Tom Brady Offers a Counterpoint to Paris Mayor’s X Exit, Rejecting ‘Gigantic Global Sewer’ Term

Twitter/X has emerged as a go-to platform for exchanging information, but there’s a downside to it as well. Paris’ mayor, Anne Hidalgo, expressed her disgust over the platform, calling it a “gigantic global sewer.” She has cited many reasons for her comments, accusing the platform of manipulation, disinformation, antisemitism and attacks on scientists, climatologists, women and liberals. NFL GOAT Tom Brady has his opinions to share about the incident as well. 

While Tom Brady may be considered one of the greatest NFL players of all time, he’s not without his share of criticism. But the star knows better than to dwell in negativity when you can change your perceptions. 

Tom Brady suggests developing immunity to social media criticism

Regarding Paris’ Mayor Anne Hidalgo leaving Twitter, Tom Brady states his opinion about uninformed opinions on social media in a recent episode on the Let’s Go podcast. He states that social media can be very misleading because the truth can be covered with factual errors. He states, “It’s way easier to burn things down than to build things up.”

While negative comments can drag a person down, Tom Brady said, “I think we’re just going to have to get immune to it to a degree.” And he is right when he said that everybody’s got their own voice and we just need to decide what matters and what doesn’t. He recently faced criticism when he said the following on The Stephen A. Smith Show, “I think there’s a lot of mediocrity in today’s NFL. I don’t see the excellence that I saw in the past.” To this, Alex Smith retorted, “He played in the most uncompetitive division, I think, in NFL history.“

Anne Hidalgo slams Twitter as a gigantic global sewer

Recently, hot news surfaced when Anne Hidalgo, the mayor of Paris, declared that she’s leaving Twitter for good after calling it a “gigantic global sewer.” According to her, the platform is “destroying our democracies” by spreading misinformation and abuse. The unrest broke out when Hidalgo’s campaign to turn Paris into a cycling capital met with mixed responses on social media with people criticizing her endless effort and bland worksites.

Anne Hidalgo’s decision to quit Twitter came on Monday where she cites antisemitism and manipulation of women, scientists, and liberals as some of the reasons why it is degrading. She said that Twitter “intentionally exacerbates tensions and conflicts” and further stated, “I refuse to endorse this evil scheme.”

Just as Tom Brady has put it, there are going to be criticisms circulating on social media no matter how great a person is. But hopefully, Twitter will take some action to curb misinformation and slander that could destroy a person’s image and reputation.
