NFL fans call out Tom Brady's hypocrisy over controversial 'Flag Football' comment - "Overrated as* cry baby"

Tom Brady retired from the NFL less than a year ago and he is already seeing a change in the league. The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback discussed the NFL officiating and penalties on this week's episode of his "Let's Go!" podcast.

Brady thinks that many people want the NFL to be less physical and may become a flag football league. He then went on to mention flag football is now an Olympic sport. The former QB said:

"There’s so many people that want it less and less physical, it’s more like flag football which is going to be in the Olympics in 2028. Maybe football goes to flag football over a period of time."

Brady added:

"Football is a physical sport, there’s a physical element to all of this, you throw a 15-yard flag for something that, you know, 20 years ago maybe wouldn’t have had a flag. That affects the game in a big way."

Fans were not pleased with Tom Brady's comments about the league's penalties. Many fans on social media agreed that the former quarterback benefited from calls throughout his career. Others stated the league changed its penalties to protect the quarterback because of Tom Brady.
