Through all the twists and turns of the Deflategate saga, the legal bickering and in-depth air pressure analyses, the story remained compelling for one reason: It put the reputation of New England Patriots

when one of Trump’s “Make America Great Again” trucker hats was spotted in Brady’s locker. Brady explained that Trump had given the hat to Patriots owner Robert Kraft to pass along to the quarterback. Trump, Brady said, “always gives me a call and different types of motivational speeches at different times.” He said their friendship dates back to 2002, adding that “it’s pretty amazing what he’s been able to accomplish. He obviously appeals to a lot of people, and he’s a hell of a lot of fun to play golf with.”
Then, on Sept. 16, Brady was asked if Trump has a shot at becoming president. “I hope so,” Brady said. “That would be great.
...But he had two chances to distance himself from the nation’s most polarizing figure of the moment. He chose not to. “That would be great” is as close to an official endorsement as you can get.
Brady’s words carry weight. ...is one of the most recognizable figures in the country. An entire subsection of New England, young and old, worships him

Oh good grief.
“Tom Brady needs to answer questions about his support of Donald Trump”
Actually he is a free American, and doesn’t owe you jack.
Gimme a break.
The long knives are coming out.
Sports Illustrated. I remember when they used to be a thing.
Why? And who cares? Leave him alone. (Even though I loathe the Patriots and support their Kryptonite (the New York Football Giants!)).

Another stupid self hating Jew begging for a return to socialism.
Mr. Brady, a citizen of the United States, doesn't need to do jack shiite except die and pay taxes.
I'm not a fan of Trump, but Brady can vote for whoever he wants.
The hysterical libs in both parties will do their best to destroy Trump and anyone who supports him. Brady should just tell them to **** themselves.
Mrs. Leibowitz’s little Aaron needs to get a real job and stop bothering people.
Can someone with more time/better resources find the voting registration / union affiliation of the two massholes? (Scott Leader, 38, and his brother, Steve Leader, 30)
I think there just might be a few others like him in the media.
OMG!!! We aren’t a free Country anymore!!!
Tom Brady HAS TO ANSWER why he is voting for Trump?
Are you stupid or what?
I know, yo momma threw you out the window with the bath water right?
This was written by Tom Brady haters on Free Republic. Ok guys fess up who wrote it?
Promoting homo everything was not enough for you?
Since when can’t athletes express opinions? Didn’t the NFL or the NHL support same-sex marriage? I do recall way back a list of hockey players who came out to say gay marriage was so cool. And didn’t Michael Jordan support B. Obama?
That’s what I was going to say.
Tom Brady is a CITIZEN .. he can support or vote for anyone he wants.
These DemocRATS are just disgusting.
