Superbowl MVP and seven-time Superbowl winner Tom Brady found himself getting backlash after an incident at one of the Superbowl parties after the Buccaneers’ win. At Hillsborough River in Tampa, Brady and a few others were partying on a boat when Brady decided to throw the Vince Lombardi trophy to a boat trailing him.

The annual NBA All-Star game, generally in February or March, is where the top NBA players are selected to participate in a one-off contest. The All-Star game draws in huge crowds and generates lots of revenue for the NBA. However, like so much else, this exciting weekend was impacted by the COVID-19 pandemic in 2021. There was not any crowd of spectators or fans, which meant fewer jersey sales, food sales and sponsorships. Before COVID-19, the NBA All-Star weekend would attract all types of celebrities, such as famous actors and rappers. |
