Tom Brady Declares His Support For Presidential Candidate Donald Trump Sports


"That would be great."

Well, at least Tom Brady had made it a few consecutive days without being
at the crux of a controversy. But that’s over now.

On Wednesday, Brady entered the political ring again when he threw his
support behind his "good friend

Donald
Trump.

The New England Patriots quarterback -- who spent much of the summer both
in the headlines and in the courtrooms -- raised the blood pressure of his
PR team last week when a hat featuring Trump’s campaign slogan was seen in
his locker

.

At the time, Brady dodged giving a direct answer

as
to whether he would vote for the controversial candidate. But today, the
equivocation was axed -- Brady wants Trump in 2016.

In a way, it makes sense. Both figures are charismatic but oft-caricatured,
and popular within their respective bases while being polarizing to the
rest of the nation.

Brady, however, should be a better friend to his 69-year-old golf buddy

reconsider his public vote of confidence in Trump. Why?

Friends don't let friends make an ass of themselves by running for
president.
