The NFL surely isn't going to appreciate Tom Brady's comments on the league's fine system.
Brady, who serves as a top announcer for Fox Sports, is also a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders. So, he's tied into the league in multiple official ways. However, that's not stopping him from criticizing the league.
The seven-time Super Bowl-winning quarterback blasted the league's fine system in a rant that will likely not go over very well at the NFL's headquarters in New York, New York.

Brady appeared on the "Stick to Football" podcast and made it clear that she hates the league's fine system.
“What they start doing is they start fining you $50,000, $75,000,” Brady said on the podcast. “And I’m saying, like, I hate that. I hate the fact that, like, you sign a contract for $2 million a year, $5 million a year, and it’s so easy for someone to say, ‘Give me $75,000. Give me $50,000. Oh, it’s your second offense? That’s $100,000. That’s your third offense, $200,000.’
“What job is like that in the world? Where you make a mistake at your job, and they come in, they go, ‘Hey, we’re gonna take your salary away.’ And then people are like, ‘Yeah, you should take his salary away.’”
Brady's comments won't go over well
Brady has multiple big ties to the NFL, obviously, so him coming right out and criticizing something that the league is pushing will not go over well.
You appreciate it from Brady, the announcer, but when it comes to Brady, the minority owner, the league would probably wish that he kept quiet.
