In a series of Twitter posts Thursday night to his nearly 100,000 followers, the Stoneham native derided what he called Brady’s “garbage politics” and vowed to donate $100 to the NAACP Legal Defense Fund for every touchdown the Patriots score during Sunday’s Super Bowl LI matchup with the Atlanta Falcons, with a $50 donation for every field goal.

Add comedian Josh Gondelman to the list of longtime Patriots fans feeling queasy about the ongoing bromance between the New England Patriots’ three most high-profile figures — quarterback Tom Brady , head coach Bill Belichick , and owner Robert Kraft — and the country’s new president.


“I’d like to be able to cheer for the team I grew up loving without cheerleading the Trump administration,” he wrote.

Because of Tom Brady's garbage politics, I'm donating $100 for every Patriots TD and $50 for every FG to the @NAACP_LDF. #AGoodGame — Josh Gondelman (@joshgondelman) February 3, 2017

Gondelman, who writes for HBO’s “Last Week Tonight with John Oliver,” also invited his followers to donate to a cause of their choice using the hashtag “#AGoodGame.” Others quickly joined in, offering up various dollar amounts to organizations ranging from the ACLU to Planned Parenthood to the National Immigration Law Center.

In an e-mail to the Globe, Gondelman, a longtime Patriots fan who says his grandmother was buried in a Tom Brady jersey, credited friend Emma Sandoe with help in the endeavor, and called it “heartening” that others had gotten on board.

“I’d like to think that even if this is partially a craven attempt to assuage my own guilt and complicity, I can do more good than harm by rallying people to do a little nice thing,” he said.

“Also,” he added, “I tweeted that Tom Brady’s politics are ‘garbage,’ which may have been hyperbolic. What I mean, in the cold harsh light of day, is that I wish he would engage more critically with politics given his well-documented terrible choice in red hats.”
