Tom Brady spent 20 years with the New England Patriots, winning six Super Bowls and earning a statue outside Gillette Stadium last August. Now, as a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, he's facing backlash from some fans who feel he's turned his back on his old team. Earlier this week, Dave Portnoy, founder of Barstall Sports and a die-hard Patriot supporter, called for the statue to come down. He pointed to a patterner Brady distancing himself from the franchise since retiring. Fans have mixed feelings because Brady is still seen as the greatest player in team history. Many expected him to keep cheering for the Patriots, especially during big moments like the Super Bowl run. Recent reports highlight specific issues, like Brady saying he wasn't rooting for the Patriots in the Super Bowl, while former teammates were. He also skipped back in young quarterback Drake May for MVP, and reportedly blocked a trade sending Raiders Defender Max Crosby to new Patriots coach, Mike Ravel.
