Tom Brady will not attend White House ceremony for "family reasons"

Brady will skip the festivities with Trump today for what he describes as "family reasons".

I know his Mother is very ill, but I don't think that's the excuse for not attending. After all, it's only one afternoon and it is off season, so he gets to spend almost all the time he wants with his ailing Mother, and that's commendable.

No, I speculate that he is not attending because of his wife, Geisel. She hates Trump. I can more readily see a scene like this, "Tom, if you go for that photo-op with that piece of shit fascist bastard, you may as well stay at the White House, 'cause you can't come home".

After all, during the election and NFL season, Brady told the Press, that "my wife told me to stop talking about politics". That was when he said kind words about Trump.

I believe this is the "family matter" he's talking about.

1. If true, then it is Gisele who is truly

the Greatest Of All Time!

3. If so, I have a new found respect for her.

6. Remember

back during election she said her and Tom would not support Trump. I thought that was pretty wild, considering that Tom had the MAGA hat and was known to be friendly with Trump.

2. He will be running for office in a couple of years.

I imagine this is well thought out on his part. I think it has less to do with his wife and more to do with future ambitions.

Put her foot down.
Maggot so wanted that photo op.
Defeated by a woman...again.

5. It's a chickenshit way of backing out without mentioning politics

but I give him partial credit for backing out..
