Can we please hold Brett Favre accountable? Further, can we hold Mississippi and other such states accountable, please?

[Falconlibrary]

Isn't this the same state that doesn't have drinkable water for the citizens of the state capitol (Jackson)?
Mississippi goddamn.

[Earthling]

Just what we always thought of Mississippi! How could that state stay so poor? Now we understand.

[thunders]

Favre should be locked up for what he did.

[donnerschlag]

Please don’t let this distract you from the fact that Jackson MS is in severe need of drinkable water. I wish I could do more to help our community there.

[stoptheviolence]

Nobody on espn will talk about this 😂😂😂

[angelgarcia]

His text messages are so blatant - so incriminating - it's absolutely revolting. And while the focus in the media seems to be more about him - don't forget - the governor was involved. Its sickening.

[jimmydesanta]

the NFL should remove Brett Favre from the Pro Football Hall of Fame...

[stellercorpse]

Back in the 2010s everybody was like "oh favre is such a good guy" lol

[FatherDyer]

Put them in a legitimate federal prison.

[dknight]

It wasnt just Brett are other famous sports figures involved too!

[sharadshukla]

HELLO👋, I'M TOTALLY NEW TO CRYPRO AND FOREX TRADING AND I HAVE BEEN MAKING HUGE LOSES TRADING ON MY OWN😥 BUT RECENTLY I SEE A LOT OF PEOPLE EARNING FROM IT. CAN SOMEONE PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW STRATEGY OR AT LEAST TELL ME WHAT I'M DOING WRONG?

[jeremyfryar]

So come to find out it’s actually rich people and politicians abusing welfare money not the poor people who have been blamed for abusing it for decades. Go figure.

[nycatlady]

No one should raise an athlete or entertainer or politician or anyone to hero status. Kids idolized this guy for years. This kind of hero worship often ends with people feeling invincible and untouchable which leads to corruption.

[cromanxx]

It's obvious they felt very comfortable committing this crime.

[darrickmalloy]

This aint the first year they did this bs. The federal government should let the mayor of Jackson handle the states money after the state pays back all of that money.

[Getmoney]

Capital city doesn’t have running water but let’s build a damn volleyball arena 🤮🤮🤮🤮

[kenelliott]

Out Rageous!!! Out Freaking Rageous!!! 😞😞😞

[stellercorpse]

[stephaniemiller]

He is only doing what the rest of them are doing.trust me!
