Abby Wambach Quitting Brett Favre-Backed Company Over Welfare Funds Scandal

U.S. Women’s National Team legend Abby Wambach is distancing herself from a health business supported by Brett Favre … after learning business has actually been implicated of being associated with the enormous Mississippi well-being funds scandal.

ESPN reports Wambach — a member of the sports board of advisers for Odyssey Health — had her points out on the business’s site scrubbed Thursday afternoon … after hearing that a claim submitted by the state of Mississippi declared $2.1 million planned for well-being receivers was directed to the health business rather.

Odyssey Health is a drug business establishing a nasal spray to deal with concussions … and Favre is supposedly its greatest financier. Kurt Warner, Mark Rypien, David Ross and Steve Mariucci are likewise members of the org.’s sports board of advisers.

Wambach discussed her choice to leave in an e-mail Thursday to ESPN … stating, “Minutes after learning this new information, I initiated the process to immediately and fully divest myself from any involvement — financial and otherwise — with Prevacus/Odyssey Health Inc.”

“A process that I insisted be complete by end of day today.”

Wambach included she “genuinely believed this company was being transparent about a product that could spare the next generation of athletes from the severe impact of concussion injuries that I endured as a professional athlete.”

“I am profoundly angry, disappointed, and saddened by what I learned today.”

Wambach’s choice to completely divest from the drug business begins the heels of more troubling allegations for Favre … whose charity, Favre 4 Hope, is under fire for contributing cash implied for kids and cancer clients to USM’s athletic structure in between 2018-2020.
