On May 10, it was announced by FOX Sports that, once Tom Brady was ready to retire from playing football, he would join the network as their lead analyst. “It will be a stellar and exciting television career, but that’s up to him to make that choice when he sees fit,” said Lachlan Murdoch, FOX Corporation’s CEO. While many involved in the situation seem to be thrilled about his decision, fans of Brady had some pretty funny commentary to share about his plan.
As shared by the New York Post, fans on Twitter began to make jokes about Brady’s choice to continue his sports career, rather than focus on his family — the reason he had announced his retirement from football in January 2022 (per ESPN). On Twitter, one user tweeted, “Tom Brady really spent a month at home and said never again.” Another user, directly tweeting at Brady himself, posted, “@TomBrady proactively finding ways to avoid packing school lunches is hero status.” Per The Spun, one audacious tweet read, “Tom Brady hates his family.” Regardless of the reasoning behind Brady’s career continuation, one thing is clear: as long as he has a career, the jokes will have a place to land.
