Tom Brady is being wrongly accused of disrespecting J.J. Watt
After the New England Patriots dominated the Houston Texans on Sunday Night Football, NBC cameras caught J.J. Watt appearing to try to shake Tom Brady's hand, only he couldn't because Brady seemingly wouldn't acknowledge him.
The Vine has been viewed more than 2.4 million times at the time of this post, because "Tom Brady snubs J.J. Watt" is a juicy headline. It also produced a bunch of tweets like these accusing Brady of being disrespectful to Watt.
Except none of that is true.
It was so obvious J.J Watt wanted some love after the game from Tom Brady but TB didn't see him and just kept on walking. poor J.J #Patriots

Brady and Watt shook hands before the cameras locked onto them:
Sorry, fans-who-want-any-reason-to-hate-Tom-Brady. There's nothing to see here.
RESPECT. #NEvsHOU #SNF pic.twitter.com/tsXpMbgTHq
