Brett Favre Getting Roasted For Horribly Out-Of-Touch Take On Deshaun Watson

Brett Favre is at it again with another extremely stupid take.

The former NFL quarterback has remained relevant in his post-playing career. Favre has made it clear that he’s a Trump guy, as well as speaking out against players kneeling for the national anthem. The 51-year-old was asked on how he felt about Texans quarterback Deshaun Watson demanding a trade, and his answer didn’t disappoint.

“I’m kind of old school,” Favre said. “You get paid a ton of money to do a certain job and just do it and let the chips fall where they may. I think we make too much money to voice an opinion, but I’m not saying he’s wrong. I think it’s a different day and time, and it’ll be interesting to see how the organization handles it.”

"I think we make too much money to voice an opinion, but I'm not saying he's wrong. Again, I think it's a different day and time…"

I’m with Stephen A. here. It’s a different time than when Favre played. Players are allowed to stand up for what they believe in, and in this case, Deshaun Watson is absolutely right. The Texans have built a shitty team around him, and have disrespected his wishes time and time again. Just because you sign a contract doesn’t mean you lose your voice altogether.

Contracts get broken everyday. In fact, didn’t Favre manufacture a trade to the Jets when he was still on the Packers in 2008? The guy is a hypocrite, and I’m sick of hearing his opinions all the time.
