I really don't understand the sudden uproar with him comparing football to war/the military. It's been that way forever.

Actual Brady quote: “I almost look at like a football season like you’re going away on deployment in the military, and it’s like, man, here I go again.”

Random examples:

"It's a war of attrition." "Battle in the trenches." "Throwing bombs" "Going to battle"

Many terms used in game are either adopted from the military or to it.

"Red zone" "End around" "Blitz"

"Pro football is like nuclear warfare. There are no winners, only survivors." -Frank Gifford
