Tom Brady Discloses Super Bowl 2026 Allegiance Amid Patriots Controversy
Tom Brady has publicly declared his support for the New England Patriots as they prepare for Super Bowl 2026 against the Seattle Seahawks. This revelation comes after his prior neutral stance, which sparked dissatisfaction among fans and former teammates.
Brady’s Super Bowl Allegiance Revealed
Late Friday, Brady posted on Instagram, sharing a moment with Patriots owner Robert Kraft. He captioned the photo with enthusiasm, stating, “You know I got your back, RKK. Get that 7th ring so we can match.” This marks a significant shift from his earlier diplomatic comments during a podcast appearance.
Initially, Brady had conveyed that he would remain neutral in the upcoming matchup. Speaking on the “Let’s Go” podcast with Jim Gray, he remarked, “I don’t have a dog in the fight in this one. May the best team win.” This comment drew criticism from several figures in the Patriots community.
Reactions from Former Teammates
Brady’s comments did not sit well with all former Patriots players. Vince Wilfork, a two-time Super Bowl champion with Brady, expressed his disappointment, calling Brady’s stance “bullcrap.” Wilfork emphasized, “If you’re a Patriot for life, you know what it is. Don’t give me that political bull crap.”
Asante Samuel echoed these sentiments, stating he was “highly disappointed” and took to social media to express his frustrations. These reactions highlight the strong emotional ties many former players feel towards the organization and its legacy.
Brady’s Legacy with the Patriots
The upcoming Super Bowl is particularly notable for the Patriots. Should they win, they will secure their seventh championship title, a milestone that would put them ahead of the Pittsburgh Steelers for the most Super Bowl victories. Without Brady, who led the team to six titles in the 2001, 2003, 2004, 2014, 2016, and 2018 seasons, the Patriots aim to reclaim their glory.
The Seahawks, on the other hand, are seeking their second championship, competing fiercely for victory. As Brady supports his former team, fans can anticipate an exciting contest on Super Bowl Sunday.
