Former quarterback and certified GOAT Tom Brady has called out the NFL for being too soft. The former star said the league is starting to become more like flag football, which will be in the Olympics in 2028. He thinks that the league will become a flag football league over time because they have been making all of these rule changes. NFL insider Dov Kleiman reported this via Twitter.

Tom Brady’s Comments
Brady stated, “Football is a physical sport, there’s a physical element to all of this, you throw a 15-yard flag for something that, you know, 20 years ago maybe wouldn’t have had a flag. That affects the game in a big way.” It’s a good thing Brady is no longer playing in the league, or else he would definitely be fined for his comments.
These comments are in reference to the amount of penalties and fines that are being handed out to players. There have been a huge amount of questionable fines this season and we are only in week seven! Fans and analysts alike believe that the league needs to re-evaluate some of its policies in order to keep the game enjoyable for everyone.
Will the League Make Changes?
The former New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback has had arguably the best NFL career ever. He amounted to 251 wins, 89,214 passing yards, 649 touchdowns, and seven Super Bowl championships. Now that he is no longer in the league, it looks like he is being a lot more vocal about his thoughts on certain policies the league has implemented.
Fans are starting to call the National Football League the “No Fun League” due to these questionable penalties and fines being handed out left and right. It will be interesting to see if the league changes any of its policies to be more favorable to their die-hard fans.
