Tom Brady has millions of fans from every corner of the world. Very few can match the stardom that Brady has amassed over the years. But the latest fan to join the Brady train is the controversial chef who earned the outrage of the sports world after being spurned by none other than the GOAT of soccer, Lionel Messi.

While Brady might have solidified himself as the GOAT of football, Lionel Messi’s arrival at Inter Miami has turned the spotlight of the world onto one of the most famous athletes on earth. After winning the FIFA World Cup earlier this year, Messi sealed his spot as the top player in soccer history. But the man who marred Messi’s World Cup victory has now found support from Tom Brady.
