The Fox deal has to end. This is ridiculous. He can’t be unbiased. It’s impossible.

@MySportsUpdate How the fuck is this allowed

@MySportsUpdate This has to break about 15 different rules

he should not be calling football games and doing pre game meetings with players/coaches if he’s doing this.

@MySportsUpdate How is he allowed to do this and work for Fox? Genuinely baffles me

Tom Brady signed a 10-year broadcasting deal with FOX Sports worth $375 million in 2022. However, because of his status as a minority owner of the Raiders, several restrictions were placed on him during the 2024 season.

This prevented him from participating in various activities as an analyst. This included him not attending in-person or online broadcast production meetings while also preventing him from accessing team facilities, coaches, and players. The NFL constitution and bylaws also prevented the retired seven-time Super Bowl champion from publicly criticizing game officials and other teams.
