To offset the Trump endorsement from Bobby Orr and Brett Favre, we need Michael Jordan to come out and publicly endorse Joe Biden. It will definitely boost the morale and energy for the Democrats in North Carolina to turn the state BLUE.

He is about as non-political as they come. Watch "The Last Dance" on Netflix, they talk about it in one of the episodes.

but he is a legend. He is a Hall of Famer and still holds passing records.

There are still some records that remain Favre's, though. He has the most career pass completions (6,300) and attempts (10,169), as well as the most consecutive seasons of 300-plus pass completions (18). His 290 career games of 100-plus passing yards is another record. And he still has the record for most consecutive games played at 297.

It's like saying Orr isn't a legend just because he is a Trumper.

I don’t remember the game at all as I was about 3 when they won the Cup, but I feel like I remember the game because of the poster.

Breaks my heart that Trumps rich friends (Bobby Orr is a Canadian by birth but assume he has American Citizenship, one of those Trump supporters) are ruining their reputations for him. But when someone tells you who they are, believe them.

Most every one of these old POS white male Trump jacob-cupping athletes would have been golf-clapping (Nicklaus, I'm looking at you) for Hitler circa 1935.

transactional athlete he's ever met." No personality and never does anything unless there's something in it for him. Sounds just like the POS he endorsed.

This is a bit disappointing, but I don’t particularly care what his views on politics are. He is one of the greats in hockey.
