Brett Favre's bleating about politics in sports is rank with privilege, ignorance and hypocrisy
Comments Favre made during a recent podcast hit the news cycle Thursday, and they're as lazy and easily dismantled as can be.

Brett Favre expressed an opinion and because it differs with the author in terms of the current social justice/equity rhetoric the media is feeding. She lashes out. How dare Favre disagree that the country is systemically racist. How dare Favre vote for Donald Trump. How dare Favre not accept the media's constant virtue signaling? How dare Favre say we should stand for the anthem?
It is the fact that the author won't listen to a counter POV and immediately play the racist/ignorant card that makes the social justice warriors so annoying and divisive to this country. It is OK to have a difference of opinion. It is OK to believe that the country is NOT systemically racist. After all what legal rights does a black American citizen have that a white American citizen does not?
The majority of our media is a divisive cesspool. I cannot even read a sports page without someone virtue signaling like a complete asshole. And my kids have to grow up in this environment.
GRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
