NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre is being sued by the State of Mississippi. The legendary QB and others misspent millions of dollars allocated for welfare, says the complaint. Favre, who has a 20-year-old NFL career, has denied any wrongdoing in the matter. However, new text messages reveal former Mississippi Governor Phil Bryant illegally supported Favre. The help was to build a volleyball facility using the money intended to help low-income families.

Favre is a three-time winner of the league’s Most Valuable Player award. The allegation of the welfare scandal is worth $5 million. The NFL world reacted to the Hall of Famer’s news with disappointment.  

Brett Favre invites criticism for wrong behavior

NFL experts Chris Broussard and Rob Parker demanded a stricter punishment for the former Packers QB. American sports anchor Parker came down heavily on the NFL star. “Mississippi is the poorest state in the United States. People need help down there. Are you kidding? Seriously, I know that it is his home state. But you are taking it from the people who need the most. That’s low,” he said. 

Broussard slammed the former champion into playing with the livelihood of people in need. “When your crime is bad all the way around, right, but when you are wealthy, rich, he made some $140 million in his career, and you still commit crimes, not that it’s okay for a poor person, but you are doing this strictly out of greed. Why in the world would Brett Favre take money from the poorest people in poorest? They should get stricter punishment,” he added. 

What is next for Favre?

An August 2017 text message by Favre points light to his role in the scam. He expressed concern that the media would learn the source and amount of money proposed to be sent to him. The HOF-er’s attempt to take away the money intended for the alleviation of poverty is a serious offense.
