Tom Brady needs to answer questions about his support of Donald Trump
SI ^ | September 25, 2015 | Aaron Leibowitz

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

...

in South Boston, two brothers allegedly assaulted a 58-year-old homeless man. Police said the brothers targeted the man because he is Hispanic. One of the brothers, Scott Leader, said he was inspired by Trump. “Donald Trump was right,” ...“All these illegals need to be deported.”

...

But by aligning with Trump, the candidate, he is by default aligning himself with Trump, the xenophobe; Trump, the Islamophobe; and Trump, the misogynist. If Brady takes issue with those aspects of the man, he should say something. ...that he condones such views.

Why? And who cares? Leave him alone. (Even though I loathe the Patriots and support their Kryptonite (the New York Football Giants!)).

“Tom Brady needs to answer questions about his support of Donald Trump.”

Mr. Brady, a citizen of the United States, doesn't need to do jack shiite except die and pay taxes.

Wah, wah, wah.

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.

LIEboshitz needs to shut the f--k up. I miss reading his St. Louis Rams/Black LiesMatter report. And other similar stories.

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)

Thank you SI for yet another reason justifying canceling your liberal POS rag. Just cannot leave politics out of sport, can you?

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.
