Tom Brady Trending with Colin Kaepernick Following Super Bowl Berth

Tom Brady is always making headlines.  As he makes his way to another Super Bowl, some football fans are pointing out that the quarterback’s politics, i.e., his friendship with Donald Trump, haven’t derailed his career in the way that Colin Kaepernick’s peaceful protest of police violence did, arguably leading to his exit from the NFL.

Funny how people can separate Tom Brady’s politics from his game, but struggle to do the same when it comes to Kaepernick.

No matter who is in the Super Bowl, the quarterback who still deserves discussion is Colin Kaepernick, our columnist @KurtStreeter argues, https://t.co/ul1SJK63T9

Tom Brady broke his phone because he was innocent in the Deflategate scandal, bought a million dollar boat after receiving a $960K PPP loan illicitly, and had his TB12 business on the Patriots payroll.

Aside for the many reasons this is a bad comparison, Kaepernick chooses to be a political activist. Brady just HAS political opinions. https://t.co/rutfyE78XP

Oh boy I'm sure there is some rational and educated discussion going on here. One QB is literally the GOAT, and the NFL always overlooks things when the talent is great enough (Josh Gordon, most notably). The other is Colin Kaepernick. pic.twitter.com/86YI4WrU80

Kaepernick is the one who brought his politics into the game … https://t.co/xJySnt9EIO

Colin Kaepernick never tried to get my vote thrown out, tried to hang the Vice President, hunt for members of Congress – or, to my knowledge, had any association with anyone who did.

Well, Brady is still good and @Kaepernick7 never really was, so…
Also, Colin's "politics" is calling everyone a racist, Brady's "politics" is being friendly with people leftists hate. https://t.co/NkJKjhvUXW

ROFL!!!!!!! 😂😂😂😂

I'm pretty sure kaepernick being an at best average NFL QB is the reason he's not in the NFL.. 🤷🏻‍♂️

Reminder that he lost his job to Blaine Gabbert.

Trust me, if @Kaepernick7 were as good as @TomBrady he'd be playing. https://t.co/0fpjl8Au4j

If Kaepernick could win a team a Super bowl, he’d be playing. Owners don’t care about politics that much to sacrifice winning. Comparing Tom Brady to Kaepernick isn’t really apples to apples.

Kaepernick  definitely deserves a roster spot, but he wasn’t playing all that great prior to being blackballed.
