Tom Brady tells young fan that ‘haters’ should be met with ‘love’

The Super Bowl’s Opening Night event, which is essentially an overgrown, unusually lively media session, always has its share of nontraditional interviewers and offbeat questions. So it was on Monday, and while some Rams and Patriots players were getting quizzed about Sean McVay’s teenage hairdo or being challenged to eat scorpions,
Tom Brady was fielding a question about his “haters.”
The 41-year-old Patriots quarterback took the question from a young fan, who asked, “How are you able to focus, despite the negative fan base, a.k.a. the haters?”
Brady turned the question back on the boy, who was wearing a shirt with the logo of the NFL’s “Play 60” program, which encourages youth to engage in physical activity for at least 60 minutes a day. “I dunno, what do we do about the haters?” the five-time Super Bowl winner asked, only to get an uncertain shrug in return.
“We love ’em. We love ’em back, because we don’t hate back,” Brady said. “We appreciate it, and we love ’em, and we wish them the best in their life.”
