The Las Vegas Raiders owner, Tom Brady, has been making noise since the home opener vs. the Los Angeles Chargers. Brady was seen in the booth with a headset on, appearing to help the team run the offense.
With the video going viral on social media, there has arisen about Brady’s potential conflict of interest. The seven-time Super Bowl champion is the head color commentator for Fox NFL. It has led to plenty of thinkpieces and posts from teams and fans worried that Brady could be sitting with the Raiders for success with inside information.
In his weekly newsletter, Brady addressed the rumors and the issues people are having with his involvement with the Raiders. He is not a fan of the craziness that surrounded the viral moment.
“I love football. 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,” Brady wrote. “Rather, it’s the place from which my ethical duty emerges: to grow, evolve, and improve the game that has given me everything.”
While people are worried about Brady’s position with the Raiders, it hasn’t helped the offense take the next step. The Silver and Black are 26th in scoring, and there has been no improvement from the previous year. If there is a conflict of interest, Raider Nation is waiting for that to take fruition on the field.
