, whose city just lost Major League Baseball's All-Star Game after Georgias Republican-controlled government passed a new election security law that critics have likened to the Jim Crow era.
But Favre said he believes sports are better as a unifying force, something that can bring people of all races together.
