NFL Legend Tom Brady Slams Wayne Rooney's Work Ethic

In a surprising turn of events, NFL legend Tom Brady has criticized the work ethic of Premier League and MLS legend Wayne Rooney. The two met during the 2023-24 season when Rooney signed a three-and-a-half-year contract to become the head coach of Birmingham City, a club in which Brady holds a minority ownership stake. In a documentary launched on Friday, Brady expressed his concerns about Rooney's work ethic, stating, "I'm a little worried about our head coach's [Rooney's] work ethic." This criticism has sparked a debate among fans, with some siding with Brady and others defending Rooney. Rooney's tenure as Birmingham City's manager was short-lived, as he was fired in January 2024 after winning just twice in 15 games, leaving the team 20th in the standings and facing relegation to England's third tier for the first time since 1995. Meanwhile, Brady has been actively involved in shaping the offseason moves of the Las Vegas Raiders, a team he has a stake in. He reportedly had a significant voice in several key decisions, such as signing Pete Carroll as head coach, trading for QB Geno Smith, and drafting rookie QB Cam Miller. Brady's involvement in the Raiders' operations suggests he is taking a hands-on approach to his ownership role and is determined to help the team succeed.
