View original post"Gisele Bundchen, supermodel wife of New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady, imparted some wisdom to her children about Super Bowl losses that she learned the hard way six years ago. After the Philadelphia Eagles handed the Patriots a 41-33 defeat on Sunday, Brady’s children — John, 10, Ben, 8, and Vivian, 5 — could be seen visibly upset about the loss at U.S. Bank Stadium, and USA Today’s Josh Peter relayed the advice that Bundchen offered them as they waited for their father.
View original post“They haven’t won in a million years,” she told the children, via USA Today.
View original postWhen Vivian lamented Philadelphia’s victory, Bundchen added:“Just this time. Daddy won five times. They never won before. Their whole life, they never won a Super Bowl. You have to let someone else win sometimes.”
View original post“Sometimes you have to let other people win. … We have to share. Sharing is caring.”
View original postShe reportedly could be seen congratulating Eagles players on the victory, and she shared her congratulations in the caption accompanying a post-defeat photo of the family on Instagram:
View original postCongratulations Eagles for winning the Super bowl, what a game that was! Congratulations Patriots for giving your best and to my love, we are incredibly proud of you because we are able to see ever day all the commitment, sacrifice and hard work that you have devoted to become the best in what you do. We love you!
View original postMaybe that sort of 'manana' bullshit works in Brazil, whose last major sporting event was characterized by people being super glad to get out, but here in 'Merica, ain't no such thing.
View original postFirst of all, math skills. "Ever" is not the same as "in a million years". Second, the number of times one party wins has nothing to do with the latest one. By Giselle's logic, Hitler should have won World War Two since it was Germany's turn, and the US had won five or six wars in a row, depending on how you count.
View original postThen, there is the point of whom she was telling this stuff to: her five year old daughter. Her daughter was four the last time Dad won. I sure as shit don't remember the Super Bowl from when I was four. The prior win was when the kid was two, how is she supposed to remember that? She probably has some vague recollection of being carried through a large noisy building with pathetic men in red clothing looking sad, and now this year, she was looking forward to being able to put it all in some context. Even the oldest kid wasn't born when the Patriots won their first three. In his lifetime, they are 2-3 in the Super Bowl now. Does her little socialistic sanctimony make any sense to someone with that perspective? It's like lecturing some blue-collar worker, supporting a family paycheck to paycheck, about his white privilege.
View original postHopefully for their own sake those kids pick up on their father's competitive spirit, and their mom should stick to what she is best at - accurrately predicting the inadequacy of certain Patriots' players' receiving capacity six years in advance.
