The New England Patriots quarterback is the latest celebrity to say he is skipping the convention in Cleveland.

Former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka said last week he supports Trump but would not speak for him at the event.

“I’m not big into doing things like that,” he told Trump during a call on June 29. "I’m not going to change opinions, opinions are like assholes.

“Everything you say about things, about the country, I agree with your opinions. You resonate with my kind of people. I believe in what you say wholeheartedly.”

Pittsburgh Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, meanwhile, said last month he would neither attend nor speak at the event.

And Trump last week quashed rumors that former heavyweight boxing champion Mike Tyson is in his corner for the convention.

Brady dodged questions late last year over whether he formally endorses Trump’s White House run.

“I support all of my friends,” he said on Dec. 15. "He’s always been so supportive of me. I’ve always enjoyed his company. I support all of my friends in everything that they do."

“Can I just stay out of this debate?” Brady asked on “The Dennis & Callahan Morning Show." "Donald is a good friend of mine. I’ve known him for a long time. That’s what I have to say.”

Trump has repeatedly boasted about his relationship with Brady on the campaign trail while also defending the Super Bowl MVP from his critics amid the "Deflategate" scandal.
