Brett Favre compares Colin Kaepernick to Pat Tillman: 'That hero status will be stamped'

**mulva** · 06-21-2020, 04:34 PM

lmao..how awful is this.

now every sports writer or writer in general gets great brownie points from the mob pushing the narrative he should be signed, he is owed something, or he should be immortalized..brett favre almost went as far saying he belongs in the HOF.

can't really blame him. how much would he get punished if he said otherwise...he laid that shit on thick though...

really big insult to pat tillman who died in combat

lets go to yahoo comments for the real story of the american people. 3000 comments. how many do you think defends favre here and and react favorably to kap

my fav comment in the first 100-200

"Brett must be looking for a Nike endorsement"

"Favre must have made his moonshine till with iron instead of copper"

isn't in awful you have to be told and preached this in the news.

being black, supporting blm and antifa are untouchable groups right now, they can say or do anything racist and be violent and face little repercussions.

Unless you have served in the military, have a close family member, or close friend serving, you have no idea the sacrifices and hard work our serviceman have committed so we all can be free. For very little pay I might add. No comparison between Kapernick and Corporal Pat Tillman, who's Unit was 2nd Ranger Battalion, 75th Ranger Regiment.

Krapernick had 2 great seasons in his entire career. He then ended those 2 seasons by being the only player in football history to single handily lose the Super Bowl and NFC title game in back to back seasons. That's Hall of Fame worthy?

What exactly does Kaepernick stand for? With Tillman it was clear, he was willing to risk his life to protect America. Also Kaepernick chose to be out of the league when he did not accept offers given, then turned around criticizing the league - Tillman never criticized those who did not choose to follow in his path.

What Pat Tillman did and what Colin Kaepernick did are two different things. Pat Tillman turned down an NFL contract to serve his country and fight in Afghanistan and that is a heroic deed. Kaepernick opted out of his contract, refused to take a pay-cut of what was offered to him and left the NFL on his own accord. Colin Kaepernick was a bit of a one-trick pony, once the NFL figured out what he could do and what he was, he could never adjust. Colin got the Niners to a Super Bowl once, people are making him way bigger than what he is and his coach got fired so there went his ticket. I appreciate Kaepernick for standing up for what he believes in, he's a great and admirable person for doing so. But I don't look at him at the same vein of Pat Tillman, Pat had to face crazy extremists, vigilantes, and terrorists who all wanted him dead. Ask Colin to endure that every day and see how he likes it. Colin Kaepernick saw injustice in this country and chose to protest police brutality, he never physically fought in a war. I do believe that he will play again in the NFL, but again he'll have to take what's offered. Colin made his own bed and has to sleep in it. That's what my elders say, and that's what I stick to.

So True. Kneeling during the national anthem and refusing NFL job offers because you are not being offered starting roles, and becoming a martyr for a misguided racist movement, directly correlates with a man who willingly left his job as a multi-millionaire NFL player to fight for his country during 9/11 and tragically lost his life... I never knew Brett Favre was so "liberal" in his logic. Certainly glad I'm not a packer's fan because I have lost pretty much every ounce of respect I had for this guy's abilities. Stay out the spotlight Favre, all those concussions are finally starting to add up it seems.

Don’t get me wrong he Made a stand but it didn’t go the way he thought and now that all this wind storm is behind him he’s all smiles
Pat Tillman is dead
So you answer who sacrificed more
And gave it all for what they believed
If it wasn’t for the flag and what it has taken to keep other flags from being hung over our country
No one would have the privilege to play football
So treat the 2 situations for what they are
1! The ultimate sacrifice
The other is a stand against injustice and hopefully those things in time will come to pass

Don't even go there. Tillman voluntarily gave up his high paying pro-football career and served his country with honor. He would not have disrespected the country's flag. How much service in the armed forces did Farve or Kaepernick have --ZERO! Both are over the hill overpaid athletes. I served 23 years, multiple tours in Vietnam and don't think either of these individuals deserve any further discussion.

It's a perfect comparison. Neither would be remembered all that well were it not for the things they did off the field. Kaepernick would be a one trick pony that had a good year or two. Kind of like Ronnie Brown and the Dolphins "wildcat" offense. Effective until it was figured out, then useless. Tillman was a decent, not great, safety for Arizona. Who remembers safeties at all, let alone from one of the least marketable franchises in the NFL? He would be completely forgotten except for some people still opening trading cards from the early 2000s looking for Tom Bradys.

Kap a hero???? Did he fight for his country? Did he donate all of his salary and time to the communities he claimed were suffering this self perceived social injustice? Kap did NONE of that. He's a typical Libtard social justice warrior who wants attention. He's no hero.

