Yeah, come on, just because Brady is so unfairly handsome and impeccably groomed, and does so many modeling gigs, that doesn’t make him gay.

Impeccably groomed? Have you seen that gawd-awful beard on his face about mid-season? I can’t imagine a gay guy being caught dead with that.

I hear he likes musical theater too.

I think there would be racist tweets/comments no matter what team it was.

There are always racist shitbags out there, and they love to come out of the woodwork at times like that.

It sucks that they became the sort-of “face of the Bruins” after that incident, and I’m by no means defending them, I’m just saying that it’s unfair to say that only Boston’s fans are racist, or that anything other than a tiny minority are, because of it.

He’ll happily like whatever Gisele \*wants \*him to like, if he knows what’s good for him. 😉

Brady is still probably the only NFL player in modern history to make less money than his wife.
