He should give it back.

Cheater.

Still cheating I see

If the coronavirus vitamins weren’t enough to sway me this 100% confirms he’s a trash human. He may be the GOAT QB but he’s a shit human who steals from those in need.

This is just disgusting.... while good honest people lose their business- celebrities and millions are stealing. Just horrible.

GIVE IT BACK

They are sooooooo rich!

These are the true looters!!!

See, this is what makes us everyday folks furious. I don’t watch sports but wish I could boycott them. This is why they didn’t want us to know.

Cheaters gonna cheat. Give the money back, thief.

Disgusting

He should be embarrassed, and give it back. TomBrady

TrumpNaziTomBrady

TomBrady No wonder you adore Trump so much. 💰

Ends in a pick 6

Thing about all these wealthy folks getting government $$$ is, they ALL have more than enough access to other avenues of capital, credit lines & loans. Unlike most small businesses. Not a good look.

Brady has a track record of cheating.

Hsewvs_n_pols Disgusting!

Not only did they ruin every facet of this country, but they robbed us blind while doing so.

Everything Trump touches dies including my life long respect for the GOAT.

Republicans always take exceptional care of the extremely wealthy, with taxpayer money. While they let everyone else suffer....

Worry more about things eternal TimTebow

TomBrady GIVE 👏 THE👏 MONEY👏 BACK People are dying.

PigsAtTheTrough

The irony of taking trillions of debt to give it to spoil celebrities is beyond belief

The 1% did well again. I guess that tax break money went fast

They have no conscience and no moral compass.

Is this what you had in mind RepJohnKatko ? NY24 Good thing there some accountability built in to the plan.

As if Brady needs the money....

Just what Tom Brady needs more money. This is unbelievable. Children at border remain in cages separated from their parents and Trump and his administration give away money to the elite.

TomBrady dude WTF

What the actual hell? TomBrady needs to return this money ASAP!!!

HoarseWisperer So basically the PPP money went to supporters and not to small businesses. How Republican.

Again the rich get richer and the poor got $1200

😡

Been looking bad G.O.A.T. since Cam came to town we still love you though

IndKingCountyWA Appalling!!!! They Better Give it Back!!! This is his Oversight?!?!?

WHY?

again I knew to big companies with lawyers would get the free money and the small companies eould be left behind another big check mark for the Democrats

You’ve got to be kidding! How is always ok that the people most in need NEVER get the help they need but the richest people do? Give the money back or to a small business that needs it. How do some people sleep at night?

Unbelievable! If Tom Brady was truly a decent human being he would have donated that money and more to those who truly need it! Makes me sick!

Cheating is on his resume.

Shame on these people. My little hair salon was closed by a Mandatory order for 10 weeks. We waited over 6 weeks for any of the stimulus unemployment money. Humanity at its best TomBrady !

TB12sports Scumbag

WTF

Oh look, just another rich, white guy taking government assistance. welfareking

TomBrady Give It Back. It’s shocking you accepted it. Greedy much?

Fucking rats 🐀

Yet another reason to hope this ahole loses every game he plays. As if a multi-millionaire needs a bailout. BradySucks

Its seems strange and fraudulent how so many trump nazis got big fat payouts

TomBradySucks WorstPeople TaxpayersRippedOFFAgain

Hey! People, don’t you know Covid deflates performance as in TB Performance?

TomBrady return the money man, do the right thing

Tom Terrific gives back PPP loans in 3...2...1...

Poor guys out of work...Leave Tom ALONE!!!

Another fraud. Bill belicheck taught him well. This is why he backs the criminal potus. Because brady is a cheater also

What a grotesque scam.

ocmominthesouth Brady is a great football player but, a shitty human being. It’s important to never confuse the two (refer to OJ Simpson & many others in ALL sports) I’m glad Brady is out of New England. I hope he crashes and burns at end of career.

Well, this is deflating.....

Absolutely disgusting. Conservatively, 350 Americans could have received $1200 checks. 350 Americans could have paid rent. But instead, gov’t decides this “small business” needed the money. Buccaneers NFL TomBrady

HoarseWisperer This is a tough call. If I was the boss (Tom) would I be 1)altruistic and support a $ losing side business out of pocket or 2)shrewd business person and apply for ppp loan if I qualify for it? Not easy choice - it’s really not

Unreal,absolute greed.

Don’t hate the player. Hate the game

ActionJackTwt Is PPP just the “Personal Pals of the President” program?

TomShady

HoarseWisperer

HoarseWisperer Well, Brady does have a company who the Patriots funneled money through to him. He was on a salary cap, so that was the Patriots way of paying him more, legally, I guess.

HoarseWisperer Not only does Tb cheat on the field. He cheats in business. Wow. Scumbag.

tombradycheats

I’ve always said greed & hate would destroy this country and here we are.

