Tom Brady has lent his name, voice and stature when players have had problems with the NFL in the past. In 2011, the Patriots’ quarterback was one of 10 players who sued the NFL in federal court in an antitrust lawsuit seeking to prevent a trial.
And now one of Brady’s brothers in the NFL is asking the Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback to straighten up.

Browns wide receiver Jarvis Landry tweeted to Brady Thursday night, imploring the future Hall of Fame to step up and lend his voice when calling with the NFL.
@TomBrady The leagues need your voice right now. We need our leaders for these calls with the NFL. Ask yourself as an athlete, as a brother, as one of the most respected players of all time … We need to hear from you # Hi # Unit

Although Landry did not specify what he was asking Brady to talk about, the NFL and the NFL Players Association have discussed a litany of issues regarding the upcoming 2020 season, in just two months.
A variety of medical issues and testing protocols for the coronavirus pandemic have yet to be resolved, and the league’s ban on jersey swapping after the game was widely criticized by players on Thursday.
Tom E. Curran of NBC Sports Boston has even suggested that the league should postpone the season for a month while it takes care of its business, but for now Landry wants one of the most prominent players in the game. league helps out in the process.
He explained why he specifically called Brady in a response to a tweet criticizing him for his original message. (Warning: NSFW language below.)
This game has an impact on us are not just a small group of people or team. It’s not about calling Tom Brady, but our union needs guys of his stature to be part of these conversations, just like they’re outside the games you enjoy watching on Sunday. Repugnant? Lol

Whether Brady lends his voice or not, the time to understand all the obstacles to a 2020 season is running out quickly. Recruits must report to training camps one week from Sunday.
