STAR Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady has issued an apology for comparing his NFL season to “military deployment.”;
Brady, 45, made the comments while talking about work-life balance with NBA legend Kevin Durant on his show.
He said: “I almost look at a football season like going away on deployment in the military and it’s like, man, here I go again.”;
Veteran organizations were outraged by the quarterback’s remarks, and US Army veterans condemned him on social media.
Brady used his customary Thursday-afternoon press conference to express his regret to anyone who had been hurt.
He told reporters: “It was a very poor choice of words. I just want to express that [because] people may have taken that a certain way. I apologize.”;
This happens amid the rumors surrounding Brady and wife Gisele Bündchen’s relationship being in strain and the couple hiring divorce lawyers.
