"Brett Favre here with a shoutout to the Handsome Truth and the GDL boys," the NFL legend said in his video, which has since been removed. "You guys are patriots in my eyes. So keep waking them up and don't let the small get you down. Keep fighting, too, and don't ever forget the USS Liberty and the men and women who died on that day. God bless and take care."
"The small" refers to "small hats," a slur for the traditional hats worn by Jewish men, yarmulkes, according to BuzzFeed.
The "USS Liberty," a historical event that anti-Semites often misconstrue to promote bigoted tropes, refers to a 1967 incident in which Israel fired on a U.S. ship, killing 34. Both countries have said it was a case of mistaken identity during the country's Six-Day War, with Israel believing the U.S. ship was Egyptian.
The scripts given to Soulja Boy and Dick are similar, with references to GDL and coded anti-Semitism.
