Tom Brady recently apologized for equating the NFL season with a military deployment, admitting that it was all “poor choice of words” on Thursday. At the start of his Buccaneers press conference, Brady actually interrupted a reporter to apologize, saying he wanted to express his regret to everyone who “may have taken it in a certain way.”
When discussing the difficulties he’s faced trying to balance work and pleasure in the middle of a season with Kevin Durant on Monday’s “Let’s Go!” podcast, Brady first made the war-related remarks. Brady made the comments, “I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment for the military, and it’s like, ‘Man, here I go again.'”

The comments drew criticism quickly, with many people labeling them as tone-deaf on social media. Army veteran Brad Thomas, a participant in Black Hawk Down, even lambasted the quarterback on his Instagram page. Brady looked dejected as he delivered his apology on Thursday, showing that he felt bad about everything.
Brady quickly made an apology and said “I have a tremendous amount of gratitude for everyone who served,” he said. “And, in the end, we play a game, and the military is defending our country. It’s two different things and I shouldn’t have made the comparison.”
It was a pretty crazy thing for the GOAT to say, though I don’t think he realized the comparison he was making to give him the benefit of the doubt. I think he was in the moment and made a bad comparison. It happens to all of us. He quickly clarified it and we’ll see what happens next. He has a lot to worry about lately.
