Brady is considered by many fans to be the greatest quarterback in NFL history, having won 7 Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
In 2016, Brady was subjected to widespread criticism by the corporate media after it was revealed that he kept a “Make America Great Again” hat in his locker.
Brady has expressed disagreement with President Donald Trump on the issue of NFL players using the playing field as a vehicle for BLM protests.
“I thought it was just divisive,” Brady said of Trump’s criticism of NFL BLM activists in 2017.
“I just want to support my teammates. I am never one to say, ‘Oh, that is wrong. That is right.’ I do believe in what I believe in. I believe in bringing people together and respect and love and trust. Those are the values that my parents instilled in me.”
