CTE is real and Brett is proof it exists.

Quote:Brett Favre says Colin Kaepernick's willingness to leave his NFL career to fight for social justice reminds him of Pat Tillman's ultimate sacrifice ... and now, he's telling TMZ Sports he thinks both will be remembered as heroes.

The Hall of Fame QB spoke with us about Colin this week ... and told us straight-up he believes Kaepernick will go down as a legend for what he's done to combat systemic racism.

"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 put it on hold, maybe forever, for something that you believe in," Favre said.

Brett told us he believes it's all very similar to what Tillman did when he left the NFL to fight for his country in the Army in the aftermath of 9/11.

"I can only think of right off the top of my head, Pat Tillman is another guy that did something similar," Favre said. "And, we regard him as a hero. So, I'd assume that hero status will be stamped with Kaepernick as well."

It's lofty praise from the former Green Bay Packers superstar ... but Favre clearly believes Kaep gave up a legitimate NFL career to make his message heard.

Brett tells us even despite a 3-year-plus layoff, he thinks Colin can STILL be an effective QB in the NFL today.

"I thought he was a dynamic player when he was playing in his prime," Favre said. "He's still young and hasn't been hit in several years, so there's no reason to think that he's lost that much of a step."

For Colin's part, we're told he's training like a maniac to get back in the league ... and at least one team -- the L.A. Chargers -- has said it'll consider giving him a tryout this season.

Stupid and disgusting on so many levels--that's like comparing the Antifa revolutionary thugs to the patriots in the American Revolutionary war!

I think Favre may have had one to many concussions if he believes that. Tillman is a true American hero, COLON Kaepernick is a glory seeking narcissist.

Kaepernick was 3-16 in his last 19 games as a quarterback. That is not the record of a "dynamic player."

His ability to run and throw made him a dynamic player for a while. But defenses figured out that if you could contain his run, he couldn't throw well enough to beat you.

Sure

as a southern miss lifer, I simply want to vomit down his and Cookie's throats at this point...

there's underlying bs you guys are unaware of, nor will I share....

LOL! I think you hit it on the head!

Tillman left in his career's prime. Kapernick was already washed up.

I have absolutely no problem with Colin putting himself out there for this cause. I just despise (and alway will) his manner of protest. He single handedly has done more to destroy the game of football and caused more division in America than anyone with this. It was unnecessary and showed a lack respect for his country and the game that has given him so much.

The only thing these two dudes had in common is they both played in the NFL.

Favre like many washed up celebrities will say anything to get 5 more minutes in the spotlight. I guess Wrangler stopped calling him to do commercials.

I didn’t know you were a Southern Miss fan!

I hated playing u guys back in the day. Bowers and Fedora were good coaches. I saw some great player. Damion Fletcher, Austin Davis, and Reggie Collier ( when he was an Orlando Renegade) I was watching the games when that receiver broke his leg on that cart that was too close to the field. I wish Southern Miss was in the American with UCF.

I loathe Kape. May the fleas of a thousand camels descend upon his crotch...

Disappointed in Brett. Will tell him so if and when I see him again.
I think a lot of people really don’t know what the hell is going on. They just aren’t paying attention or they are paying attention to the wrong people. This is disgusting to the core though.

He jumped the shark long ago

Fear of losing endorsements is likely what prompted this. Either that or CTE's are setting in. But, I think it's the former.

I think the bigger story is who in the world is starting this nonsense of mentioning Kap and the HOF. That’s absurd, if that takes place then shut down the NFL, it’s not real anymore.

And it's not as if he just turned his back on football in pursuit of a nobler calling as Tillman did. Screw him and screw one of my former all time favorite QB's. How sad.

Exaggly. Horrible comparison. Tillman walked away from his livelihood to fight for his country. Kaepernick went kicking and screaming and sued the NFL.
