Brett Favre’s hope for how the electoral map of America turns out split his fans, after he belief that ‘if everyone put God first’, the Republicans would win in a unprecedented 538-0 shutout.
Favre’s support of Donald Trump has been clear throughout the former President’s time aiming for political office.
That belief has not been clearer than over the last six days, where he stumped for Trump in Green Bay, Wisconsin last Wednesday, as well as Tuesday night’s graphic.
The map has come close to reality a few times, as recently as 1984, with Ronald Reagan’s 525-13 victory over Walter Mondale.
Yet, some were opposed to Favre bringing his personal values into a broader conversation about Christianity. Others supported the NFL legend’s thoughts.

‘Thank you, sir, for always putting the American people first in everything you’ve done,’ one person said.
‘Another “Christian” who steals from the poor and gives to himself.’
‘If Christians actually followed Jesus’ teachings,’ said another person with a map attached of a Democrats’ 538-0 victory.
‘Amen! Unfortunately we are always being attacked from all sides…just keep the armor on and put one foot in front of the other!’

Favre has stayed in the headlines over the last few years over a welfare scandal in the state of Mississippi, where he was named as a defendant.
The Viking and Jet testified in front of the Congressional Ways and Means Committee back in September about the matter.
In the case, around $77million in funds meant for families in need was redirected to wealthy families. Favre pushed state officials for funding for Southern Miss’s volleyball facility as that time while his daughter was on the team.
Favre has denied any wrongdoing and has not been criminally charged.
