I don't think people would have cared if Brady had worn a Tigers hat, or a Brewers hat, or a Giants hat, or even an Angels hat (those being teams around his college and where he grew up). I think the reason there was so much of a stink over it is because the guy has no perceived "natural connection" to NYC. Sure maybe he's been a Yankees fan since he was a baby, but if that's the case nobody knows about it, and I think that's why people got SO bent out of shape about it. I mean sure, yeah it was because it's the Yankees too.
But my theory was always "Brady's not a Yankees fan. He just needed a hat to put on with his sunglasses so he could try to hide a bit, and that was a hat that somebody had left at his place" or something like that.
