Sean Strickland Calls Tom Brady A 'F***ing P***y' Over Roast Reaction

Sean Strickland thinks Tom Brady's post-roast reaction was very weak.

Brady was the center of a massive Netflix roast that set the internet on fire a few weeks ago. It was loaded with plenty of hilarious jokes, an awkward moment when the retired QB told Jeff Ross to not talk about Robert Kraft and plenty of cheap shots at Brady's ex-wife Gisele.

It was a blast, but after the fact, the seven-time Super Bowl champion claims he wouldn't do it again. Brady claimed he didn't like how it "affected" his children, and it was reported Gisele was also not happy about being the butt of jokes.

Sean Strickland goes after Tom Brady's post-roast reaction

The most vocal man in the UFC thinks Brady needs to toughen up. He knew what he was signing up for and if he couldn't handle it, then don't do it, according to Strickland.

The UFC sensation told the media the following Wednesday:

"He got mad. 'Don't talk about my wife like that!' Listen, you f*cking p*ssy.' You signed up to be made fun of. You can't handle it? Don't f*cking do it. I don't know if I could handle it. I might be like, ‘Shut the f*ck up!’ He handled that like a f*cking woman, dude. You act like a f*cking girl and you pet f*cking goats and you post gay f*cking photos. Man the f*ck up. No one thinks you're tough, Tom Brady. You're making fun of a f*cking comedian, you f*cking p*ssy."

While Strickland's language might have been a bit over-the-top in classic Strickland form, I think his base point is pretty accurate. A roast is insult comedy. It's supposed to be wildly offensive and go after who the person is. That's the entire point. If it's not making you uncomfortable, then the roast is likely bombing. There should be multiple moments in a great roast where people physically cringe because they know the jokes are rooted in truth.

Now, we all understand a guy not wanting to be in a situation where he feels his kids have been embarrassed. I totally get that.

After the fact, Brady said the following, in part, "It’s the hardest part about … like the bittersweet aspect of when you do something that you think is one way and then all of a sudden you realize 'I wouldn’t do that again' because of the way that it affected actually the people that I care about the most in the world…But you don’t see the full picture all the time. Sometimes you’re naive. You don’t know. It makes you, in some ways, a better parent going through it."

Fair enough, but anyone who has seen a high-level roast knew exactly what was going to happen with Brady due to the fact there were plenty of rumors about his failed relationship with Gisele. It was the ripest fruit to be picked. If Brady couldn't handle that or was worried about his kids, then he should have done the roast. It's truly that simple. Nobody was making fun of his kids. They were making fun of his ex-wife and the relationship. At the end of the day, that's on Brady and Gisele.

Great comedy shouldn't have filters. In fact, it can't have filters. Once you start to sanitize humor, then you're already playing defense instead of playing offense.

Again, I might not love all the language Strickland used, but his baseline point isn't inaccurate. You can't ask to be roasted in front of the country for a Netflix special, and then complain about it after the fact. That's not how life works. I can't show up to a gunfight and then tell everyone a week later I didn't like the fact bullets were flying through the air.

Embrace great comedy, never apologize for laughing and let's at least appreciate Brady giving it a shot and Strickland reacting in a way only Sean Strickland can. Let me know what you think at David.Hookstead@outkick.com.
