Tom Brady , in addition to being a minority owner for the Las Vegas Raiders, is FOX Sports ‘ lead color commentator for its NFL coverage. In recent weeks, concerns have been raised about a possible conflict of interest between his roles.
Brady has pushed back on those concerns. The seven-time Super Bowl champion defended himself in his weekly newsletter in an entry titled “Do Your Job,” published Wednesday. He wrote that “paranoid and distrustful” people are the ones who are shouting about there being a conflict of interest in his roles.
“I love football,” Brady wrote. “At its core it is a game of principles. And with all the success it has given me, I feel I have a moral and ethical duty to the sport; which is why the point where my roles in it intersect is not actually a point of conflict, despite what the paranoid and distrustful might believe. Rather, it’s the place from which my ethical duty emerges: to grow, evolve, and improve the game that has given me everything.”
