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 wasn’t 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, “You know I got your back RKK. Get that 7th ring so we can match.” 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 it’s all confirmed.

Kraft always had Brady’s back

It was the 2016 season when quarterback Jimmy Garoppolo started games for the Patriots in the middle of the ‘Deflategate‘ 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.

Brady has always described Kraft like a “second father” and a “great influence.” Meanwhile, Kraft says Brady is “like a son” to him. They go so back, that Kraft attended Brady’s wedding back in the day, and Brady was very supportive of Kraft when his wife Myra passed away back in 2011.
