While at a rally in Virginia, Trump mentioned Brady as one of the “champions” who support his candidacy for office. Trump also named UFC president Dana White, Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger and former Indiana coach Bobby Knight as sports legends who are also his supporters. The businessman and reality TV star said he would prefer to have the athletes as opposed to other politicians speak for him at the upcoming Republican National Convention.

“We’re going to do it a little different, if it’s okay.,” Trump said. “I’m thinking about getting some of the great sports people who like me a lot ... Our country needs to see winners. We don’t see winners anymore. We have a bunch of clowns running this country. We have people who don’t know what the hell they’re doing running our country."

Trump, who recently described himself as “the least racist person,” has previously been vocal about his friendship with Brady. The Patriots quarterback sported one of the candidate’s trademark “Make America Great Again” hats in his locker last season.

1. Since the cheater is...

Suspended for the first 4 games of the season Tom should have plenty of free time to do so.

2. Ben the rapist?

looks like he belongs with the trump campaign

[HassleCat]

3. Football sucks!

If a professional football player endorses something or someone, I am strongly inclined to be against it.

[WhiteTara]

4. So he has a cheater and a bully cheering him on

I don't know about the other two, but I'm sure they real "winners"

[madinmaryland]

5. Another one is a rapist (Roethlisberger).

[WhiteTara]

7. Now he just needs a murderer to say that he is

a great, really the greatest, person who ever walked the planet.

[madinmaryland]

13. OJ is still looking for the murderer.

6. he cant do any worse than clint eastwood i guess.nt.

[WhiteTara]

9. Well, Clint was just talking to an empty chair

and Trump would be talking to world leaders...it could be much worse.

[drray23]

11. I meant tom brady if he is invited to speak could not do worse than clint eastwood. nt.

[WhiteTara]

14. Well that is funny! I was totally confused

No. You're right, Brady couldn't do worse than Clint!

[Mendocino]

12. A chair?

Bobby Knight would just throw it at someone.

8. comedy gold! can't wait

[AgadorSparticus]

10. How pathetic. He really thinks this is a reality TV show.

[Arkana]

15. Brady doesn't play politics.

He knows perfectly well that a lot of Patriots fans would instantly hate him for it.

Seein' a lot of salt from Patriots haters ITT :smug:

[mythology]

16. None of them objected to him being a cheating piece of garbage

Just like none of them had a problem with David Ortiz being a PED abuser, but they rant about Alex Rodriguez being one.

Never underestimate the willingness of a Boston sports fan to fawn over the local teams.

[Arkana]

19. Speaking as a Boston sports fan,

I'd say that Patriots fans are no worse than fanbases from, oh, anywhere else.

Just like Steelers fans who bitch about Brady cheating--except for the fact that the Steelers teams of the 70s were made up of guys who made their bones off of illegal hits. Or Al Davis, a guy who based his career on cheating.

[titaniumsalute]

17. Well it would be reality TV

I can't wait to see Bobby Knight throw a chair into the audience and tell them to fuck off...

[6000eliot]

18. Maybe they can find an empty chair for him to talk to.

[Initech]

20. One cheater endorsing another? Pass the butter please!

[Monk06]

21. Just one big testicle polishing contest

Wata go that winning the women's vote Doorknob
