Apparently, New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady’s popularity has nothing to do with his six Super Bowl rings and his 14 Pro Bowl picks; it has everything to do with a resurgence of white supremacy, according to University of Rhode Island (URI) professor Kyle Kusz.
According to Campus Reform, English professor Kusz dedicated a whole chapter to Tom Brady’s whiteness in his recent book, “The Palgrave Handbook of Masculinity and Sport,” in which he alleged that the quarterback gained popularity due to the “latest wave of white rage and white supremacy” that developed during the Obama presidency, culminating in the election of President Trump. At one point, Kusz even goes so far to claim that a 2015 Under Armour commercial featuring Brady would have been straight out of a Leni Reifenstahl propaganda film. Campus Reform provided further details of this bizarre theory:
