NFL legend Tom Brady has gained a reaction from military members after some comments he made about enduring a full NFL season.
Brady is having a tough season with the Tampa Bay Buccaneers having reversed his decision to retire from the sport.
He was on the ‘Let’s Go!’ podcast last week with Jim Gray and Kevin Durant and he made comparisons between military deployment and an NFL season.
“I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military, and it’s like, ‘Man, here I go again.’ There’s only one way to do it,” Brady said.
He then apologized for what he had said during a press conference a few days later.
Many fans will have now moved on from the incident but for those in or previously in the military, it is not quite so easy to move on from.
A military content page called NotInRegz posted Brady‘s comments to their 120,000 Instagram followers on the Thursday.
“I honestly thought him saying it was funny,” NotInRegz content administrator, who wished to remain anonymous, told The Post. “I knew some military vets would get mad about it, so I posted it on our page.”
Screenshot catalyst
The NotInRegz Admin said it all started when he got the first screenshot from one of his followers and posted it on his page.
“I received a picture from one of my followers that had messaged Tom Brady on Instagram saying, ‘We have field day at 1600 your room better be clean.’ I thought it was really funny, so I posted it to my story.”
It seemed to have the effect of amusing an entertaining the followers on the page rather than angering them.
“It did not bother me one bit that Tom Brady compared his NFL season to a military deployment,” Drayven Howlett, 21, an active duty Marine who messaged Brady, told The Post. “[I] thought it was hilarious.”
