I find it a bit sad about his kids. There is something to be said about growing up and playing in the streets with all the rest of the kids. I grew up in a housing project in Dorchester. You were alone when you were with less than 5 kids. I never thought it was a negative living in a housing project. Some of my best memories were taking the T (MTA back then)with a couple of friends to a Red Sox game. Paying 75 cents for unreserved grandstand seats then migrating down to the box seats in the 6th or 7th inning. Ten cents for the T, a quarter for 5 packs of life savers, and the tickets and for less than a buck and half we spent many a sunny summer day dodging ushers and watching the Sox lose magnificently.
Its too bad, in a sense that Brady's kids will never experience that kind of freedom. Sure they have every advantage money can buy. Sure they get to watch games from private boxes, but somehow I doubt its the same....and I find it comforting that Brady seems to understand the inconsistency. Being Tom Brady's children will open a lot of doors, and these kids will lack for nothing, but there is also a burden that they will have to endure. As they grow up, they will always be compared to their father in everything they do, and they will NEVER have that freedom to simply "take in a game" with a bunch of friends.
