NFL Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre is dealing with many court actions.
He stands accused of participating in a scheme to divert millions of dollars in taxpayer money meant for Mississippi’s private families to a state-of-the-art volleyball facility at his alma mater, Southern Mississippi University, where his daughter played the sport.
Favre is also suing football commenters Pat McAfee and Shannon Sharpe for their comments after revelations about the Mississippi scandal came to light. Favre denies all wrongdoing.
But Favre also has the time to comment on the ongoing saga at Fox News, which suddenly fired primetime host Tucker Carlson two weeks ago. Due to contract restraints, Carlson could be off the airwaves through the presidential election of 2024.
That isn’t very pleasant to Carlson’s fans, which includes Favre. The former Green Bay Packers and New York Jets quarterback took to Twitter on Monday to voice his displeasure with Fox News, calling for a boycott until they allow Carlson to return to television.0

“I’m with Tucker. Time to boycott Fox until they come to their senses and let the man speak,” Favre tweeted. The attached video is a monologue from the show of former Fox News host Megyn Kelly, taking conservative TV watchers to task for their continued support of Fox News through the scandal.
Favre disabled replies to the tweet from anyone who doesn’t follow him, but that didn’t stop the masses from responding through quote retweets:
