Ever since I was a child, Brett Farve has been my all time favorite football player. I have followed him from the time he was a cheese head, to New York with the Jets, and now as a Viking. Even though I haven’t been around long enough to see him play all twenty seasons, I have watched him for as long as I can remember. A few years ago word got around that he was retiring from the Green Bay Packer. Obviously, I was devastated because I no longer had someone to support on Sundays when the football games were on. To my relief, he never when through with it and moved to a new team. Many during this time did not support Farve’s returning to the game even some of his most dedicated fans. Many wanted him to retire and walk away from the game he loves so much. I do not understand why so many had such a strong opinion about whether he continued to be a quarterback for the NFL. Why don’t those people try to quit the one thing that they love the most and have done for their entire life? Farve’s life has always centered on this sport, and it is not fair for people to try and take that from him. I think people should leave him alone and not scrutinize his decision to keep playing even as he enters in to his forties. He has amazing leadership skills and will always be classified as one of the greatest players of all time. If Brett continues to play as well as he did before there is no reason for him to pack up his locker and return home to Mississippi. He has had made accomplishments in his career that others only hope to achieve so why are people so desperate to see this legendary player jog of the field for the last time?
