Tom Brady denies any conflict of interest

NFL legend Tom Brady continues to be in the news, this time because of his dual role: minority co-owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and analyst for FOX Sports.

Some observers fear a conflict of interest, not least because his status as a broadcaster gives him access to inside information on other teams.

In his weekly Do Your Jobnewsletter, Brady brushed aside these concerns, believing that only “the paranoid and suspicious” see this as a problem.

For him, his passion for football is first and foremost guided by principles.

“With everything this sport has given me, I have a moral and ethical duty to it,” he wrote.

Brady therefore believes that his two roles do not overlap in any problematic way, but are part of the same mission: to help football evolve and grow.

Controversy amplified by his presence on the sidelines

Suspicions were heightened when he was spotted with a headset in the coaches' area during the Raiders' game against the Chargers in Week 2.

Some saw this as an excess of proximity between his role as owner and that of analyst.

The NFL quickly put an end to the controversy, confirming that Brady had not broken any rules. For Brady, the confusion stems more from a general climate of mistrust than from any real ethical dilemma.

“When mistrust prevails, all we see is self-interest,” he wrote.

Brady insists: his goal is to continue promoting the game that shaped his career, without betraying either his values or the league's rules.
