Tom Brady, the American football quarterback, has announced his retirement after a stellar 23-year career in the National Football League (NFL).
Brady announced his retirement on December 31, 2022, but six weeks later reversed his decision, claiming he had “unfinished business,” according to BBC Sport.
The 45-year-old won six Super Bowls with the New England Patriots and will play in the 2021 season for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
He, however, made the announcement known on Wednesday morning.
“I’m retiring for good,” Brady said in an emotional video posted on social media. “I know the process was a pretty big deal last time, so when I woke up this morning I figured I’d just press record and let you guys know first.
“It won’t be long-winded. You get one super-emotional retirement essay and I used mine up last year.
“Thank you so much to every single one of you for supporting me – my family, my friends, my teammates, my competitors. I could go on forever – there are too many.
“Thank you for allowing me to live my absolute dream. I won’t change a thing. Love you all.”
