WWE star Logan Paul issued a tongue-in-cheek apology to Tom Brady, Jalen Hurts, and other rivals following his antics at the Fanatics Flag Football Classic. The event, relocated for the exhibition match, saw Paul clash verbally with Brady beforehand, where the Super Bowl winner dismissed the wrestler’s training as ‘cute.’ During the game, Paul drew multiple penalties for rule misunderstandings and provocations, including snatching sunglasses from Team USA’s Housh Doucette and tossing them aside amid a loss.
The Video Apology
On Sunday after the match, Paul shared a video across his social media platforms, delivering mock remorse. “I’d like to take this opportunity to apologize for some of my actions in yesterday’s flag football game,” he began.
He first addressed Doucette: “I want to apologize to the United States flag football team for taking [Team USA star Housh] Doucette’s glasses off of his face and throwing them at the ground. That happened because after he scored a touchdown, he kind of got in my grill and said to me, ‘Welcome to flag football,’ which upset me because it’s comments like that that I just can’t tolerate.”
Paul continued to Jalen Hurts: “I’d like to apologize to Jalen Hurts for sacking you and later deflecting a pass that then got intercepted by my team, allowing us to score on the very next possession. If you get traded or your contract gets cut down, now we know why, and it’s probably pretty embarrassing, so I am sorry.”
To Brady, he said: “I’d like to apologize to Tom Brady for applying so much pressure on you play after play after play that had you literally fearing for your life. I understand you’re older, it’s not like you could go anywhere, and you got frustrated, which is why you threw the ball at me. And I want you to know that I forgive you for that, because that’s what real men do.”
Paul wrapped up: “And lastly, I want to apologize to everyone that said that I was not a great athlete, because you all look stupid as hell right now. Thank you.”
Game Highlights and Ongoing Feud
Paul persisted in taunting Brady throughout the afternoon, fueling their pre-game tension. His actions, like the sunglasses incident after Doucette’s touchdown, highlighted his aggressive style against NFL talents going at reduced intensity.
Social Media Reactions
The post sparked backlash, with fans labeling it rage bait. Former NFL player Asante Samuel commented, “Just say you wish you were a football player.”
One user remarked, “Your barber also needs to say sorry.” Another noted, “One thing the Paul brothers gon do is create fake beef w/ a legend.” A critic added, “Played a flag football game with nfl players who are barley [sic] going half speed and are only there for the check and now think he’s #TheS**t fairs mister Paul.”
Some reacted strongly: “Logan Paul is a genuinely a pathetic person and it is a travesty people support him….biggest man baby I’ve ever seen.” Others observed, “The Paul’s are the greatest rage baiters the world has ever seen,” and “He’s trying so hard to create beef with far superior athletes who barely even know who he is. It’s cringe and comical all at once.”
