Copper Fit Removes Brett Favre From Website Amid Welfare Scandal

Following the release text messages from Brett Favre that appear to show he received state welfare funding from former Mississippi governor Phil Bryant to build a new volleyball facility at the University of Southern Mississippi, some of the brands the former NFL quarterback worked with dropped him.

Companies such as Sirius XM and ESPN Milwaukee distanced themselves Favre. However, one brand continued to show advertisements using Favre: Copper Fit.

But as of Wednesday, Copper Fit has removed photos and references to Favre from its website, per Front Office Sports. The quarterback previously was featured on an individual page on the website.
