BOSTON (CBS) Football and politics dont always go hand in hand. But on Labor Day in Boston they did, thanks to Patriots quarterback Tom Brady.
Brady, who successfully challenged his 4-game DeflateGate suspension, was referenced multiple times during the annual Labor Day union rally and breakfast at the Park Plaza Hotel in Boston.
Among those mentioning Brady was President Barack Obama, who didnt waste any time with a DeflateGate reference.
Its always good to be back in Boston, especially when the weathers like this. Pretty soon fall is going to be in the air. Students are coming back. The Pats kick off on Thursday. Brady is free, Obama said with a smile.
Even Bradys happy hes got a union, the president said later in his speech. When Brady needs a union, we definitely need a union.
Earlier in the event, U.S. Sen. Ed Markey joked about Bradys union success.
No one will question the balls of a union member ever again, joked Markey, referencing Brady and his allegedly deflated footballs.
Steve Tolman, president of the American Federation of Labor and Congress of Industrial Organizations, mentioned Brady during his speech as well.
Its because of the union that Tom Brady had the right to challenge the unfair punishment handed down by the NFL, Tolman told the crowd.
