Magic Johnson is very vocal when it comes to sports, even more so when it comes to some of different league’s premier players. This time its Tom Brady.
Tom Brady hasn’t had to say much regarding his suspension, fans and critics alike have vouched for him; joining on Team Brady is Magic Johnson. Magic was in attendance at the Jeffery Osborne Celebrity Softball Game, where he voiced his support for the Patriots QB and went as far as to say he will not watch the Patriots until he plays.
“I’m a Tom Brady fan,” Johnson said, per WEEI. “I don’t want to see Tom Brady miss one game. Because then I’m not watching. I’m just telling you like it is, I want to see Tom Brady and the Patriots.”
“We’re all competitors,” Johnson said, per The Providence Journal. “We don’t want to see New England without Tom Brady. That’s what it’s about. I want to beat you with your best.”
“One thing that people have to realize is that players have to play,” Johnson said. “I don’t care about videos, balls, they don’t decide the game. It’s players who decide the games. I don’t care what anybody says. They went out there and won the game, point blank. They won the Super Bowl.”
Can we agree with Magic? Whats playing the Patriots without playing against their best? Will there be and asterisk by your win because “Brady didn’t play”? I don’t think the former will be the case but it does make games a tad easier to win. But if you’re going off of Bryant, “Offense sells tickets, defense wins games”.
