Tom Brady might want to avoid his Twitter mentions for a few days.

Predictably, Brady has faced significant criticism in the days since his purchase. In particular, many are outraged over TB12 Inc., Brady’s nutrition and athletic wellness company, receiving a nearly $1 million Paycheck Protection Program (PPP) loan only for its owner to buy a luxury boat.
Some also have alleged hypocrisy on the the part of Brady, who named the boat after Bundchen’s environmental conservation initiative.

Brady’s up-and-down week as a mega-rich person continued Monday when his Brookline, Mass. mansion was broken into by a homeless man who later was arrested.
