Joe Biden’s policies are damaging the country.
They’re even affecting the professional sports world.
Now Tom Brady got some terrible news that had Biden smiling.
Tampa Bay Buccaneers quarterback Tom Brady won his seventh Super Bowl last season, but his bid to win another one got more difficult thanks to Joe Biden and the COVID regime.
NFL players were forced to get the COVID vaccine or undergo daily testing and other restrictions.
And two of Brady’s teammates—wide receiver Antonio Brown and safety Mike Edwards—were suspended three games for using fake vaccine cards.
From Sports Illustrated:
The NFL has suspended Buccaneers wide receiver Antonio Brown, safety Mike Edwards and former Bucs defensive back John Franklin III after an investigation into allegations that the three “misrepresented their vaccine status under the NFL-NFLPA COVID-19 Protocols”…
Last month, Antonio Brown was accused by a former live-in chef of obtaining a fake vaccination card in an apparent attempt to duck the NFL’s vaccine protocols.
Sean Burstyn, a lawyer representing Brown, said in a statement that Brown is vaccinated and “continues to support the vaccine for any person for whom it is appropriate.”
There were rumors prior to the season that many players had procured fake vaccination cards to get around the draconian rules, so Brown and Edwards likely are not alone.
The NFL said in a statement:
“Tampa Bay’s Antonio Brown and Mike Edwards have each been suspended without pay for the next three games…Free agent John Franklin III, if signed by a club, is also ineligible to play in the next three games. All three players have accepted the discipline and waived their right of appeal. The suspensions are effective immediately.”
The Buccaneers also put out a brief statement acknowledging the ordeal, which they want to put behind them as soon as possible in order to make a playoff run.

Brown initially denied the claims made by his live-in chef, but he chose to accept punishment and move on instead of fighting what likely would have been a losing battle.
Sports Illustrated continued:
It is unclear if Brown faces further legal troubles based on this. The FBI says that using a fake COVID-19 vaccine card is “unauthorized use of a government agency’s seal” and a violation of federal law.
The Buccaneers currently have the third seed in the NFC playoffs, but only the top seed gets the coveted first-round bye.
If Tampa Bay wants the number one seed, the margin for error is slim.
Losing key starters down the stretch would mean they have to go the harder road and play an extra game.
Nevertheless, this is the type of enforcement that the COVID regime wants.
