Twitter Is Upset About How Gisele Comforted Her Crying Children After The Super Bowl

USA Today — Gisele Bündchen, Tom Brady’s wife, turned the New England Patriots’ 41-33 loss to the Philadelphia Eagles Sunday in Super Bowl LII into a teaching moment for their children — two of whom were crying after the game. “They haven’t won in a million years,’’ Bündchen said of the Eagles, and it probably felt that way for the Eagles fans before their team won their first Super Bowl title and first NFL championship since 1960. But Brady’s two sons and daughter were not easily consoled. At one point, 5-year-old daughter Vivian blurted out, “The Eagles won the Super Bowl.’’ Replied Bündchen, “Just this time. Daddy won five times. They never won before. “Their whole life, they never won a Super Bowl. You have to let someone else win sometimes.’’
I had a bit of a travel day yesterday so I’m just getting to this, but as I sat in the airport waiting for my flight I saw tons of people on Twitter going off about this. I think Trey Wingo was leading the charge but then everyone else piled on. “You didn’t LET anyone win! The Patriots lost! Tom Brady fumbled! The Eagles were the better team!” No fucking shit guys, we all know that. Every adult knows that. She was talking to her five year old daughter. Was she supposed to say that daddy shouldn’t have fumbled? That coach shouldn’t have benched Malcolm Butler? Should Gisele have broken down the Xs and Os of the game for the child that can’t spell her name yet?
Twitter really never ceases to amaze me. Keyboard warriors attack a mother because she didn’t use a Super Bowl loss as a moral teaching moment for her kids. She didn’t tell them that winning isn’t everything or that sometimes you try your best and still fall short, instead she just said that sometimes other people get to win. Biggggg fucking deal. If you’re upset about this, or even pretended to be upset for retweets, then you’re a fucking insane person. But I guess that’s the price of being king and queen of the world, everyone is looking at every little detail in an attempt to tear you down.
