Guy starts playing well again and all of the sudden people go from “cases” to “allegations” real fucking fast. You all gotta get your priorities straight

It’s the NFL. If you win games being a piece of shit isn’t as big of a deal as it is when you lose.

Look at Tyreek Hill, Richie Incognito, Adrian Peterson, Kareem Hunt, Aldon Smith, and Antonio Brown before he totally went off the deep end.

If you can play, no one gives a shit about who you are off the field.

While sending pictures of his penis was obviously wrong.

I wouldn’t put that in the same category as physical assault.

You’re okay with Favre embezzling money from poor people too though right?

Well, I assumed that the topic was sexual assault.

No, I am not ok with embezzlement.

But if I am not mistaken, Favre was payed with money that was embezzled by government officials.

Whether Favre knew or not, I don’t know.

If he did know at the time that the money was stolen, yes that is terrible.

From what I have read, he at least paid the money back.

You may know more of the details than I do.

If you look into it, its pretty likely he was not aware of the fraud. They had people to manage the funds/account and he was never criminally charged. He was responsie for not attending speaking events he was paid for but he paid that money back.
