Brady only traveled a few blocks to get there, as the field is located just up the street from the Buccaneers' stadium Raymond James Field. But for Brady's longtime following in Boston from his 20-year career with the New England Patriots, the trip to George M. Steinbrenner field may have crossed a much different line.
New England is also home to the Yankees' archrival, the Boston Red Sox, which shares a large and passionate mutual fan base with the Patriots. Brady's willingness to train on the same ground as Yankee greats and Boston villains like Derek Jeter and Alex Rodriguez could be considered a betrayal by Boston sports standards.
New York sports fans, who had their own animosity toward Brady during his 20-year run of dominance in New England, aren't thrilled that the Yankees are hosting the former Patriot at their facility either.
WFAN New York Sports Radio afternoon co-host and Yankee fan Chris "C Mac" McMonigle reacted to the news that Brady was training at the Yankees facility live on Monday.
"I'm disgusted," McMonigle said. "Why are they letting Tom Brady in there?"
Fellow WFAN afternoon co-host Evan Roberts followed up with his own indictment of the Yankees for letting Brady use their facility.
"No one in New York likes Tom Brady," Roberts said. "Giant fans can't stand him, Jet fans can't stand him ... stop looking out for the Buccaneers and Tom Brady!"
Brady has had a budding connection to the Yankees for years, even dating back to his career in New England.
Most recently, Brady rented out a Florida house owned by Jeter, who he said has always been a friend of his in an interview with Howard Stern on Sirius XM.