HoarseWisperer he is not my quarterback anymore, he is TB's

SRMillar3 JC

Tom Brady is just another Trump supporting Republican con artist.

DONE w him. DO NOT glorify this GOPLOOTER

Bullshit!!!!! Brady is a crook and a cheater just like trump!

Wtf?

What?

HoarseWisperer trump unleashed

HoarseWisperer Oh ffs

HoarseWisperer red MAGA hat rocking masshole TomBrady.

People we all can complain and get mad all we want, but if you don’t vote Donald out in November NOTHING is going to change.

HoarseWisperer Of course.

HoarseWisperer And Trump’s base continues to support him. 🙄

Tom?

HoarseWisperer Of course. He’s buddies with Trump.

HoarseWisperer He's a big Trump supporter though he keeps it on the low down. 🙄

What the Fuck!

HoarseWisperer If you didn't need more reason to view Brady as a toad... bradytheboner

LOL. It pays to support Trump.

HoarseWisperer So?

HoarseWisperer Jesus it never ends .. does it?

1nonlyJMO We were just talking about this a couple of days ago. This is nuts. They literally gave all the money to their friends and family leaving business owners with nothing

Give it back TomBrady

Once a cheat, always a cheat

He's Thumpers friend

Sigh .... So did ANY REAL American SMALL business get a loan? Seems the already wealthy took all the funds ... Like what about Main St America

Mean time Hard working American are nervous about July 31 cancellation of the extra $600 a week

Fucking joke.

Nick Foles would never do something like that.

And I got not nothing, no stimulus, and will likely owe more money when I file next week.

This is unfuckingbelievable, seriously how much money does one need! Such greed is disgraceful, I find this absolutely appalling, when we have homeless people and folks that are below the poverty level with children that are hungry, don’t you millionaires, have enough?

Give it back

He’s a bigger dick than I originally thought.

stoolpresidente

And was eligible to receive it, if anything be mad at congress who wrote the law. And u sound like a bunch of teen girls tattling on everyone. At the time no one knew if capital markets would freeze up so everyone grabbed for liquidity, get over it. Lil girls

Tom Brady shame on you for asking and getting PPP fund? Give funds back for real owners of small businesses can use it. You are a frusd😱‼️. NFL Tom Brady can’t be a face for football😱‼️

Never ceases to amaze me the dopeiness of people on here. It’s a company that probably had lots of employees that are not working. Has nothing to do with Brady’s personal net worth - would be illegal if he “paid” them from his personal bank account

Didn't need to show need so greed reigned

White privilege

You can either do something fast or you can do it right In March and April The government chose to do it fast. I think they were right. If that means some rich people got money they didn’t need them so be it. That can be corrected with REAL tax reform

What the actual fuck?

You know that TomBrady does the old wink-and-nod at the golf course when someone says 'liberals just want free stuff.' PPP PPPloans PPPFraud GOPTaxScam

GIVE PPP MONEY BACK TomBrady SHAME ON YOU

What is a few million dollars among friends?

So that’s what Giselle meant when she said, “We’re all in this together.”

TB12sports bad look

Companies and their owners are distinct entities. Please don’t tell me even doesn’t understand this. Why do you feel compelled to report this like a sex scandal?

Yeah, cause he and his wife are really struggling... The swamp is overflowing...

Meanwhile, thousands are still waiting for their unemployment assistants to be approved

Patriots is a racist name, we should change it woke JoeBiden2020

why?

Once a cheater......

So?

WTAF I’m reeling from the grift! So many Americans who wonder how they’ll pay rent and these rich assholes continue to receive $$ first. VOTE BLUE. This has to STOP.

Did every LLC, Inc, Corp, LLP, etc. applied for the PPP loans!?!?! PPPFraud

They are worth hundreds of millions - while my little company goes under. This makes me sick to my stomach. We run a camp registration company and got a measly $1000 to keep it afloat! Obviously not much camp business during covid!!

paycheck program means he can keep his workers. would you keep paying for a new vacation and not go Just because Tom Brady could pay them to do nothing doesn't mean he should. Money is to drive means, charity is nice. But means grows country wealth.

Not surprised. He cheats in football hes not likely to be above cheating the government too

Florida Democratic Party took some of the money, too. But they gave it back recently because the Media wants to now focus on corporations that took the money, regardless of eligibility, and try to make them into the bad guys. How DARE this company get back some of its taxes!

1. He’s Trumps Boy. 2. Let’s all be real here - his wife makes the REAL Money. She’s worth $100 Million.

So what. So did Jim Cramer, and Josh Brown!

stoolpresidente

Good! small businesses should take advantage of a forgiveable loan with a 0.5% interest rate to keep people employed

Why should this surprise us that TomBrady would do this for TB12sports 🙄😒

Reminds me of Trump declaring bankruptcies.

Un fucking real

If their employees got paid who cares......Last time I checked it was the governments who closed people's businesses
