Tom Brady Avoids NFL Punishment for Criticizing Officiating

The NFL determined that Brady's comments during a Lions-Packers game did not violate league rules despite his ownership stake in the Raiders.

Tom Brady, a Fox Sports analyst and minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders, criticized the ejection of Detroit's Brian Branch during a recent game.
The NFL has rules prohibiting team owners from publicly criticizing officials, but Brady's comments were not deemed egregious.
NFL spokesperson Brian McCarthy stated that Brady's comments did not question the integrity of the officials, thus avoiding punishment.
Brady's ownership stake in the Raiders requires him to adhere to specific rules, including restrictions on criticizing officials.
The incident has sparked discussions about potential conflicts of interest and the challenges Brady faces balancing his dual roles.
