New England's Trump-loving quarterback and owner have turned them into 'the official team of America

[still_one]

As America prepares to gather for Super Bowl LIII, the New England Patriots — and star quarterback Tom Brady — were slammed in The Daily Beast for being the team of “white nationalism.”

Brady has known the president for over 15 years, after the two met when the quarterback judged a beauty pageant for Trump.

Brady, coach Bill Belichick and owner Robert Kraft are all aligned with Trump.

Brady “flashed a red MAGA hat, an accoutrement that is gaining more and more traction as a symbol of white nationalism in America, in his locker back in the primary days. He wasn’t the only one! Patriots’ Coach Bill Belichick wrote a goddamn letter to Trump right before the end of the campaign that basically amounted to an endorsement, that Trump then read on stage,” Daily Beast writer Corbin Smith wrote. “And Pats’ owner Robert Kraft is also his pal, and was even shouted out at Trump’s pre-Inauguration dinner in D.C. for his most deep-pocketed donors.”

1. As if this Cali Raider fan needed any MORE reason to root for the Rams tomorrow (lol)

I have read Brady has toned down his Trump support considerably since the Primary ... but that ain't changin' who I'm pulling for that's for damn sure.

3. Same here. I am a 49er faithful, but Raiders our my second choice. I hope they don't go to

Las Vegas, at least stay in California


Oakland has the most loyal fans in the country, and obviously the owners could care less

10. Vegas is building the stadium

11. I know, but they will never have a loyal fan base better than they had in Oakland

[mr_lebowski]

13. You got that right ...

Preach

[SouthernIrish]

12. I won't root for Brady either.

With that said, he didn't go to the WH last time they won the Super Bowl because he was going home to see his Mom (she has cancer). Giselle Bundchen ( Brady's wife said that they did not support DT nor vote for him).

Trump played up his relationship with Brady for clout only. Brady has not commented on his politics, as far as I know.

I don't care at all for Brady. He also is a cheater (Deflategate).
That's why this girl is all in for the Rams.

2. Please! I still haven't gotten over old Cowboys being promoted as 'America's team'

[hlthe2b]

4. Never rooted for the Rams in my life. Now, I WILL.

5. +++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++

[GemDigger]

6. Damn, damn, damn, damn it!

I was a fan before Brady, before Belichick and I will be a fan when they are gone. But DAMN why couldn't they just shut the hell up about politics.

Needs a NSFW label!

9. Oh, hell no

[NastyRiffraff]

14. I'm not a Rams fan

but I'll be rooting for them. Just because of this. Otherwise I would have no skin in the Super Bowl game.

[Cha]

18. I don't do football but I'll be rooting for

Rams at Super Bowl.

Tom Brady and the owner are fans of a psychopath.

19. Their praise for Dear Leader is endless:

Robert Kraft says President Trump is working to serve ‘best interests of the country’
By Travis Andersen | Globe Staff | February 01, 2019

New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft told Fox News Friday that President Trump is “working very hard to serve the best interests of the country,” and he also called media mogul Rupert Murdoch “one of the most outstanding human beings on the planet.”

The Pats owner made the comments on the network’s morning program, “Fox & Friends.”

Host Brian Kilmeade noted that Trump tweeted out a congratulatory message to the Patriots after they defeated the Kansas City Chiefs in the AFC title game and asked Kraft how it feels to have the support of the commander-in-chief heading into the Super Bowl.

Trump counts Kraft, head coach Bill Belichick and quarterback Tom Brady among his friends.

20. They'll be on the junk pile of history

soon enough.

[flotsam]

15. Real sports fans here!

Some asswipe brings up a three year old incident of seeing a Trump hat in Brady's locker and football disappears from the discussion. You wanna piss on Trump I'll donate a pint of urine but you should argue politics or sports separately.

[hughee99]

16. Thank god the Rams owner Stan Kroenke isn't a big Trump donor

Oh wait, never mind.
