Brees asks mother to pull his image from her political ads

As for politics and athletes/team leader: Didn't Tom Brady participate in a bunch of Republican national fundraisers a few years ago?

Perhaps, but in the 2004 election he also "agreed to headline a fund-raiser for Senator John F. Kerry [D-MA] on June 21."

Brady appears to be eyeing politics with a foot in each camp. If he's thinking he'll run in his home (NoCal) or in Mass. he's probably thinking Democrat.
