If the Republican God had decided to make a perfect living avatar of white privilege,

[paulkienitz]

he could hardly have done better than to create Tom Brady.

Good riddance.

1. "Privilege" connotes the receipt of something unearned.

By most accounts, Tom Brady has worked harder at his craft than virtually any other player in NFL history.
You don't like him? Fine.
But "privileged"? Sorry, he earned everything he got from the game of football.

2. earned, my ass

"Deflategate" is only one of several cheating scandals tied to his career.

3. Got it, you don't like him. But "Deflategate" was a steaming crock of horseshit.

It was disproved scientifically, and and found to be unsupportable legally.

Any comment about his unquestioned work ethic, (you know, the way he EARNED his acclaimation as the GOAT and an eventual shoo-in first ballot entry into the Hall of Fame), or are you just going to keep flinging debunked bullshit at the wall and hope something sticks?

[paulkienitz]

5. even without deflategate, the Pats have a history of being caught and paying penalties for cheating

and Brady once destroyed his own phone to hide evidence.

You can see there are reasons why he and Trumpsky were such pals... they're compatible.
