Angry Tom Brady Fans Felt Bamboozled By Disastrous Meet 'N' Greet

Tom Brady is facing major heat for a fan event held in Miami, which greatly disappointed attendees for several bizarre reasons.

TB12’s so-called " VIP" gathering resulted in a crowd of over 100 people who came to watch the former NFL quarterback speak and sign authenticated memorabilia.

Brady gave a speech to the attendees on Saturday, and when it was time to start signing, the QB's half-assed signatures prompted hate from fans.

The fans were not just outraged by Brady’s lazy scribbles; they were also incensed by the pricey merch's possible "devaluing" from the bad signatures. 

Some tried to wash off THE Tom Brady’s signature based on how bad the scribbles appeared.

For an event that cost $3,600, including a full slate of activities like a cruise and guided museum tour, the Brady fans felt swindled!

Some disgruntled fans even threw Brady’s "motivational" speech back at him, pressing Tom for the lazy signatures after he had delivered a motivational message.

Before blame gets lopped on the NFL superstar, Brady’s team did say they felt "blindsided" by poor event coordination. In a statement relayed by the New York Post, Brady thought the event would be limited to a "VIP" group rather than an autographing free-for-all with collectors. 

Another gripe by attendees was the lack of authenticators to verify the bad Brady signatures. According to Brady’s statement, the event unfolded much differently than expected and that he felt set up by the event coordinator, Fernando Anzures.

Then again, Brady's FTX investment puts a bit of a dent in his decision-making off the football field.

Whatever happened behind the scenes with the coordinators and the 46-year-old didn’t stop the Brady fanatics from trashing him online.

Tom Brady Fans Sound Off

Attendees sounded off on social media. The memorabilia site cllct.com also caught the reactions of angry fans who attended.

"I would have much rather him not sign it than what we got. He defaced our stuff," said a disappointed Glen Gagnon, 

Event attendee Brad Jarrett sounded off on Brady's disappointing event.

Jarrett posted on Facebook, "Well Tom these words were motivational until we saw the lack of effort that you put in on the signatures we paid a lot of money for. $3600 isn’t cheap and to hear you preach one thing and then act completely opposite.

"I consider myself lucky and blessed that I got what I did because there were far worse quality of signatures Tom was doing," he added. "Tom let his emotions get the best of him and didn’t hurt the promoters he hurt those of us who were there with items."

"I wish Tom stuck around long enough to see the looks of disappointment of the fans as they received their items."
