DEFLATEGATE: Why the NFL got it right
Tom Brady suspended 4 games without pay. Patriots fined $1,000,000. Patriots forfeit 2016 1st round pick. Patriots forfeit 2017 4th round pick. All for some deflated footballs in a game where the Patriots blew out the opposition. So why did the NFL get it RIGHT? I predicted the first two penalties down to the cent, but to me forcing the Pats to give up a first rounder was harsh, but fair. This is strike two for the Pats if there never was a “spy gate” these punishments wouldn’t be nearly as harsh, but that’s how life works repeated offenders get harsher punishments. The funny thing is that the team actually gets roughly 800-900 K from this because the team won’t have to pay Tom Brady the 1.8-1.9 Million for the games he will miss. I can guarantee that Brady will appeal this suspension and I think it has a chance to be shortened to two games but the NFL sent a big message with this ruling: Cheaters never win… well they do but then later they get to stay home from work with their supermodel wife until week 6.
Make sure to debate down in the comment section below whether or not the NFL got this ruling right! Too harsh or too lenient?
