Tom Brady backed by Jason Whitlock after calling young athletes ‘selfish’ as ​​columnist slams ‘entitled’ generation in latest bizarre rant: ‘They have a hole in their hearts’

Jason Whitlock has backed Tom Brady after the quarterback accused many young athletes of being “selfish”, with the controversial columnist insisting it was “negligence” and a difficult upbringing that fostered a sense of “entitlement “.

Before retiring last year, Brady won seven Super Bowls during one of the greatest careers in sports history.

He set several personal bests during his 23 seasons in the NFL, but recently insisted that “the purpose of life” is “how…you help others finish the race – not just yourself” .

The 46-year-old hit out at the new generation of athletes, saying: “The biggest problem with a lot of f***ing kids these days is that it’s all about them – about their brand, from their social networks.

Brady added: “And when it comes to me and not us, there’s no way we’re going to be successful as a team if all you do is think about how selfish it is of you to attract attention.”

“The biggest problem with a lot of fucking kids these days is that it’s all about them,” Brady said.

Whitlock offered a simple explanation for the disconnect between Brady and the next generation of players: their upbringing, which left many with “a hole in their hearts.”

“Part of the reason Tom Brady believes life and sports is about uplifting your teammates and everyone around you is because his needs as a child were met,” says the chronicler.

“He had two devoted parents, an upbringing that he probably thought was great and wonderful. What he’s looking at is a different generation of athletes whose needs haven’t been met.

“Either their families were torn apart, or their father or mother was not at home, or they were neglected, or even for both parents working (where) the children are actually the secondary side and earning income. money, sitting in a cubicle is the real thing”, No work 1.’

Whitlock claimed that “negligence” breeds a “sense of entitlement.”

Brady had a record-breaking career with the New England Patriots and Tampa Bay Buccaneers.

“When your mentality is ‘I’m owed something,’ you have to get more and more… whereas, because Tom Brady’s needs have been met, he’s like, ‘What can I do for everything?’ the world ? I’ll get more than enough.

The columnist admitted that Brady’s marriage to Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen – which ended in 2022 – gave the former quarterback an extra level of comfort. Its value is estimated at $400 million.

“That’s another part of the problem, but I think he’s looking at a generation of athletes from non-traditional upbringings,” Whitlock continued.

“And this doesn’t just apply to divorced parents or parents who have never been married, but even parents who are together and just don’t prioritize their children’s development like previous generations do. So this generation is more selfish because they have a hole in their heart.
