The first four games of the 2016 NFL season aren’t the only upcoming events Tom Brady is missing.

Despite rumors he would attend, the New England Patriots quarterback will reportedly skip the Republican National Convention in Cleveland.

Brady has voiced support for Trump throughout the election cycle but has distanced himself from the presumptive Republican nominee in recent months. (AUDIO: Tom Brady: ‘I Support Trump… That Is What I Have To Say)

The four-time Super Bowl champion’s announcement aligns with former Chicago Bears coach Mike Ditka and former heavyweight champion Mike Tyson’s decisions not to attend the Cleveland convention.
