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

Posted on 09/26/2015 2:46:14 PM PDT by Red Steel

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.

That would be Obama, not Donald Trump and it's more like most polarizing figure of the past century.

This is political persecution and it's fing disgusting.

The sports media needs to worry about sports ONLY! I don’t give a damn about Tom Brady’s political views and neither should Mr. Leibowitz.

As usual, this will only HELP Trump.

After the Rush imbroglio (and very many others) it has become clear what LIBERALS FROM HELL sports journalism is.

Liberal hating Trump = GOOD FOR TRUMP.

I hope they hate him a whole lot MORE, going forward.

No more than Aaron Leibowitz needs to wear a Star of David so others know he’s a Jew.

Amazing. A rational person would expect a Jew to be the last person in favor of this kind of fascist thinking.
