First female NFL coach ‘tired of hearing about Tom Brady’s balls’
Named the NFL's first female coach this week by the Arizona Cardinals, Jen Welter is a bit annoyed that her historic hiring has been overshadowed by news of Tom Brady's four-game suspension being upheld by the league.
In an interview with Time magazine, Welter was asked for her thoughts about the Brady ruling.
"You can't ask me about Tom Brady and want me to say anything about him other than I think he's an absolute phenomenal player," she said. "I can't speak to a ruling like that. And I think that there are so many things in football that need to be fixed, that we're spending, and pardon the pun, but I really am tired of hearing about Tom Brady's balls. I'd rather move on.
"It is kind of serendipitous though or funny or God's irony that the same day we announce a woman coach in the NFL, we can't get off Tom Brady's balls."
Welter then was asked: Do you think it's unfortunate that it kind of overshadowed you?
"It's those things that happen years later," she said. "Hopefully people will forget about Tom Brady's balls long before they'll forget that a girl is coaching in the NFL."
