Apparently, New England Patriot’s quarterback Tom Brady’s popularity has nothing to do with his six Super Bowl rings and his 14 Pro Bowl picks; it has everything to do with a resurgence of white supremacy, according to University of Rhode Island (URI) professor Kyle Kusz.

At one point, Kusz even goes so far to claim that a 2015 Under Armour commercial featuring Brady would have been straight out of a Leni Reifenstahl propaganda film.
