Social Media Reactions
Across social media platforms, fans were quick to express their disappointment with Brady, and weren't afraid to tell him so. "How much money does one person need in a lifetime?" one person questioned.
"When Tom Brady pivots from football to the business of GLP-1s, you know the weight-loss industry is hitting a whole new level of mainstream," another user pointed out.
"Are GLP-1s a part of his playability and night shade diet?" asked a third person. "Is this off strategy?"
"Wasn't he all about good food and wellness?" agreed another.
"That's sad," another said. "He obviously doesn't have a weight or diabetes problem...so he's just doing it for the money."
"This is everything wrong with the US," a final fan said. "A metabolically healthy, professional athlete who lives a completely non-toxic lifestyle is now being paid by big pharma to promote GLP’s."
