With Tom Brady not yet playing in his tenth Super Bowl, a USA Today sports columnist turned to the NFL superstar about his support for former President Donald Trump.
In a piece published Tuesday with the headline, “Tom Brady got an undeserved pass for his support of Donald Trump in the past,” Nancy Armor accuses Tampa Bay Buccaneers full-back that he “is happy to talk politics until he was not. “
Armor quoted the presence of a “Make America Great Again” hat in Brady’s box office while he was a member of the New England Patriots and previous comments he made in support of his ‘friend’ Trump before insisting that it is no longer convenient to talk about the 45th president now. that he does not have his office and faces a second accusation.
“How powerful white [sic] Armor wrote. “Brady’s ability to enter and leave the debate of his choice, to protect himself from liability, is the highlight of white [sic] privilege. As this country grapples with the fringes of systemic racism, look no further than Brady, for whom the expectations and allowances granted will always be different. ‘

Armor agrees with the comments of Pro Football Hall of Famer Shannon Sharpe, who claims that someone like LeBron James will never get away with someone like the leader of the Nation of Islam and the famous anti-Semite Louis Farrakhan like Brady associated with Trump.
“In theory, it should not matter whether Brady Trump, Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez or anyone in between supports the political spectrum. He has the right to his private opinion,” Armor wrote. “But it was Brady himself who chose to make the private views public. If you think the MAGA hat just happened to end up in his closet – at camera level, not buried at the bottom of a pile of clamps and clothes – I did a case of TB12 supplements to sell you.Brady carefully cultivated his image during his 21-year career, whether it’s his style or his social media posts, and he knew exactly what kind of response he would get.
‘Brady had the chance – in fact several – to clarify or withdraw his comments and chose not to do so … Instead, Brady was allowed to separate himself from it, while black athletes constantly had their own views views. “she continued.” It may seem small to address Brady’s moral cowardice now, when the 43-year-old accomplishes things that will probably never be seen in the NFL again. But celebrating what he did while watching cloths for what he does not have is a privilege that Brady does not deserve. ‘

Armor, who wrote a similar column before Super Bowl 51 in 2017, insisting that Brady “should make some explanations” and “no longer get his friendship with Donald Trump”, said her latest attempt promoted on Twitter and wrote ‘Tom’ Brady’s politics is not the issue. It is his refusal to acknowledge that his ability to enter and leave the debate if he chooses, to protect him from liability, is a privilege that black and brown athletes do not have. ‘
Armor’s tweet and op-ed received criticism.
“What are you talking about?” PJ media writer Jim Treacher responded. ‘Just because he had Trump photographed with him? I hate Tom Brady and politics have nothing to do with it. ‘

“140 million Americans voted for Trump in two elections – many of them black and brown. Your column is ridiculous,” GOP strategist Chris Barron told Armor.
“Yes, you wrote exactly the same thing in 2017. Your specific brand of amateur people – clicking for print – is a bigger problem than Tom Brady is,” said Conservative commentator Stephen Miller. wrote.
