Tom Brady's popularity tied to rise in 'white rage and white supremacy,' professor says Login/Join

Another day, another imbecile. Dividing America one piece at a time.



It’s not the six Super Bowls.

It’s not the three MVP awards.

It’s not the three All-Pro selections.

And it’s definitely not the 14 Pro Bowl selections.

The real reason why Tom Brady is popular is because, you guessed it, white supremacy.

Kyle Kusz, a kinesiology professor at the University of Rhode Island, published a book this month titled “Making American White Men Great Again: Tom Brady, Donald Trump, and the Allure of White Male Omnipotence in Post-Obama America." He theorized that Brady became popular due to the rise of “white rage and white supremacy,” according to Campus Reform.

Brady’s relationship with the media and President Trump is analyzed in the book, according to Campus Reform. The professor highlights a 2015 Under Armour commercial which depicts thousands of Tom Bradys working out and tells the audience to “Rule Yourself.” Kusz says the commercial “would not seem out of place in Leni Reifenstahl’s infamous Nazi propaganda film, ‘Triumph des willens.’”

Kusz told Campus Reform it was the specific commercial from 2015 which drove him to analyze Brady further.

“I decided to research Trump and Brady's public performances of their white masculinities and how they connect with broader debates about race and gender politics after a student in one of my classes brought the Under Armour commercial to my attention and it piqued my interest,” he said.

Kusz also hammers home the point of who Brady surrounds himself with outside football, specifically with who he takes to the Kentucky Derby with each year. He told the website that because he brings mostly white teammates with him to the event it “tells a more particular story about the racial company he chooses to keep.”

“It is a vision of Brady as a wealthy, white man who unapologetically enjoys, and has even made a habit out of, spending time with other wealthy white men who treasure time ‘with the boys’ over all others,” he said. Going to the Derby, Kusz added, “suggests his performance of white masculinity shares much in common with President Trump’s” because most of the Derby’s attendees include elite white people.

The professor, a New York native who received a doctorate from the University of Illinois at Urbana-Champaign, also cites Brady’s failure to denounce Trump and his intense diet as evidence of how his "white masculinity is repeatedly constructed."

The professor has too much time on his hands. Get a real job professor, you’ll be too busy to worry about whitey.

It constantly astounds me that these white snowflakes have a hatred of white people. How can they look at themselves in the mirror is a mystery to me. It is truly baffling.

Because Tom Brady only became popular after Trump's election??

A guy who won his first Super Bowl during...the Bush administration. And has been active as his team's face for nearly two decades.

Nope, clearly has nothing to do with his popularity.

The majority of Brady's coworkers are wealthy black guys. Because Brady is the leader of the team, is he considered a plantation owner too?

He's a professor of kinesiology. Which really means he's a nothing more than a layman hack on the subject of his book. That translates to STFU in my new book about people who talk out their asses on subjects which either aren't real, or about which they know nothing.

Yup, irrefutable evidence he's a racist. . . Roll Eyes

So it's Brady's fault black people don't like horse racing?. . . Roll Eyes Roll Eyes

But when minorities hang out exclusively with other minorities it is just their 'culture,' and we MUST applaud them for it. The truly sad thing about all this is the idiots who will lap this up and believe 100% of it without question.


I also found it interesting that another piece of 'proof' of Brady's "racism" is his failure to denounce President Trump. So, failing to condemn our presodent = racism. You cannot make this stuff up.

Kids have a website that allows them to rate their professors. This guy is rated 3/10. Not too good and the comments are even worse.

Over the years I've noticed the opposite side of the coin, do blacks hate Brady more than whites love him? I've seen an attitude exemplified best by ESPN's Mike Wilbon who spits out "Yo golden boy" when speaking of Brady.

I thought his popularity was due to scoring the ultimate trophy wife:
- hot super model
- she tons of money -- maybe even more than Tom

Where do I sign up for that gig?

Anyone remember deflategate? An obvious attempt to steal a victory from the other team's black players! Straight out of the Nazi playbook!

Just more evidence how worthless college is at this point. And what the hell is someone with a "kinesiology" focus (i.e. the study of the mechanics of body movements) qualified in any way to comment on this topic?

What do you want to bet this is based on resentment stemming from jealousy? Hey, I can't play football either, but I don't resent the guy (Brady) for it.

Can somebody explain to me how underinflating a football is cheating? The other team handles the same ball. Why don't they say anything, unless it's to their advantage also?
