He’s in a wheelchair.

The ad, which has since been deleted, became the target of trolls who implied Brady was lying about being in a wheelchair and criticism of his appearance.

“It’s a back to school campaign, he’s obviously a kid, why would adults want to pick on a child?” he mother, Leigh, told Neil Mitchell.
