Tom Brady’s Instagram Cliff-Diving Video Somehow Is Upsetting Some People
The world really has become a soft, soft place.
Exhibit A: the hullabaloo surrounding that video of Tom Brady jumping off a cliff with his daughter.
In case you missed it, Brady recently shared a video of himself jumping off a cliff with his daughter, Vivian. The 6-year-old understandably was frightened by the jump, which she may or may not have made against her will.
Take a look:
Now, it’s clear that Brady pulled his daughter off the cliff. Whether he was doing it to goof around or, perhaps, save her from slipping and/or falling, is up for debate. Either way, it’s a fairly innocuous video of a father and his daughter having fun on vacation.
However, the no-fun police came out in droves over the weekend to condemn the New England Patriots quarterback.
The backlash was the subject of a segment during Monday’s episode of “Today.”

NBC did a rather crappy job of highlighting actual negative reaction. Instead, the network featured a light-hearted tweet from Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, who punctuated his tweet with laughing emojis that did not make it onto NBC’s graphic.
(Say it with us: “fake news!”)
Anyway, we went ahead and gathered up some of the lame Twitter reactions (some of which are inappropriate) to Brady’s video.
Check these out:
Anything for a selfie …
This irresponsible act follows Brady’s dimwitted wife posting pics of their children riding horses without helmets.

Glad @espn thinks this is funny. Poor girl was clearly scared. Might as well just pushed her off. Disgusting.

He pulled her and caused hers to nearly land sideways??? Seriously, she should land on her feet. Not sure why ESPN tweeted this! This is poor judgement on Brady and ESPN.
