Text messages show Brett Favre sought welfare money for a football facility

Former NFL quarterback Brett Favre is pictured in 2018. The governor of Mississippi in 2017 was "on board" with a plan for a nonprofit group to pay Brett Favre more than $1 million in welfare grant money so the retired NFL quarterback could help fund a university volleyball facility, according to text messages.

Mississippi spent millions in welfare money on Brett Favre's pet project, a university volleyball arena. The retired NFL quarterback then tried to get additional money for another sports facility.
