The 51-year-old athlete wrote in a Twitter post he is voting for Trump because of his views on freedom of speech and religion as well as the Second Amendment, taxation, and law and order.

Favre's endorsement came after he participated in a town hall event moderated by "America This Week" host Eric Bolling. Favre asked Trump for his thoughts on the NFL and NBA's declining ratings, arguing Americans "do not want political messaging mixed with their sports."

He asked the president: "How should the leagues support and promote an anti-racism position without becoming political and alienating fans?"

"People don't want to see all of the politics," Trump said. "They've got enough politics with me and everybody else. They don't want to see it with football and sports on Sunday, or whenever they happen to be watching"... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
