Tom Brady definitely should be allowed to play football. We spent the better part of eight months hashing that out and I think we can all agree, it's probably OK to let Tom Brady play football. He's probably cheating, and his coach is probably cheating, but at least if they keep playing, there will be more opportunities to catch them. What Tom Brady should not be allowed to do is vote in the presidential election, or any other election for that matter.

This is the equivalent of writing on your gun license application, "I am a crazy person and believe bullets provide life-sustaining properties when shot into flesh." Hopefully—hopefully—a person writing such a thing on an application for a license to own and use a gun would immediately be put on the NO GUNS list for the rest of his or her life. Same goes for Brady volunteering this information about his hopes and dreams for the American presidency. "I hope so." "That would be great." These are statements about United States presidential candidate Donald Trump. This is an intellectual felony, and Tom Brady should lose his right to vote until he is able to demonstrate to an official that he is capable of showing the proper respect for the voting process.That official cannot be named Richard Berman. Actually, no one in the Southern District of New York should be involved. Massachusetts is probably out, too. Just take it straight to Obama.h/t FTWBrady asked if Trump can win election. "I hope so. That would be great. There'd be a putting green on the White House lawn, Im sure of that"
