Why do we keep questioning peoples looks? First, it's #lizzo. Now it's #TomBrady we live in a shallow society. Implications, assumptions, or even questions like this make me not wanna go outside. Let them be. https://t.co/n7OevnKK6T

We all have a life outside our career. Things happen, things need to be handled. He deserves time like everyone else. The man is amazing, I want to watch him play as long as I can.
