Tom Brady swings the emotion both ways in the NFL world. His fans love him and his rivals hate him. That probably comes with the territory of being the greatest of all time in the sport. So sometimes even class acts can reek of ulterior motives.

Some fans are accusing Brady of trying to clean up his image. This comes after a silent philanthropic act came to light just after he retired from the NFL.

Is Tom Brady clearing up his image?

A quiet philanthropic act by NFL legend, Tom Brady came to light just after he announced his retirement from the NFL. Ashley Bragg Ryan, the wife of the Tampa Bay Buccaneers safety Logan Ryan, shared a story about Brady where she revealed that the newly retired QB quietly worked at an animal shelter in Tampa during the season and bonded with his kids. Ryan also shared a photo of where she was standing with her and Brady’s family. Here is the post and the story she shared as a tribute to the retiring legend.

A section of fans picked up the story with a handful of salt. Some fans think that the QB is trying to clean up his image after his divorce from supermodel Gisele Bündchen. They told Brady that he should have spent more time with his ex-wife. Here are fan comments from all over Instagram.
