On February 7, 2021 Tom Brady extended his record for most Super Bowl wins by a player with his seventh and extended his record for Super Bowl MVP awards, with five.

Brady is the NFL’s oldest player to be named Super Bowl MVP (age 43), win a Super Bowl as the starting quarterback (age 43), and be named league MVP (age 40).

But I guess quitting and letting your team and country down makes one more qualified for athlete of the year.

I’m surprised- i thought for sure they would’ve given it to the dude from New Zealand who believes he’s a she and competed in women’s weightlifting at the Olympics, only to get crushed.

Of course I’m sure Sports Illustrated will jump at this opportunity.

Us has lost their way when it comes to rewards, twisted minds create twisted people being rewarded for stupid reasons.

Didn’t Bruce Jenner get some sort of reward for coming out transgender back in that day.

Someone probably already posted this, but I'm in a hurry ... She worked really hard on that accomplishment.

While I have no problem with athletes choosing not to go to the Olympics, and there are worthy reasons not to go, however it seems our present culture doesn't reward real accomplishment. Isn't there some athlete that had some amazing accomplishment this year and shouldn't his excellence be rewarded. Excellence, hmmm, that's a problem. They don't recognize American excellence any longer no matter what the endeavor.

Quite honestly Biles should go over there and kick some commie ass. Perhaps she's not up to it any longer.

Everybody needs to turn down their sensitivity meters.

Very telling when schools removed monkey bars for fear of injury.

That was the whole point....be careful or you’d bust your azz.....a life lesson that has served me well my whole life.

The reason, no doubt, is because she came out as a pro-abort. It's a shame because she really was such a shining light. Now, she's becoming Greta Thunberg.

The lesson is this: never hold up an immature person as a role model of any kind.

Thank heavens Vince Lombardi, Herb Brooks and Junior Johnson aren’t alive to see this.
