Mr. Favre said that Mr. Gaddafi’s desire to hold on at all costs “could wind up damaging people’s memory of all the good years he had.”
“The spectacle of an old man hanging in there when he’s clearly lost it, well, there’s only one word for that: embarrassing,” he said. “It’s painful to watch.”
Mr. Favre said that he feels so strongly about this issue that he has reached out to Mr. Gaddafi, urging him to retire.
“He hasn’t responded to my texts,” Mr. Favre said, “but I’m used to that.”
