Former NFL quarterback Tom Brady recently took part in the Netflix roast, The Roast of Tom Brady, where he was on the receiving end of a number of jokes from former teammates and comedians. But since then, he has expressed regret about taking part in the event. And one UFC fighter is not all that pleased about Brady’s regret after the fact.
Brady shared that he would not take part in this kind of event again due to how some of the jokes, specifically about his ex-wife Gisele Bundchen, affected his kids.
Former UFC middleweight champion Sean Strickland, who has a fight scheduled on Saturday at UFC 302 against Paulo Costa, took exception to how Brady has handled the situation after the fact, going on an expletive-filled rant against the future Hall of Fame quarterback.
“Ah man, Tom Brady was a c***,” said Strickland via Happy Punch on X, formerly known as Twitter. “He got mad and said ‘Don’t talk about my wife like that’. Listen you f****** p****, you signed up to be made fun of. You can’t handle that? Don’t f****** do it. Me, I don’t know if I could handle that. But yeah, he handled that like a f****** woman. You act like a f****** girl, you pet goats, you post gay f****** photos. Man the f*** up. Nobody thinks you are tough Tom Brady. You are making fun of a f****** comedian, you f****** p****.”
Strickland obviously went a bit overboard here in his assessment of Brady… But his point that Brady couldn’t handle the roast in some ways is somewhat valid.
If you sign up to be the recipient of a roast, you have to understand that some feelings may get hurt in the process. And it seems like Brady wasn’t all that thrilled with how things turned out once it was over.
