Tom Brady gave a controversial statement days ago regarding his stance of the Super Bowl LX between the New England Patriots and the Seattle Seahawks. However, now he is doing a 180-turn.
Brady said he had no dog in the fight, implying he wasnât rooting for his former team against the Seahawks in Super Bowl LX. That caused that even Patriots player openly slammed Brady for that. However, Brady posted a picture of him with Patriots owner, Robert Kenneth Kraft.
The caption sent a clear message. Brady posted, âYou know I got your back RKK. Get that 7th ring so we can match.â Brady does have a dog in this fight and it hails from New England. And of course it was, Brady won six Super Bowls while playing for the Patriots, he definitely roots for them and now itâs all confirmed.
Kraft always had Bradyâs back
It was the 2016 season when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo started games for the Patriots in the middle of the âDeflategateâ scandal. Rumor has it that then-head coach Bill Belichick saw in Garoppolo the heir to Tom Brady, going so far that Brady and Belichick almost had a fallout. In fact, Brady had to go to Kraft to get leverage. Hence, Kraft pretty much forced Belichick to put Brady back on and traded Jimmy Garoppolo.
New England Patriots owner Robert Kraft
Brady has always described Kraft like a âsecond fatherâ and a âgreat influence.â Meanwhile, Kraft says Brady is âlike a sonâ to him. They go so back, that Kraft attended Bradyâs wedding back in the day, and Brady was very supportive of Kraft when his wife Myra passed away back in 2011.
