Tom Brady Says he Supports his Friends, including Donald Trump

Even though people know Tom Brady for his football skills, every one is curious about whether or not he will endorse Republican candidate, Donald Trump, who is his friend.

In regards to Trump, the New England Patriots quarterback said on WEEI's "The Dennis and Callahan Show," "Donald is a good friend of mine. I have known him for a long time. I support all my friends. That is what I have to say. He's a good friend of mine. He's always been so supportive of me - for the last 15 years, since I judged a beauty pageant for him, which was one of the very first things that I did that thought was really cool. That came along with winning the Super Bowl. He's always invited me to play golf. I've always enjoyed his company.

Brady added, even though he stated that he does not want to be a part of the debate about the presidential run, "I support all my friends in everything they do. I think it's pretty remarkable what he's achieved in his life. You're going from business, kind of an incredible businessman and then a TV star, and then getting into politics. It's three different career paths. I think that is pretty remarkable."

Brady, however, did not directly answer whether or not his support means an endorsement. Trump, however, has said to The Washington Post that he believes his numbers at high in Massachusetts because of the star.

"In Massachusetts, I'm at 48 percent," Trump said. "You know why? Tom Brady said Trump's the greatest. He says it to anyone who asks him. You know, it's hard for a guy like him to say that. When you're a football player, you don't want to be taking sides in campaigns and having the Hillary [Clinton] people now say you're not as good as Bart Starr. You understand. So Tom Brady is great."

Several other well-known athletes have taken a different perspective on Trump. Boxing champion Muhammad Ali and basketball hall of famer Kareem Abdul-Jabbar spoke out against Trump after his proposal on banning Muslims from entering the U.S. Both athletes practice Islam.

According to a new poll, the presidential hopeful has reached 41 percent support and is currently still in the lead despite his comments about a ban. The poll factored in registered voters who are Republican or leaning toward the Republican ballot.
