""I love football. At its core it is a game of principles. And with all the success it has given me, I feel I have a moral and ethical duty to the sport; which is why the point where my roles in it intersect is not actually a point of conflict, despite what the paranoid and distrustful might believe. Rather, it's the place from which my ethical duty emerges: to grow, evolve, and improve the game that has given me everything,""
"As a broadcaster, Brady gets access to other teams' players and coaches that other owners do not have. This has raised concerns about a conflict of interest. That was amplified during a Week 2 "Monday Night Football" ESPN's broadcast showed Brady in the Raiders' booth wearing a headset during the first quarter of Las Vegas' 20-9 loss to the Los Angeles Chargers."
"The NFL, however, said in a statement the next day that Brady didn't violate rules. The NFL said Brady is "prohibited from going to a team facility for practices or production meetings." But the former star quarterback is allowed to sit in the coaches' booth, according to the league. After his 23-year playing career during which he won seven Super Bowls, Brady made his Fox debut last season on a 10-year, $375 million contract that he originally agreed to in 2022."
Tom Brady rejects claims that his roles as a Las Vegas Raiders minority owner and a Fox Sports broadcaster create a conflict of interest. He frames the intersection of those roles as the source of an ethical duty to grow, evolve, and improve football. As a broadcaster he gains access to other teams' players and coaches, which has raised concerns, highlighted when he appeared in the Raiders' booth during a Week 2 broadcast. The NFL said he did not violate rules, prohibits facility access for practices or production meetings, but allows booth access and has relaxed some restrictions. Brady signed a 10-year, $375 million Fox contract and his Raiders part-ownership was approved last October.
