Tom Brady's newest endorsement deal is pretty hypocritical and it’s one you may not expect. Earlier this week, Brady signed an endorsement deal with Subway.
Known for his restrictive ‘TB12’ diet and attention to eating healthy, Subway would probably not be his food of choice. Yet, he has already shot an ad for the company, which is expected to air in about a month. Nevertheless, it will not feature him holding an actual Subway sandwich, according to Terry Lefton of the Sports Business Journal.
It get even worse as Brady appeared on Dax Shephard’s podcast, The Armchair Expert last September, he indicated that he could no longer stomach Subway.
“Over time, what I’ve noticed is that my taste buds change,” Brady said. “I went from, I loved Subway and Burger King and all those types of things, to now, it’s like, the thought of that is like no way! No way!”
There’s more of Brady ripping into companies like Subway.
“The way I see it, food companies are more like chemical companies than anything else,” Brady wrote in his book, The TB12 Method. “But we keep eating what they sell us and then wondering why the rates of disease and obesity are so high. Our bodies become toxic when we ingest toxic chemicals.”
Perhaps money was a bigger deal in Brady leaving New England if he’s stooped to this level of hypocrisy.
One final interesting fact is that in Ireland they have a sugar tax and Subway ‘bread’ was included in that bracket as it had so much sugar it was no longer classified as regular bread but a pastry or cake.
