Brett Favre took some major heat this past week for his comments on the Derek Chauvin verdict.
“I find it hard to believe – and I’m not defending Derek Chauvin in any way – I find it hard to believe, first of all, that he intentionally meant to kill George Floyd,” Favre said. “That being said, his actions were uncalled for. I don’t care what color the person is on the street. You do not … I don’t know what led to that video that we saw where his knee is on his neck, but the man had thrown in the towel.”
Former star NFL wide receiver Steve Smith was one of many who did not appreciate those comments, so he decided to fire back.
“I have so much respect for the career you had. HOF, awards, etc…. However on this subject, yo Mr. Favre STFU respectfully real talk! Privilege ass!” Smith wrote on social media.
One commenter said, “Who the fuck even says something like that?! If he speaks like that in public we know where he stands in private.”

Another stated, “Sum about that NFC North I swear. First urlacher and now Favre? Smfh.”
“Agreed common sense tells you kneeling on somebody’s neck for that fucking long is pretty fatal,” a third person said.
