Brett Favre is a star, an icon, a legend, a role model, father, husband and like everyone is also a human being which seems to have been not allowed now in light of the sexting incident. Nothing has changed my view of Brett Favre including the sexting. He shines no less in light of this though I would have preferred to have never known about the matter. His sending the explicit messages via text is an invasion of privacy just like eaves dropping on any phone call. Publicizing the recorded messages whether they were brought forward by any of the three women themselves or a Brett Favre hating reporter fan of the New York Jets appears more an effort to smear, disrupt, profit than the value of this story. Prosecution of those reporting the matter seems more appropriate as they have invaded Brett Favre' privacy. Though he did knowingly send the messages knowing they would be in a recorded format left to the discretion of the so called victims the messages are a private conversation. A conversation of flirting, attempting to play around, flirt, hit on some girls though in bad taste he is doing what he's come to learn over time works. The past women whom have reciprocated sextings to Favre are no less responsible than the many women that cater to basketball, hockey, baseball, astronauts, etc searching to quench their adventures, fantasies, trophy cases. Like the prostitute is prosecuted for sexually servicing clients, those clients are also prosecuted for monetarily transacting with a sexual service.
Being a monetary transaction that doesn't pay taxes to the government, leaves some spouses powerless when withholding sex as a tool from their partner or promotes sexually transmitted diseases which can cause great suffering and or death to the persons involved are all great examples that discourage this behavior. Though we all know the risk involved it still happens no matter the risk because people are both irresponsible and unhappy and though the greater average of people do not participate for a variety of reasons including those above people, just as God found in the garden of eden when given the opportunity to act on their free will will do exactly that by acting out their free will when they are given the opportunity. Be it curiosity, unhappiness, enticement, etc. those persons involved set in motion events affecting many others when a disease or children are involved. The mind of the human species is the worst enemy and this sort of transparency by the media only serves to reaffirm that some will act when given an opportunity and nothing has changed or evolved since the first transgression was made. In a world of imperfection the global race seems to be more about who is the most perfect. That said, what Favre did is nothing any one else hasn't done when hitting on a girl or guy in whatever format they choose. Though his choice was badly mistaken, being married, in a text, the three women and while in New Jersey, (Favre's former team and home), this kind of transparency may expose what is not known or already known for the readers of the STAR, Enquirer, People magazine but it only serves for those with sin to cast stones on those with sin and doesn't change the cause, course or bring anyone any closer to purity or God. Turn the other cheek and let's get this party started. Just sayin...
just because everyone does it doesn't make it right.
1. Who cares?
2. Ok so other people do it all time too? It just makes him an a**hole like everyother guy who can't keep it in his pants. What's new?
3. Who cares?
4. This giant rant over something so stupid really did not make much sense. I still can't figure out how it went from sexting to withholding sex as a tool to prostitutes to diseases to god.
5. Who cares?
6. He will probably justify it by being a "sex addict" like everyone else ;)
A mindless rant about the media blowing things out of proportion..... What's new?
