Word on the street is the media is out for Tom Brady's skin. He is the closest thing to a Trump supporter in the NFL. The rest of the sports world is crying about Trumps ban. Combine the Trump hate with Patriot hate (all those white guys) and it's going to be along week for him.
Brady openly supported Trump several months before the Republican primary elections even began. It all started when he was "caught" with a MAGA hat in his locker...
Brady, Belichick, Kraft, and the rest of the squad are under immense pressure to win this game, particularly given Brady's 4-game suspension, the Trump connection, and the sickening and irrational hatred of the organization (which stems from their perennial success, alleged "cheating," and noticeable fairness to white players).

I'm very fearful that they'll lose to a very talented and hungry Falcons team, lead by the defensive-guru Dan Quinn, who gave the Patriot offense all it could handle as Seattle's DC during Superbowl 49 in 2015. If New England wins (with Brady and his 3 white WR's having a great game), it'll be yet another massive cultural victory for our side. All six of the Superbowl games in the Brady/Belichick era have been a "nail-biter," with 4 razor-thin victories and 2 last-second defeats. Thankfully, this isn't their first rodeo.
