Donald Trump Defends Tom Brady in Deflategate Scandal

New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady has found a new supporter in the Deflategate scandal: Republican presidential candidate Donald Trump.

Speaking to Fox Business Channel on Thursday, via SI.com, Trump said the NFL has gone out of its way to make Brady a fall guy:

I think it’s ridiculous the way they’ve treated [Brady]. He’s a friend of mine, he’s a great friend of mine, he’s a great guy, and I think it’s ridiculous the way they’ve treated him. To spend $10 million in legal fees, and now it’s probably higher than that, it’s crazy.
