Imagine if Michael Jordan retired today. The media would go crazy. Also no other NFL player compares to Brady in terms of popularity, no wonder media want to make money off of him just one more time.

I love my wife very much. But she knows I had certain passions before we ever met. She would never make me give them up. If she tried, I’d seriously question the relationship.
Why would a good partner try to take away your passions? Maybe they aren’t a good partner.

Except that's not what is going on. She gave up her career to have his kids and raise his family. Now it's his turn to do the same, and he said "nah, I'm too good for that, unlike you."
Honestly if you didn't realize that already, you must be pretty self centered to not see that she isn't the one who's being selfish, here.
It's always about how things are affecting you, huh? Never about how your actions affect others.
JeffFromSchool t1_j84i24e wrote
It doesn't take someone who knows them to know that she gave up modeling at basically the peak of her career to raise his kids, and now it's his turn to come home, and he wouldn't

I must be self centered… or I just don’t know anything about some football player and his familial relationships. I can see where it is very easy to confuse those things.
I am quite happily ignorant to Mr. Brady and his wife (ex wife?). If, he did in fact have his wife give up all sorts of stuff for him in an unbalanced then anything I said about questioning care for the partner can be obviously applied in both directions. Even after reading my previous post again I’m not sure why it would be taken as if it only went in favor of a single partner, but if it was taken that way it certainly wasn’t the intent.

As a lifelong Pats fan, that’s the number one thing Tom always represented to me - hope. He never gave up no matter how impossible things looked and he overcame the odds. He continues to inspire me in my own life when things seem are looking down or seem impossible.

Can’t prove that these are Pats fans, but based on these downvotes, they think Brady wants to retire as a Patriot. He does not.

the article says that he left because the patriots wouldn’t give him a multi year contract that would allow him to retire with the team. I’d imagine he feels slighted
