1. Brett Favre
Brett Favre is not the first public figure to be deemed virtuous for no other reason than his popularity. He became a quarterback for the Green Bay Packers in 1992, once-franchise has created only playoffs twice since their last Super Bowl win of the 1967 season.
A good-natured country boy who led the franchise’s most deeply rooted NFL roots back to fame. The Packers have missed the knockout stages just eight times in the thirty years since they traded their first-round picks to the Atlanta Falcons in exchange for Favre. His gun style on the field is justified by childlike enthusiasm as the smallest local market midfielder in the league has become one of the biggest stars in the league.
Good, Now the merry green giant is caught in a federal scandal. In all seriousness, he was involved in a major welfare fraud scandal in Mississippi. Not some sort of “Welfare Queen” scandal, but officials who have access to how this money is distributed. Favre allegedly used his gun ways to try to get money from Mississippi to fund the sports facilities at his alma mater – South Mississippi.
Welfare money, prison labor, whatever it was taken, Favre reportedly wanted it all used to significantly improve Southern Mississippi athletic facilities. And people, there’s a paper trail. Favre’s documents all ask for help from former Mississippi Director of Human Services John Davis, former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant, and Nancy New, the head of a nonprofit organization that has pleaded guilty to lying to authorities. states – and they transferred. Pretty much messages that could reasonably lead a person to believe that Favre saw a more than $70 million plan in the works, so why didn’t one of the state’s most famous residents take a piece of the pie? ?
Favre denied that he knew where the money came from, and both he and Bryant denied any wrongdoing. However, Davis pleaded guilty to federal and state charges of improper use of welfare money. Favre sent several texts discussing the amount Davis approved. Some recently released ones shows that even Southern Mississippi was concerned about how Favre had secured the financing to build a new volleyball stadium.
It seems Favre, along with a few others, doesn’t care that Mississippi is the poorest state in America, and instead they want the money to help those who need it, for frivolous projects. To cash in on the money he’d earned his entire life by throwing soccer balls in a Packer uniform and Wrangler jeans, the fact that he crouched as low as a middle-aged man would erase any great myths. great rest around him.
