Michael Vick Worries Brett Favre Is 'Untouchable' in Mississippi Welfare Scandal: 'The System Is Rigged'

Netflix released the one-hour documentary "Untold: The Fall of Favre" on Tuesday, focusing on Brett Favre's late career and welfare scandal in Mississippi.
The film explores allegations that Favre helped misdirect more than $20 million of Mississippi welfare funds to build a volleyball arena at Southern Miss, where his daughter played.
Former NFL quarterback Michael Vick, who served federal prison time, criticized the apparent lack of accountability for Favre despite the large-scale embezzlement described as the state's biggest.
Vick emphasized that individuals are often sentenced to prison for theft, expressing skepticism that Favre, who denies any misconduct and has not been charged, will face similar consequences.
The documentary and Vick's comments suggest ongoing public scrutiny and debate about Favre's involvement, raising questions about fairness and justice in the case.
