Brett Favre, a Green Bay Packers icon, has sparked a discussion about the recent Presidential Medal of Freedom awards. The White House announced that soccer star Lionel Messi and others, including Hillary Clinton and Magic Johnson, would receive the medal. However, Favre raised an eyebrow at this decision, expressing his speechlessness on a social media post. Many experts believe the medal should go to a US citizen who has significantly contributed to their field and impacted the country's prosperity or security. Elon Musk also criticized the selection, calling it a "travesty. "

Favre's fans agreed, suggesting deserving candidates like Michael J. Fox and Denzel Washington. Some even proposed a new medal for truly deserving winners. Previously, athletes like Michael Jordan and Tiger Woods had received this honor. It's uncertain how these selections will shape the medal's future.

Besides the awards, Favre has concerns about the NFL. The league is considering significant changes, such as playing 16 international games and extending the season to 19 games. Favre worries that a 19-game season might make it easier for newer players to break records set by legends. For instance, if the current season had one more game, Saquon Barkley could have easily broken Eric Dickerson's rushing record.

Favre's perspective, as a legend himself, is that no one wants to devalue the highest level of work, whether in sports or other fields.
