The 76-year-old Pittsburgh Steelers legend has been working for Fox Sports for two decades. Bradshaw, a Louisiana native who won four Super Bowls during his playing career, has had some tough moments on the air. Bradshaw made a bizarre "put him down" comment about Deshaun Watson and took heat for doing a "Carolinas" accent days after Hurricane Helene <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/nfl-fans-calling-for-terry-bradshaw-to-retire-after-controversial-pregame-show" rel="nofollow"> hit the area </a> . His on-air highlight recaps have been spotty, too. “I worked up against them for the last 22 years, I haven’t seen a lot of their show,” <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/terry-bradshaw-made-troubling-mistake-during-sundays-show" rel="nofollow"> Boomer siason said </a> . “Obviously, I see it during the Super Bowl or when there’s one game for a playoff game, but I felt like it was a little disconcerting yesterday. I was worried about him. Is that the way it’s been?” While Bradshaw has been questionable about his on-air work, he's been steady with his politics - up until 2020, that is. <figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=3xAwkQ_0wFmZ49200" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=3xAwkQ_0wFmZ49200" width="1087" height="800" ><figcaption>NEW ORLEANS, LOUISIANA - JANUARY 20: Commenter Terry Bradshaw looks on prior to the NFC Championship game between the Los Angeles Rams and the New Orleans Saints at the Mercedes-Benz Superdome on January 20, 2019 in New Orleans, Louisiana.

However, in 2020, he decided to switch political parties, becoming a registered Independent voter. "I've been a Republican, but now I'm a registered independent. I don't want to alienate anyone, and the minute you say, “I'm a Democrat” or “I'm Republican,” you're kicking off the other side. I want the best person [in the White House], and I'll pick the one who's most like the way I feel," <a href="https://www.bjtonline.com/business-jet-news/terry-bradshaw-qa" rel="nofollow"> he told bjtonline </a> in 2020. Bradshaw has criticized both sides, including Donald Trump in 2017, for his comments on NFL players kneeling for the national anthem. "This is America. If our country stands for anything, folks, it's freedom. People died for that freedom. I'm not sure if our President understands those rights. That every American has the right to speak out also to protest. Believe me, these athletes do love our this great country of ours. "Personally, I think our President should concentrate on North Korea and healthcare rather than ripping into athletes and the NFL," <a href="https://www.si.com/media/2017/09/24/donald-trump-nfl-national-anthem-terry-bradshaw" rel="nofollow"> he said. </a><figure><img src="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?type=thumbnail_580x000&amp;url=2La7pp_0wFmZ49200" alt="https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=2La7pp_0wFmZ49200" width="1200" height="800" ><figcaption>PHILADELPHIA, PA - JANUARY 29: Fox NFL Sunday analyst Terry Bradshaw looks on during the Championship game between the San Fransisco 49ers and the Philadelphia Eagles on January 29, 2023.

"Talk about understanding rights and freedom--I don't think Terry Bradshaw understands them himself. Apparently, he thinks everyone should have the freedom to speak out except for Donald trump. Terry is not a very smart man," one fan wrote. "He didn't say Trump didn't have the right to say that stuff. He voiced his opinion saying he should concentrate on other things. So they are all using their freedom of speech," one fan added. "Bradshaw needs to keep his political opinion to his self, I can see why people turn on the heroes from the past, they open up what they truly think and lose more than half their fans," one fan added. "That was his whole point of saying he's going to be a registered independent. It's also a sad State of affairs that if somebody belongs to one party or the other, apparently a large majority of the other party automatically dislikes them. I always liked Bradshaw as a Steelers fan and I knew he was a Republican and I'm not but I didn't hold that against him. He probably doesn't agree with everything they do either," one fan added. What do you make of Bradshaw's decision to switch from Republican to Independent? <a href="https://thespun.com/nfl/denver-broncos/nfl-coach-diagnosed-with-cancer-at-35-years-old" rel="nofollow"> Related: NFL Coach Diagnosed With Cancer At 35 Years Old </a></div></body>
