It’s safe to say that the crowd at the Indianapolis 500 weren’t all too pleased to see Tom Brady this weekend. The former New England Patriots quarterback was met with a loud chorus of boos when making an appearance during a pre-race ceremony Sunday, which he seemed to take in stride. Despite the icy reception, Brady continued to wave and smile to the crowd, who were most likely Indianapolis Colts fans. The NFL team notably has a storied rivalry with the New England Patriots, particularly regarding a 2014 playoff game between the two which later became a national scandal widely known as “Deflategate.” At the time, Brady and the Patriots were accused of cheating by using deflated footballs. The former quarterback subsequently denied any wrongdoing, but was suspended for a few games following an investigation. The Patriots were also fined and docked draft picks. Brady was at the Indianapolis 500 Sunday to ride alongside race car driver Jimmie Johnson. The 47-year-old retired from the NFL in 2023 and is currently working as a sports commentator for Fox.
