Bucs center unclear why Brett Favre was allowed to be at a game his family wasn't

Hall of Fame quarterback Brett Favre turned heads when he showed up to Raymond James Stadium on Sunday considering the Tampa Bay Buccaneers are not allowing fans for the first two games. According to NBC Sports, Favre was joined by a “couple” of family members and a “pretty decent-sized film crew.” Favre was walking through the seats without a mask while those around him had ones on.

Favre was seen walking down to a stadium seat during the Bucs’ 31-17 victory over the Carolina Panthers. He was wearing a Buccaneers T-shirt a week after lending his support to the quarterback following his rough debut. Wearing a mask is one of the protocols for fans and media members attending games, as well as for coaches on the sidelines.

Buccaneers center Ryan Jensen took issue with the situation and publicly wondered why Favre could attend the game, but his (Jensen’s) own family couldn’t be there.

The Bucs announced earlier this month they will not host fans for the team’s first two home games due to the COVID-19 pandemic. They hope to allow fans for ensuing home games, beginning in Week 6 when Favre’s former team, the Green Bay Packers, comes to town.
