Bradycast: Back from Final Round; New Leaf

Back from Final Round and in a different light, Tom Brady takes to the air to discuss some issues. While these issues mainly pertain to the top players and leaders in our community, it's about turning a 'new leaf' and you will understand as you listen.

Our community is amazing and we should keep it that way. We need to keep moving forward in the best way possible and if that means making some changes... well, it's up to us in the end. ~ STORMS

Tom, all of these things you talk about are a part of spectator sports. You should understand this more than most being an athlete. Take college football for example. There is a ranking system that comes out....BEFORE THE SEASON EVEN STARTS!!! Every week, fans and sportscasters spend hours analyzing who is better than who, who should be higher on the ranking list, who performed well this week, who didn't perform well this week, and guess what....it all changes the next week. By your logic, we should never have a ranking list in college football, and we should wait until the end of the season before analyzing or having an opinion. There is entire tv shows, tv networks even, dedicated to analyzing the players.....why? Because it is entertainment to the spectator. Why do you think people like to fill out college basketball brackets? Play fantasy football? It is not meant to disrespect anybody. It is for fun and entertainment, and that is good for any sport. If nobody cared who was top, who was the best with which character, which character beats which characters, who was hot this week, who was not....if nobody cared about that stuff....I'd be concerned about the state of the game.

The top players are going through the same thing that any pro athlete goes through. Fighting games are streamed and they are open to the same level of analysis and opinion that any other spectator sport is. That is just the way it is, and the way it will continue to be. I don't see any point in fighting against that. Let the community enjoy the sport.

Stay classy Mr. Brady. Seriously love the positivity on the boards these days.

This is an incredibly good point, but pro athletes don't interact with the fans as much as top players in injustice do. They ignore they hype of how they suck or whatever. So do top players want to come to the forums and see how they are frauds? No. Do the citizens of TYM like discussing the game with top 8 players? Yes. You can't have it both ways.
