Recently, a growing wave of backlash against Tom Brady has emerged within the New England Patriots fanbase, particularly with many calling for the removal of his statue at Gillette Stadium. The controversy stems from recent actions by the former Patriots quarterback, notably during the Super Bowl, when Brady refused to support his former team.   Many Patriots fans feel that Brady has "ignored" them and no longer supports the team that helped him win 6 Super Bowls. They believe that Brady no longer has any affection for the team and wants to erase any trace of himself from what was once his home. Recently, after Las Vegas Raiders decided not to let Maxx Crosby join the Patriots, fans further speculated that this move was due to interference from Brady, who is now a minority owner of the Raiders. While Brady explained that he didn't want to root against his new coach Klint Kubiak, Patriots fans expressed their disappointment and continued to call for the removal of his statue, despite Brady's six Super Bowl victories with New England.
