News Employee Fired For Graphic Describing Tom Brady As A ‘Known Cheater’

Tom Brady wins a lot. I know this. You know this. The universe knows this. I know it’s fun to hate on him, but I honestly don’t understand the people who hate him with a FURY. When it comes to football players, he’s a nice guy. There’s no shortage of douchelords, ego maniacs and thugs, but Brady seems like a legitimately nice person. Everyone who has worked with him the past has nothing but good things to say about him.

Also, watch this:

I was actually irritated that his answer wasn’t meaner, TBH. (But everyone knows the haters fuel his hate-fire. They make him better. Need a quick TD? Call him old.)

ANYWAY. Super Bowl Sunday is right around the corner. It’s Brady’s 2,043rd Super Bowl (just ballparking it). Because of that, Brady-related stuff has been all over the news. Even this:

That aired on a Pittsburgh CBS affiliate. (DO NOT GET ME STARTED ON DEFLATEGATE.)

The person responsible has been fired.

While fans are entitled to have personal opinions, we have a journalistic responsibility to provide unbiased reporting,” KDKA told SI.com in a statement. “The graphic that appeared Monday violated our news standards. The individual who created the graphic no longer works for KDKA-TV.”

That person must’ve been planning on quitting, because there’s NO WAY you could expect to pull a stunt like that with no consequences.

Like Brady said, guess we gotta love the haters!
