Brett Favre believes there has been a change in the NFL's engagement strategy.

The Pro Football Hall of Famer discussed the issue during an appearance on Tomi Lahren's OutKick show earlier this week, in which Lahren said she felt the NFL changed its approach to the way it appeals to fans "somewhere around Colin Kaepernick."

It was a sentiment that Favre agreed with.

"I think there probably is some truth to that. Why that has changed, I really don't know," Favre said. "Because I think your general football audience is people like you and I. Maybe loves football, or maybe is a casual, fair-weather fan, but it is the biggest show in town. So you watch it, you know, you watch the halftime show and who sang the national anthem. You know, that's been that way for a long time.

"But you're right, you know, in the last maybe 10 years, maybe a little longer, there's been a slight shift. For whatever reason, I have no idea, because you want to appeal to your true fans. And it doesn't seem like that is the case anymore."
