Rick Reilly makes a bad Somalia-Tom Brady joke, Twitter reacts
By Mike Dyce
Sports personality Rick Reilly made a really bad joke involving New England Patriots quarterback Tom Brady in the AFC Championship game. He was trying to make a joke about Brady’s poor game but just made a really bad joke in poor taste.
It was met with some negative response:
Somebody please tell me "Somalia" is an athlete's surname. pic.twitter.com/alqxpypjTz
