Tom Brady plays coy on Super Bowl pick after coming under fire for lack of Patriots' support
Tom Brady faced criticism for not explicitly supporting the New England Patriots and has been vague in his Super Bowl predictions.
Tom Brady, the famed quarterback, found himself under scrutiny from both current and former New England Patriots players for his ambiguous stance on the upcoming Super Bowl. During an interview, he stated he doesn't have a 'dog in the fight', sparking disappointment among fans and players who expected him to support his former team. Despite his clear ties to the Patriots, having spent the bulk of his stellar career with them, Brady's recent comments have left many puzzled about his loyalties as he approaches the game.
Brady also has connections to the other Super Bowl contender, the Seattle Seahawks, as they are linked to his ownership stake in the Las Vegas Raiders, which are reportedly set to hire Seahawks offensive coordinator Klint Kubiak as their new head coach. These complicated ties to both teams add to the narrative of his indecisiveness regarding whom to back in the matchup, diminishing the clarity of his fan base's expectations of him during this iconic event.
In a social media post featuring a picture with Patriots owner Robert Kraft, Brady seemingly leaned towards supporting the Patriots, stating, "You know I got your back RKK". Despite this, when pressed for an actual prediction on who would win the Super Bowl, Brady cheekily deflected the question, leaving room for speculation and debate among fans and analysts alike about his true allegiance in the high-stakes matchup ahead.
