Brett Favre Criticizes ‘Turmoil’ Created by Kneeling Athletes

Hall-of-Fame quarterback Brett Favre said he believes athletes who kneel during the national anthem have "created more turmoil than good."

Favre's comments came during an interview with The Daily Wire's Andrew Klavan. The former Packers' quarterback lamented the inclusion of political speech during sporting events and said he doesn't want to watch "what's going on outside of the game."

"I know when I turn on a game, I want to watch a game. I want to watch players play and teams win, lose, come from behind," Favre told Klavan, per USA Today Sports.
