Feminist Hero: This Man Is Doing Whatever It Takes To Fund Women’s College Volleyball

When the brave young women of the University of Southern Mississippi needed a new state-of-the-art volleyball stadium, the fatcats at the state capitol gave them the cold shoulder. They didn’t want to pony up the $8 million — or even $7 million — to advance women’s sports, forcing the co-eds no choice but to make due with their three current stadiums. That is, until one football legend stepped up to the plate.

This past year Brett Favre, hall of fame quarterback and lover of women everywhere, refused to let the anti-feminists of his home state keep women down. He took on a political system that so often relegates women’s sports to the sideline by funding things like welfare and helped them redistribute resources to the deserving women of USM volleyball. 

The move has earned him the moniker “feminist hero” by groups everywhere.

“Not since Susan B. Anthony fought for women’s suffrage or Malala stepped on the bus to attend school has someone so courageously and selflessly campaigned for women,” said Brenda Toussaint, head of Gender and Women’s Studies at USM. “And despite all the pushback he received from bigots, whistle blowers, and corruption investigators, he blazed ahead.”

The volleyball team agrees. “We’re so lucky to have a man who champions girls’ athletics. Not only does he care deeply about this cause, he also supports me and my dreams like a daughter,” said middle blocker Breleigh Favre. “He is a role model for all men.”

Breleigh also praised Favre for recognizing that the poorest and hungriest people in Mississippi deserved to enjoy their women’s college volleyball in state-of-the-art facilities.
