Why do people hate Tom Brady? Tom Brady reads mean tweets on Jimmy Kimmel Live 

Tom Brady and Jimmy Kimmel got together on Thursday for the latter's show Jimmy Kimmel Live. The show had a two-minute segment where the 43-year-old quarterback read mean tweets by netizens online ahead of his Super Bowl 2021 clash against Kansas City Chiefs. And while Brady has had a massive fan following over the years, he has his fair share of criticism and hatred from rival fans. On the segment, there were particularly unsavoury comments, with one user commenting that Brady gets too depressed to make love with his supermodel wife in their mansion.

Brady maintained his cool and said that he had no comment for it and tackled particularly more mean comments seamlessly. The Bucs superstar was also self-deprecating, saying it's 'kinda true' that he doesn't know how to use a wrench. Some of the criticism lobbed at Brady failed to make a clear, concise point. 

One critic wished for the former New England Patriots star to be hurt while acknowledging that he didn't really deserve such a punishment. However, Brady's patience ran out after the final contributor on the segment hoped for his dog to eat chocolate and get really sick and throws up on his socks. The 43-year-old was visibly astonished and said, 'That's f***ed up'.
