Tom Brady’s Son Getting Called Out for Nepotism After Landing Ball Boy Gig

Tom Brady’s son Jack is in the news this week, and some are not pleased. Tom Brady left the New England Patriots for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers and now he has a little more pull. Tom got his 13-year-old son Jack, who he shares with ex-girlfriend Bridget Moynahan, a job as a ball boy for the NFL team. Tthe 44-year-old proudly shared photos of his son on the field with the team to his Instagram stories.

Apparently Belichick didn’t want Tom’s son hanging around in New England.

Deadspin even dedicated an entire article about Brady’s son and nepotism:

“Nepotism runs wild.

It’s the main reason so many Black people can’t get jobs when their playing careers are over in the league.

It’s both sad and wrong.

Too often, white owners, coaches and front office people hire and promote family members. Despite making up nearly 75 percent of the league on the field, Black players are usually shut out from sneaking in through the coaching backdoor.”

People were not happy with Deadspin’s hot take:

This article is trash. Both coordinators are black men. Race baiting at its lowest. Do better.

Pretty sad that people are jealous of Tom Brady’s son landing the ball boy gig.

Life isn’t always fair and balanced. The kid was lucky enough to be Tom Brady’s son, that’s how the world works.

Deadspin with the super reach.