I don't think anyone has ever confused Farve for being a rocket scientist! To compare Kap (regardless of what you think of his situation) to Tillman is simply not smart to put it nicely. One lost his career (a sacrifice no doubt), the other gave up his life (the ULTIMATE sacrifice!). There is no comparison and not much else to add here!

Favre is way out of line here. He has lost ALL my respect. I'm a retired military guy, and I can say there's no comparison between Tillman and Kaepernick. Till risked and ultimately, sacrificed his LIFE. Kaepernick got benched, opted out of a contract, refused to sign with other teams as a backup, then kept popping off at the mouth because he didn't get signed to a record-breaking contract. What has Kaepernick sacrificed? NOTHING. Kaepernick is a pissant nuisance, like something stuck to the bottom of my shoe.

Lots of difference between the 2. 1st Pat Tillman was far from rich. He played 4 years in the NFL as a 7th round pick. Prior to enlisting, he turned down a 3 year contract for around 3.6 million. Football salaries have increased since then and Kaepernick made far more. He is financially set for life whereas Tillman wasn't. If you assume both situations knowingly resulted in the end of NFL careers to do what is right, the long term financial stability of Tillman was a significantly greater sacrifice. Tillman made very little money in the Army, whereas Kaepernick continued to receive endorsement money from Nike.

Enough with this fake social injustice, we all have protective rights in America hire a lawyer if you were done wrong. Stop committing crimes & stop resisting. This is not a police issue but a criminal issue.

If Kaepernick should be in the Hall for his off the field activities then there are many such as Lawrence Taylor that should be removed do to off field actions.

Muhammad Ali sat out three and a half years during his prime for something he believed in, as Kaepernick has done. The country eventually came around to Ali's way of thinking, as we are now doing with Kaepernick.

Brett Favre has lost all respect from me. Tillman actually sacrificed for his country. Krappernick has sacrificed nothing. What a sorry excuse for this congo he has made.

Brett has lost his mind when he compares Kip to Tillman Kip has done nothing to help his fellow man except has a big mouth and no brains where Tillman gave up a career to fight for his country. Pat did not give up a contract because of money nor was he a subpar player when he was playing where as Kip on the other hand quick because he was a sub par QB and the Forty Niners were going to put him in the 2nd string so Brett go back into your shell you do not have to degrade yourself to BLM.

I have supported Kaepernick taking a knee for a cause he believed in. It took guts to do that. However, I would never put him on the same level as Tillman who walked away from riches to give his life for his country. Tillman made the ultimate sacrifice.

Tillman walked away from a fortune to serve his country. Kapernick decides that the time to "protest" is the few moments when one is asked to stand for their country. I support protest when one feels aggrieved, that is part of the core values of this great nation. But instead of kneeling at half-time, at post-game, when taking the field, when scoring a Touch Down, he chooses to kneel at the few moments that are dedicated to the country that made it possible for him to earn his fortune. Forgive me, but shunning your own country doesn't fit my definition of hero

Tillman put his country above his own life, family and career! Kaep just wanted attention bc he got benched and was too uneducated to not wear a Castro shirt while fighting oppression. It’s not even a little bit similar! Tillman died! Kaep pouted.

So surprised Football Legend Brett Favre comparing Colin Krapernick to Pat Tillman. I realize everyone has a opinion, and so do I. To me there is no comparison, Pat Tillman left a career playing in the NFL to join the military serving his county. Where as Krapernick was removed from the starting QB position the very game he dropped to the knee during the National Athem.
To me I\he is gutless just using this to promote his own agenda. I came back watching the NFL last season after refusing to watch the disgrace of the the grown men that protest. As far as Roger bow to the pressure Goodell it is my hope that many will not tune into these millionaires that play the game of football. Being a Vietnam Veteran making I think around 250.00 a month coparied to the salaries these guys make and the attitude they have is very displeasing to me. I grew up watching one of the greatest running back Jim Brown would have no part in taking a knee. I realize some will disagree with my statement and that okay. God Bless the USA it braved men and women that serve our country. And to the ones that gave the ultimate sacrifice for our country giving these that believe they can disrespect our Law Enforcement, our military and the families who have lost love ones.

Brett Fabre, please don’t compare, Pat Tillman fought for our country so we can have freedom , which we do because of our military that fights for our country! So that these people can make millions of dollars in a free country, so kneeling for the flag is wrong! DOn5 compare him to Pat Tillman! All these rioters should go into the military and see what it’s like, then they will appreciate America alittle bit more! They should see how people in n. Korea live, India, China, Africa. they should go live there for a year and then they’ll realize what they had here!
