Posted Monday July 28, 2008, About: Favre won't go to Packers camp
The likes of Brett Favre will not pass our way again. The Packers have shown their true colors, unnecessarily causing sincere emotional pain not only to their one authentic hero, but to people around the world who have come to love him.

Heroes should never be treated like this - the lemmings are those who are so selfish, so thoughtless and mean-spirited and utterly blind to the qualities that define a hero. And if you folks took the time to learn more about this man, the guy who has constantly shown how deep his emotions run in elation and in tragedy; the rare man of strength physically and morally; the man whose "100% commitment" to his family who has lived up to those words - by the way, his definition of "family" is startlingly broad, including his teammates, his traditionally-defined family, and the very sick kids whose homes have tragically come to include Children's Hospital at the Medical College of Wisconsin. He and his wife are there "all the time", according to a young woman whose teenage son lives with chronic, severe illness. It takes a person of rare courage to not only meet but become personally acquainted with children who are so ill. I don't believe these actions are in his job description. They come from that heart - that heart so rarely seen in this country, especially in a big, tough, mean football player. That heart he's constitutionally unable to hide. We won't see the likes of him pass our way again.

I'm sorry he's been so badly hurt. I turn away in shame at such casual cruelty.
