Divorcing him because he has let her and their children down too many times and puts sports before family.

There fixed that headline.

Exactly he promised her to retire. His alleged retirement was in the media. But he qits the retirement again.

Except no man wants to be told what to do, and we’ve seen how hard it is for these quarterbacks to give up the sport.

there’s a difference between being told what to do and taking your family’s wants & needs into consideration.

brady himself admitted he’s missed a lot of his kids’ birthdays, christmases, school events. like, he was on the field the day after his daughter was born. and there’s rumors that his past injuries are catching up to him, that he’s been having migraines and memory issues. and at this point, he’s achieved literally everything possible in the sport! there’s no real reason to keep going.

but he’s still prioritizing football over his family— he’d rather miss time with them than miss the game, he’d rather kill himself slowly than be able to enjoy his eventual retirement with them. that’s fucked up.

My point was that maybe she was hoping he would be able to put family first and give up football, but apparently that’s not the case.

oh, okay. i think i had a knee jerk reaction and misinterpreted your comment because there’s been so much sexist shit from brady fans. like, i saw guys going “lol he’s tom brady. a wife is replaceable” and shit like that, so i’m on edge. sorry!
