Brett Favre says Colin Kaepernick deserves “much praise” for taking a stand on something he Vince Coleman Jersey believes in, and compared his actions to former NFL player Pat Tillman.In an interview with TMZ Sports, Favre was asked if Kaepernick reminded him of someone like Jackie Robinson or Muhammad Ali. Instead of going with those names, Favre felt Tillman was a better comparison. Tillmanturned down a $3.6 million contract offer from the Cardinalsto enlist in theU.S. Army.Favre says it’s similar because both players sacrificed their playing careers for a bigger cause.”It’s not easy for a guy his age black or white, Hispanic, whatever to stop something that you’ve always dreamed of doing, and Yadier Molina Jersey put it on hold, maybe forever, for something that you believe in,” Favre said. “I can only think of right off the top of my head, Pat Tillman is another guy who did something similar. And, we regard him as a hero. So, I’d a sume that hero status will be stamped with Kaepernick as well.”MORE:Kaepernick’s name has been brought back up in recent weeks as the NFL takes a different stance onsocial injustice. The Carlos Martinez Jersey league released a statement through commi sioner Roger Goodell after several players includingPatrick Mahomes, Odell Beckham Jr., Michael Thomas,Ezekiel Elliott and DeAndre Hopkins made a video calling on people to listen to the players.In response, Goodell released a video saying the league was “wrong for not listening Steve Carlton Jersey to NFL players earlier.”We, the NFL, condemn racism and the systematic oppre sion of Black People. We, the NFL, admit we were wrong for not listening to NFL players earlier and encourage all to speak out and peacefully protest. We, the NFL, believe Black Lives Matter. NFL (@NFL) While talk about Kaepernick rejoining the NFL has heightened, there’s been no clear indication that a team is willing to sign him. Chargers coach Anthony Lynn came the closest by saying Kaepernick would be on their emergency workout list, but made it clear he Andrew Miller Jersey ‘s “very confident and happy with the three quarterbacks” already on the roster.
