Thank you so much for sharing this story. This is good old fashioned journalism that keeps democracy and capitalism honest! Ida B. Wells would be proud.
That's a joke 😂😂😂 Let's pretend it's Morant that accepted stolen millions. He'd have been indicted within 30 days. Favre knows he has one of those privilege cards to swipe. That guy isn't going to see one day of jail time and he's going to get away with it
@@angelaw9476 He may very well get away without being held accountable, however his legacy will forever be questioned if not tarnished because of this.
Why hasn't he been arrested and charged??? This is ridiculous any ordinary person would have been sent to jail by now but yet he wants to sue people who say he should be charged
For a rich high profile guy like Favre, who will no doubt have access to high powered representation. The state needs to make sure there case is solid before seeking charges. The reason we have so much information, is that it involved public funds, and the public has a right to that information, but we don't know the details of an investigation. The DA also has to consider if he can even secure a conviction, vs offering a plea deal. But yeah Favre should be in prison, but I doubt he would spend a single day there.
@@euj0 exactly. Everyone is entitled to a “speedy” trial. So when they hopefully charge him they will have all the hard evidence they need to get a conviction or a good plea deal
@emilionavarroperez5566 You fools realize that his BS affected not just blacks in his hometown, right? There is more than just a bunch of poor kin folk in Mississippi. Other races live there too he helped to hurt?
Stealing from the poor when you already have money is just a scumbag move. Even if he was aware or not, he still didn't give back the money and ran with it. Scumbag behavior from a scumbag person.
You said it yourself "even if he was aware or not" is a dead giveaway. Saying that he knowingly did this is a lie. This is unfair what they are doing to this man. Can't stand the dam media
Welcome to AmeriKKKa... LeBron said it best, "We live in two different America's". Where he'd get excoriated for something like this, and someone like Brett Favre would get a pass.
What Favre did is 1000x worse than anything Vick ever did but it hardly gets talked about. Love how Sports Media is just giving Farve a pass instead of grilling him like they do everybody else.

@@THEBLACKMANISGOD82 I’ve been to Mississippi, and aside from the “casual racism“, which was purely a learned trait, the people there are actually very kind. It’s unfortunate how their legislators perpetuate the stereotype while at the same time stealing from their constituents. It makes sense if you always need a scapegoat for your miss dealings.
@@hunterhancock6752 Yes, the interceptions bring him down the list a ways- he might be top ten but not top five. But he's a lock for being one of the top five or ten worst people who have played in the nfl.

Well said. So many people have been exposed in the last several years of being just a s**tty person. Celebrity worship is a mental illness in my opinion.
ESPN you guys are about a year or so late with this story. Anna Wolfe of Mississippi Today, who brought this story to light, has already done all the work for you. Please give the Pulitzer winner some credit for the actual investigative work and reporting.
I am going to choose my words carefully just in case Farve or his lawyers are reading this. I don't want to get sued like Shannon Sharpe and Pat McAfee, Like any other citizen of this country, Farve is entitled to his day in court. And if what he allegedly has done turns out to be true he should go to jail for a long time. But something tells me if he wasn't a rich white good ol boy he would've been charged a long time ago.
The text messages indicated that he knowingly understood that what he was doing was wrong. Some of the people he was conspiring in those text are already in custody.
Exactly and John, of course he knew. All of his text messages were cloak and dagger. My favorite is "how are we going to keep the press from finding out?"
@@jwal1992 I’m talking about his team overall. When it first happened everybody on his side said he did nothing wrong, that’s why he tried to sue Shannon Sharpe bc Shannon was saying he’s dirty af. Not saying people in the comments or in the video, just on his side in general.
I never liked him as a player. He always gave me a bad vibe. It was the same with Jon Gruden. You could sense they were vile and disgusting racists and creeps. None of this stuff coming out against them the past several years surprises me.
Shad, stop ignoring the elephant in the room! Legislators, stop making accessing TANF funds so hard to access!!! With a less than 5% approval rate, y’all know there is more you can do in our state that’s the poorest in the Union.
This story makes my skin crawl. Sure he may not have known where the origin of the funds came from initially, but he had an opportunity to do the right thing when the source of the money came to light and chose not to, which honestly might be worse.
No excuses. Favre has resources and attorneys on standby that other people will never have the privilege of having access to. He did not get his attorneys or accountants to vet the source of the funds because he knew exactly where it was coming from. He just didn't think he would get caught.
Bret Frave was very persistent for the deal to go through, which leads me to believe this man is in tuned with his finances, therefore he knew exactly where the money was coming from.
😞😡😢 These are the emotions I have. Brett is one of my favorite quarterbacks. Being involved knowingly or unknowingly with stealing from less fortunate children and families is sad. This will tarnish his overall legacy.
@@kinggordon8762 he got a building funded with funds that wasn't for rich kids having even more. I wonder if you have these same opinions for the BLM women. Lol, I know.
@@kinggordon8762 he took welfare money and misused funds. He wasn’t suppose to have the money in the first place. You’re either being disingenuous or you don’t know what you’re talking about
@@kinggordon8762 Just him being involved with this scam knowingly or unknowingly is sad and it will stain his overall legacy. I loved Brett Farve play on the field always pushed for him.
@@gmanwop9744 I definitely don’t support BLM, in my opinion it’s a scam. I don’t see any difference being attempted to be made with the funds that have been donated.
It’s just so shameful to take from the poor when you already have $$$! However, with that being said, I hope many of these athletes, sports teams, ceos of big companies and celebrities donate to that boys and girls club to get the things they need for those kids and their future after seeing this.
FYI, while this is going on, the state of North Carolina forced a 80 year old retired city laborer to repay some $250k the was supposedly overpaid in pension benefits, forcing him to go back to work and then garnished his wages. That fella died, two years later into the ordeal, and the state swooped in to seize the 10k he was eligible to receive as funeral benefits.
Most people who stole this amount of money would be charged and would serve very long prison sentences- he is just an evil person, through and through, he has shown this again and again, with how he treats women and now this. He has tons of money and could he used his money for these purposes easily- his net worth is estimated at $100 million.
Lifelong Packer fan. Favre was always a great player, as well as a tacky, classless, pig & selfish person. Turns out that was giving him too much credit. He’s a truly horrible human being coupled with all those MS politicians. Sad but not surprising.
I used to be a fan of Farve. But after this scandal, he has completely lost my respect! What a freaking scumbag! I hope he gets some form of punishment for this!
People need to understand that Republican's do this in red states constantly! The water system in Jackson Mississippi has been neglected for centuries!
Well Pat McAfee who just signed a deal with ESPN is the other guy who favre is trying to sue. Not surprised at all that ESPN is airing this out since then. This will be interesting now that McAfee has a big wig behind him.
The media says almost nothing about this. Colin Kaepernick is viewed as unpatriotic fkr using his rights to protest and Farve literally steals millions from his on state. Nothing but hypocrisy
It would be nice if Southern Mississippi Universities would sponsor this boys and girls club. Bring some of their resources to help provide for the athlete needs of this boys and girls club. The money that was used to build a ball court was taken from these kids. Not that it’s the University’s fault but this is a great opportunity for the University to connect to the community. Take that negative and turn it into a positive!
State of Mississippi will not provide funds for the city of Jackson Mississippi to have clean drinking water. There is no way Mississippi will provide funds for a Flag Football Field.
