Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre is one of the most polarizing players ever played in the NFL. He is one of the greatest quarterbacks who ever played in the sport.
However, he announced on Tuesday in Washington D.C. that he was recently diagnosed with Parkinson’s. Many fans wished him well after it was announced, but some were still critical of him.
Former Green Bay Packers Quarterback Brett Favre Sends Heartfelt Message Toward His Fans After the Diagnosis
Favre went onto Twitter on Tuesday to talk about his most recent life-changing news. This came as a surprise to a lot of people with the news. Favre added on Twitter:
“First, I want to thank God for all He has done in my life. Next, thanks to Congress for giving me the platform to discuss a much needed TANF reform. As you know, I was recently diagnosed w/ Parkinson’s which has been an ordeal. My wife, family, and friends have been supportive and I want to thank them for being there for me. To my fans and those wishing well — thank you all for the love.“
Favre truly means this message because dealing with Parkinson’s is not easy. Some fans believe that playing football and taking too many hits to the head caused it.

My man… look into the benefits of Creatine for Parkinson’s. And the hyperbaric chamber.
