Not shocked by #TomBrady yucking it up with Biden at the White House at all. Brady is, by all accounts, the exact constituency that pushed Biden over the top in places like GA & Arizona.....
Brady's politics, such as they've been revealed, are that of your typical wealthy conservative white man. He claims to be 'apolitical' but somehow his politics always lean right.
Brady had no problem with Trump in 16, likely voted for him in spite of or perhaps because of the former POTUS overt racism and misogyny but also because he promised lower taxes and greater freedom for the Uber Wealthy like Brady. Win - win.
As recently as last year Brady got a 900K PPE loan from the government, while hundreds of thousands of small businesses went belly-up during #COVID19 pandemic. It helps to be friends with Trump.... Sometimes

But weighed against Trump's, incompetence w/ COVID, wildly erratic behavior, and disruption of the NFL itself, Brady, like many upper class married white men, flipped to Biden. (Biden's gains w/ Married MEN across the board was one the biggest reasons for his victory.)
This is STILL the Brady who refused to go to the White House when Obama was president, because possibly he, like many other men in his demographic, are more amendable to a White male president than the black one, and certainly a woman. usatoday.com/story/sports/c…
