The 2024 Presidential race is shaping up like a prime-time NFL showdown, and it’s got the whole football world picking sides. Seriously, from players to WAGs, everyone’s taking a stand. Even the legends aren’t sitting this one out. That’s pretty common. But wait. Just when you thought the comparisons couldn’t get any wilder, a Hall of Famer went and likened the election to the Super Bowl. When was the last time you saw that play called?
Enter Packers legend Brett Favre, who jumped into the conversation on X, hinting at the spectacle to come. “Four days away from the Super Bowl, I mean election. What’s the headline going to be Wednesday morning?” he teased. Because really, this isn’t just politics; it’s game day.
Four days away from the Super Bowl, I mean election.

Favre’s support for Trump has been a headline in itself. He even took the mic at a rally in Green Bay (yup, his NFL home), hyping up the crowd with a line that Packers fans know all too well: “It’s an honor to be back here where it all started.”
You know what he was doing. For Green Bay, Brett is like Tom Brady is to New England. And when such a legend is out there campaigning, you don’t just watch—you listen.
Favre fired back at President Biden over comments that sparked controversy after comedian Tony Hinchcliffe made an offensive remark at a Trump rally. Biden quickly clarified that he was only addressing Hinchcliffe’s comments, but Favre wasn’t buying it.
“How dare he say that?” Favre questioned, saying the crowd he saw was full of “police officers, teachers, nurses, grandparents.” In his words, it’s these folks who “make this country great.”

What’s your perspective on:
Brett Favre sees Trump as the Packers' quarterback—are you ready for this political Super Bowl?
Have an interesting take?
You see, Favre’s speech didn’t hold back on the football x politics comparisons. For him, this election seems as personal as any fourth-quarter comeback attempt he had ever made in his pro football career. So, when Favre compared Trump and his organization to his former team, you instantly knew it meant a lot to him.
Brett Favre sees the Packers when he is campaigning for Donald Trump
When Brett Favre hit the crowd with “Are there any Packers fans?” at the Trump rally, it was a trip down memory lane for many Go Green Go fans present in the crowd. As if Favre took the stage like he was back under the Lambeau lights. And from there, he didn’t hold back, drawing bold comparisons between Trump’s leadership and his former Packers team.

Favre’s rally cry? Trump’s a “winner” just like the Green Bay Packers. “Much like the Packers organization, Donald Trump and his organization is a winner,” he said. And that’s their legend talking about Ws. You ask the Packers Nation who Favre is. And they’ll take you down a journey. The man quarterbacked the Packers for 16 seasons and brought them a Super Bowl victory in 1997. I mean, if he doesn’t know about winning, then who does?
Now, Favre believes Trump’s presidency was a “win” for the States. So, that’s why the NFL legend is ready to go all-in behind him, this time against Kamala Harris. And talking about Harris, well, he did not let her be. Favre literally threw a Hail Mary over her as he went on to say, “It would be insane to give Kamala four more years.” For him, it’s time to bench the Democrats and get Trump on the gridiron as the star quarterback.
Have something to say?
