MILWAUKEE -- Former Green Bay Packers quarterback Brett Favre mistakenly shared an anti-Semitic message on a viral smartphone app after being misled by a group of anti-Semitic internet users.
Favre's message was accidentally shared on Cameo, an app that allows consumers to purchase personalized video messages from celebrities and sports figures.
In a Facebook post, Favre explained that he's fulfilled over 50 Cameo video requests without incident. "Since I match service dogs with military veterans who have PTSD, I assumed that the request stemmed from my interest in veterans affairs and recorded the message," said Favre.
According to Buzzfeed News, the message was as follows:
A few days later, Favre learned the request came from an anti-Semitic group who reposted the video, implying that Favre endorsed their mission.
"Nothing could be further from the truth," said Favre on Facebook. Favre announced he will be donating his $500 commission to charities supporting the "fight against hate and bigotry."
Favre condemned the group's actions and intentions in the rest of his Facebook post, which can be read below.
