Favre is the last athlete to have a round with Trump, a group that includes golfers Rory McIlroy, Brooks Koepka, Annika Sorenstam, John Daly, Gary Player, and Lexi Thompson, as well as names like Tom Brady and members of the Washington Nationals. .
Brett Favre’s policy has varied over the years.
The Packers have shown their support for the Trump Republican Party in recent years, backing former Senator Thad Cochran and appearing in an ad for incumbent Cindy Hyde Smith. Favre has also donated to Democratic candidates in the past.
Favre has also been found in hot water a few times in recent years. His receipt of $ 1.1 million in Mississippi welfare funds for appearances he never made sparked a protest, and he also had some explanations to do after being tricked by white supremacists into making an anti-Semitic video on Cameo.
However, Trump and Favre have a notable political disagreement in the world of sports, as Favre praised Colin Kaepernick to the point of saying that the former San Francisco 49ers quarterback will be remembered as a hero in the line of Pat Tillman . Trump has harshly criticized Kaepernick’s racial justice protests in the past, although he recently supported a return to the NFL “if he deserves it” as a player.
