While many football fans were outraged by yet another Patriots Superbowl victory for the simple fact that they win all the time, some on social media thought the Pats win meant a win for white supremacy.
The Patriots became highly politicized because of the fact their quarterback Tom Brady is friends with Trump and once was caught with a Make America Great Again hat in his locker. The Pat’s owner Robert Kraft and coach Bill Belichick are also close friends of the Donald. Trump even said Belichick one time kissed him on the cheek and told him he loved him.
<blockquote class="twitter-tweet" data-lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">What an amazing comeback and win by the Patriots. Tom Brady, Bob Kraft and Coach B are total winners. Wow!</p>— Donald J. Trump (@realDonaldTrump) <a href="https://twitter.com/realDonaldTrump/status/828447350200926212">February 6, 2017</a></blockquote><script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
So because Trump’s happy with a Pats win, that means white supremacy wins too, apparently.

But people on the left aren’t the only ones thinking white supremacists won tonight. Actually, white supremacists do too.
Alt right leader and guy who cried after getting punched in the face, Richard Spencer, celebrated the Patriots win as a win for the white race.

Shame on you, Brady. How could you be so racist by being good at football?
