Tom Brady came though again with his seventh Super Bowl triumph and, as a side bonus, sent the leftists into meltdown.
It was written in this space recently how Brady drives to distraction the liberals, socialists, social justice warriors and various other inhabitants of the far left end of the political spectrum. He’s successful, unrepentant for that, and has been willing in the past to exhibit publicly conservative leanings.
Oh, and he’s a white male who doesn’t wear Che Guevara T-shirts or quote from Mao’s “Little Red Book,” which these days makes the guy a target of opportunity.
The Armour Meathead columnist for USA Today, who has made it a cottage industry to disparage Brady for his acquaintanceship with Donald Trump, was forced in the aftermath of this latest Brady championship to acknowledge the guy had picked apart favored Kansas City, with apparent ease.
To appease her woke audience, Armour Meathead used a separate example of her verbal vomit to take shots at the NFL for not having enough coaches “of color.” That was her postgame social justice warrior meme of a column.
She apparently is the digital equivalent of the TV series “Have Gun-Will Travel,” only her motto is have laptop-will pontificate.
This is a good thing for her because the leftists are out to ban both guns and travel, which would leave a modern day Paladin unemployed and unable to enjoy the finer points of his existence in a San Francisco luxury hotel.
Armour Meathead is not alone in her crusade to diminish any success a white male from the political right might enjoy.
According to zerohedge.com, Twitter was aflame Sunday not with odes to the continuing greatness of Tom Brady, but rather attacks on him for being seen not wearing a mask as he entered the stadium.
One post relayed on zerohedge remarked how all Brady’s friends “seem to be white.”
Now there is a crime for you in 2021, being white, successful and having white friends.
Quick, get Nancy Pelosi on this. We need legislation to abolish such travesty.
But of course ignore that Saturday night in Washington, D.C., Pelosi’s home away from her $25,000 fridge stocked with overpriced ice cream home in San Francisco, Black Lives Matters crew members were marching through the city in a “Fxxx the police” rally replete with harassment of innocent bystanders and threats of “if we don’t get it, burn it down.”
I’m thinking “it” is not more coaches of color in the NFL.
Police on hand for this march mostly just watched. Probably they were on the lookout for some disgruntled Trump supporters to arrest for domestic terrorism.
These right-wing Trump fans ought to petition the lamestream media for the same treatment as the BLM crowd, that being to be labeled just a group of largely peaceful demonstrators whose threats and actual attacks on private and public property are conveniently lumped into the category of giving voice to the oppressed.
If you think our most recent presidential election was anything less than an outright oppression of Trump voters, you haven’t looked very closely at the facts.
This brings me back to Brady. If and when he is finished adding to his collection of Super Bowl rings, it strikes me that Brady would make a great candidate for high political office.
Unlike most of our political leaders, left and right, Brady has been forced to rise or fall on his own merits, competing in a meritocracy where deeds, not promises, are the currency of success.
How refreshing it would be to have such leadership on the political front.
And how amusing it would be to see the leftists drown in puddles of their tears should Brady be successful in politics, too.
