Tom Brady online jersey sales have doubled since his four-game suspension was announced Monday by the National Football League, according to Fanatics.com, which operates the NFL online store and is the biggest Internet retailer of officially licensed sports merchandise.

Brady, the New England Patriots quarterback, was banned for his role in the team using intentionally underinflated balls during the American Football Conference championship game in January against the Indianapolis Colts.
