The daughter of the silversmith who crafted the first Vince Lombardi Trophy wants an apology from Tom Brady after he tossed the trophy from boat to boat during the Super Bowl LV parade.

During the Tampa Bay Buccaneers' celebration on the Hillsborough River in Florida, Brady threw the trophy across the water to teammates Rob Gronkowski and Cameron Brate, and videos of it went viral.

I personally would like an apology. Lorraine Grohs

Lorraine Grohs, daughter of Greg Grohs, is saying she "lost sleep" thinking about how the trophy was treated during the celebration.

"It just upset me that this trophy was disgraced and disrespected by being thrown as if it was a real football," shared Grohs. 

She feels that the players' actions are an insult to her family's legacy, saying, "I have a big history of this trophy being made by my father [...] and it takes a lot of hard work."

Grohs detailed the painstaking process that it takes to hand-form the iconic trophy, sharing that her father had to chisel the seams into the silver by hand. 

"I personally would like an apology, not just to me and my family and the other silversmiths but to the fans, all the football fans the other team players," said Grohs. 

Neither Brady, Brate nor Gronkowski have responded to Grohs' request, though the Bucs' general manager, Jason Licht, tweeted that she should "lighten up".
