As the Minnesota Vikings prepared for Monday night’s game against the New York Jets there was more talk about Brett Favre and Jenn Sterger than there was on the effect having Randy Moss in the Vikings lineup was going to have on the game. Isn’t it amazing that a story that has been percolating on the internet for months now suddenly became a big story just days before the Vikings and Favre were headed to the Big Apple for a game?
I’m not quite sure when covering the world of sports suddenly crossed over into the porn beat, but I’m really sick of it. First of all, if Favre was sexting and making passes at Jets female employees when he played there two years ago, he was an idiot. But sexual harassment aside, I’m not quite sure where the public and NFL comes in here.
In the case of Sterger, she’s apparently said all along she had no intent of pursuing the matter, she just happened to let a few friends know what was going on, allegedly and word got out. In the case of the other two Jets female masseuses, they sound like bandwagon jumpers.
One claims Favre stared at her ass while he was getting a massage from another woman. Really? If it’s a sexual harassment issue, wouldn’t it be something that would have been taken care of privately by his employer, the Jets?
If true, as I said, Favre is giving his good old boy Mississippi background brand name a beat down. But does America really care? Do NFL fans really care? And by the way, if the NFL is fast tracking their investigation with a possibility of suspending him, don’t they need to start suspending all players involved in infidelity? And if they’re going to suspend players for that, they damn well better suspend them for DUI’s.
If this was sexual banter between two consenting adults, why does everyone else have to get involved? It’s Brett’s problem and an issue he and his wife have to deal with. I could really care less.
