Tom Brady Gets A License Plate
December 16th, 2020Now we know why park-violating, home-invading, NFLPA-ignoring, down-forgetting, handshake-stiffing, jet-ski-losing, biscuit-baking Bucs quarterback Tom Brady loves Florida so much.
Brady’s getting a license plate. No, really.
Fans of Brady (Bucs fans, Patriots fans and Joe assumes some who just think Brady is just so dreamy), you too can have Tom Brady adorn your rig with a vanity Florida license plate — for a fee.
Brady is a big booster of an organization called “Best Buddies,” which is sort of like a Big Brothers/Big Sisters charity for children with developmental issues.
Our good Florida governor Ron DeSantis signed legislation allowing Best Buddies to have a Florida vanity plate, documents Dan Trujillo WFTS-TV Channel 28.
“With his recent move to Florida, we are incredibly excited to team up with long-time Global Ambassador Tom Brady for the new Best Buddies specialty license plate. Since 2003, Tom has proven himself to be a committed advocate for individuals with disabilities, and we’re grateful that his commitment to our mission-driven initiatives will continue to create friendships, jobs, leadership development training, and inclusive living opportunities for people with special abilities here in the sunshine state,” said Anthony K. Shriver, Founder & CEO of Best Buddies International.
If that name rings a bell with you, it should. Shriver is the brother of former NBC News personality Maria Shriver, and he’s the former brother-in-law of “The Terminator” himself, former California governor and famed action films actor and bodybuilder Arnold Schwarzenegger.
More important, Shriver is the nephew of former president John Kennedy. The Kennedy family for decades has championed the causes of children in need, in particular the Special Olympics.
Per the mission statement of Best Buddies, the organization is:
… dedicated to establishing a global volunteer movement that creates opportunities for one-to-one friendships, integrated employment, leadership development, and inclusive living for individuals with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). … Best Buddies is the world’s largest organization dedicated to ending the social, physical and economic isolation of the 200 million people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). Our programs empower the special abilities of people with IDD by helping them form meaningful friendships with their peers, secure successful jobs, live independently, improve public speaking, self-advocacy and communication skills, and feel valued by society.
Pre-sale vouchers are available for the Brady vanity plates with Brady’s likeness to all Floridians and can be purchased for $35. Your county tax collector office or license plate agency will also have vouchers.

it seems like the crybabies will bitch and whine no matter what. 13 yrs since the Bucs were in a playoff game. The boo hooerys reming me of the left whining about EVERY SINGLE THING the President does. Right now the Bucks SHOULD BE 12-1 instead of 8-5. Just look standing on the sidelines if you want to find the answer. Who in hell waits till you’re down 17-0 before you make any adjustments. Hey Goober you was playing the best team in the league. Don’t give them 17 pts. Come on people, how dumb do you have to be to not double team the fastest receiver on the planet??????? After watching for 6 decades, it almost beats anything i’ve ever seen. I guess it’s the 2nd thing behind Superbowl 51. Remember that??????????????? Brady came back from 28-3 with about 2 minutes left in the 3rd quarter

“More important, Shriver is the nephew of former president John Kennedy.”
Its all one big circle jerk in politics and media, isnt it? No wonder they set their hair on fire for 4 years. An unapproved person was elected thats not in the club.
