NFL icon Tom Brady’s slap on internet superstar Logan Paul in a Fanatics Fest went viral for the wrong reasons.
On Friday, Brady was present at the star-studded Fanatics Fest at the Javits Center in New York. But he and Paul quickly grabbed headlines afterthe legendary quarterback slapped the online personality in a face-off.
The seven-time Super Bowl winner shared the post on his official X account and left a one-word reaction to the WWE star.
“Dork,” he captioned.
Fans quickly reacted and replied to his post, saying he should stay away from Paul’s antics.
“You’re better than this man. You won a Super Bowl with the Tampa Bay buccaneers. Knock it the [explicit] off,”a fan said.
“I can’t imagine being worth a billion dollars and still being a [explicit] to degrade yourself to doing content with a outright con artist like Logan Paul.. whatever they paid you has to be rounding error for you. Seriously, why?”a user pointed out.
“This is the fakest one I’ve seen,”read a comment.
“Love you Tom, but this Logan Paul stuff is beneath you. Your name means something, you don’t need to be doing bits with someone whose whole brand is built on rigged boxing matches and a crypto rug pull. Choose your collabs better,”another user added.
“No need for these scripted moments Tom! There’s so many better things to be doing!,”another fan stated.
“Surely you have enough money to not get involved in this nonsense,”argued another user.

Logan Paul’s known publicity stunts can tarnish the legendary NFL career of Tom Brady
Paul has been known to create publicity stunts with other sports superstars, be itsetting up a boxing exhibition match against them or collaborating for a brand deal.
This latest move by Brady received mostly negative reactions from fans. They even accused it of being another theatrical act, obviously scripted.

But the two were flapping their gums at each other, with Paul claiming he could compete in the NFL with his pure athleticism. Brady strongly disagreed with his take.
If this turns out to be part of Paul’s shenanigans and he was able to lure Brady into participating, it would potentially cast a negative light on the NFL legend’s publiuc image.
