Dual role has raised claims of conflict of interest

Brady says he is committed to integrity of his sport
Tom Brady has said only the “paranoid and distrustful” doubt that he can work as both a broadcaster and team owner in the NFL.
Since he retired from playing, Brady has become a minority owner of the Las Vegas Raiders and taken up a role as an analyst with Fox. As part of his broadcasting role, Brady has access to others teams’ players and coaches, an option unavailable to owners of other NFL teams. Some believe his dual role brings up a conflict of interest and gives Brady and, by extension, the Raiders an unfair advantage over other teams. The topic drew even more debate last week when Brady was seen in the Raiders’ coaching booth during the team’s loss to the Los Angeles Chargers. The NFL said Brady did not break any rules.
