NFL Hall of Famer Brett Favre Believes Colin Kaepernick Will Be Hailed a Hero Like Pat Tillman

@Kaepernick7 is already a hero. https://t.co/2zx7RmtzcP

I disagree. As a Vet, Tillman died for his country, Kaepernick took a knee. The idea of calling someone a hero, when he didn't serve, is repulsive to the men and women who did serve, and ultimately paid for it in blood. Remember that distinction and think before you talk. https://t.co/97f9Ul9p9R

So Brett Favre is standing up for what’s right and now as a Bears fan I am suddenly cheering him on for the first time in my life. https://t.co/2yQkvZnCNK

@pattillmanfnd was KILLED in action serving our Country......@Kaepernick7 was fired by the @49ers & was never hired again....How does @BrettFavre see the comparison?....This is a BAD take "Hillbilly" https://t.co/zTShfBEVkO

You won’t agree... people with a real understanding of football and an unbiased view completely get it though https://t.co/l0OgDAi1gP

Pat Tillman is a hero.

Colin Kaepernick is a hero.

This isn’t a debate.

Pat Tillman’s family has already asked conservatives to quit using his name in the fashion they are doing so. They also added that he would not have agreed with it. Quit disrespecting him and his family.

This was a comparison of 2 men that made enormous personal sacrifices for a cause much bigger than themselves. If this comparison doesn't resonate with you, please keep your biases and ignorance to yourself.

Pat Tillman died by "friendly fire." He died needlessly, but is still regarded as a hero for the reason he enlisted, he didn't have to do that.

Colin Kaepernick didn't give up his life, but he did give up his life in football, his career, for a cause he believes in.

Kaepernick the so called human rights spokesman showed up to a press conference wearing a FIdel Castro t shirt. He is no hero

Wow Brett! One died for his country protecting all Americans freedoms regardless if some of them can’t get off their asses and provide for their families and the other knelt when he was regulated to backup because people want a reason to not comply with police and attention.

This is disgusting, if accurate. Pat Tillman died for his country. Kapernick got millions from Nike for his “sacrifice” and is living his life. Poor comparison.

Tillman got shot by friendly fire, and they tried to cover it up. Educate yourself

Beyond stupid comparison. They’re not even comparable and Brett should know better. He was never the smartest guy though.

Brett must be popping those pills again because no sane person would make such an asinine statement
