ATLANTA (AP) — Sponsors are sticking by Brett Favre after the NFL fined him $50,000 for failing to cooperate in an investigation.
The fine came after an investigation into allegations the 41-year-old Minnesota Vikings quarterback sent inappropriate messages and lewd photos to former New York Jets game-day hostess Jenn Sterger.
A spokesperson for Wrangler jeans says the brand still has him under contract. The company wouldn’t comment about the NFL fine. Its commercials featuring Favre are still running.
Snapper, a unit of Briggs & Stratton Corp., that makes lawn mowers, snow throwers and other products, has an image of Favre on its Web site and says Favre remains a spokesperson.
